Abstract
A system that uses 3D scanning, a process agnostic pointing device used in conjunction with user input, and geometric analysis of the 3D information to create a robot program.
Claims13
A teaching system comprising:
- a workpiece;
- a 3D scanning device operable for scanning objects;
- a 3D scan of the workpiece created by the said 3D scanning device;
- a process agnostic pointing device whose pose is trackable;
- a storage means for storing one or more elements of robot program information input by a user via the said process agnostic pointing device;
- and
- a computation device configured to define instructions for a robot based on the said 3D scan of the workpiece and the said one or more elements of robot program operation information input by a user via the said process agnostic pointing device;
- and
- the said computation device defines the said instructions for a robot based on geometric information extracted from the said 3D scan.
6 more elements
A method comprising:
- creating a first 3D scan of a workpiece using a 3D scanning device;
- recording positions relative to said workpiece using a process agnostic pointing device;
- inputting said first 3D scan and said recorded positions into a computational device;
- creating a second 3D scan of a workpiece using a 3D scanning device;
- and
- said computational device creating instructions to move a robot to perform work on a work piece based on said second 3D scan and said recorded positions.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- placing a workpiece;
- recording positions relative to said workpiece using a process agnostic pointing device;
- inputting said recorded positions into a computational device;
- and
- creating a 3D scan of a workpiece using a 3D scanning device by using the said recorded positions relative to said workpiece to determine what regions of said workpiece to include in the said 3D scan.
