The invention relates to a robot system, to a corresponding method, and to a processing system, wherein, along a process line, which is formed by guide rails, or on a conveyor belt, objects or workpieces are optionally moved or transported on carrier devices having gripping elements. The robot arm removes the objects from the process line by pulling or pushing the objects from a plane or surface of the process line into a working chamber compliantly, i.e., in a non-rigid manner by means of force control, wherein the objects are positioned and oriented in the working chamber by means of guiding elements. After the processing of the objects in the working chamber, the objects are pushed or pulled back onto the process line by means of the robot arm. The process line can comprise passive, non-driven rollers or the like instead of an actively driven conveyor belt, wherein the robot arm nudges or pushes the objects in order to transport the objects.
Robotic system having at least one robot arm and a control unit for controlling the movement of the robot arm, which has at least one effector, the robotic system being positionable and orientable in the region of a process line along which an object or a carrier device, on which the object is arranged, can be moved, the control unit and the robot arm being configured such that
Method for controlling a robotic system which has at least one robot arm and a control unit for controlling the movement of the robot arm, which has at least one effector, the robotic system having a compliance control and being positionable and orientable in the region of a process line, along which an object or a carrier device on which the object is arranged is movable, the robot arm interacting with the object in the region of a working space assigned to the robotic system, and the working space having at least one guide means for guiding the object or the carrier device,
Processing system comprising a process line along which objects or carrier devices for these objects are movable, and a robot arranged in the region of said process line, said robot having one or more axes and being formed with compliance control, wherein at least one guide means arranged in the region of the process line and adapted to transfer the object or the carrier device by a movement of the robot into a processing position provided for further processing of the object.
