Systems and Methods for Robot Automation

A system for automatic programming of a robotic assembly to perform an automatic robotic manufacturing process, the system comprising:

• a tracking assembly;
• a mapping tool;
• and
• a computing device having a processor and a memory, the processor in communication with said tracking assembly and said mapping tool, said processor configured to:
• receive tracking data from the tracking assembly and the mapping tool indicating movement of the mapping tool along a working path within a teaching workspace;
• and
• based on said tracking data, automatically generate robot instructions, said robot instructions being configured for execution by a robot controller of the robotic assembly to cause the robotic assembly to perform the automatic robotic manufacturing process by moving along a robot path corresponding to the working path.

An automation system for facilitating automated robotic manufacturing processes, the automation system comprising:

• a teaching subsystem comprising:
• a mapping tool;
• and
• a tracking assembly configured for tracking movement of the mapping tool in a teaching workspace;
• and
• a computing device having a processor and a memory, said processor in communication with the tracking assembly and the mapping tool, said processor configured to:
• receive tracking data from the tracking assembly and the mapping tool indicating movement of the mapping tool along a working path;
• and
• based on said tracking data, automatically generate robot instructions;
• and
• a robotic assembly comprising:
• a robot;
• an end effector;
• and
• a robot controller configured to receive the robot instructions from the computing device and execute the robot instructions whereby the robot controller controls the robot and the end effector to conduct the automated robotic manufacturing process.
