Robot Path Planning Dialog Box

The Robot Path Planning dialog box appears when you click Robot Path Planning and select a robot.

This dialog box contains controls for:

This page discusses:

General

Selected Resource
Displays the name of the currently active resource.

Specifications

The Specifications tab is where all of the inputs are set.

Passage points
New
Displays a Jog dialog box that provides a Add new passage point command, allowing you to specify a position and add a passage point.
Modify
Displays a Jog dialog box that provides a Update passage point command, allowing you to modify the position and update the current passage point.
Delete
Removes the currently selected point from the Passage points list.
Move up
Moves a selected passage point up in the Passage points list.
Move down
Moves a selected passage point down in the Passage points list.
Obstacle
Add
Prompts you to select a new obstacle in the work area, and adds it to the Obstacle list.
Remove
Removes a selected obstacle from the Obstacle list.

Options

The Options tab provides advanced options for computing the path.

Position range
X max, X min, Y max, Y min, Z max, Z min
Values that define the define the minimum and maximum position limits within which the computed path must fit. These values can be defined directly, and are also updated automatically when the shaded bounding box around the robot is resized in the work area.
Limits displayed with reference:
Displays the position limits with respect to the 3D Compass or World coordinates.
Rotation range
Yaw max, Yaw min, Pitch max, Pitch min, Roll max, Roll min
Values that define the minimum and maximum limits allowed to rotate the points to compute the path.
Rotation tolerance
Yaw, Pitch, Roll
.
Solver options
Sampling distance
Defines the sampling distance between points.
Maximum attempts
Defines the maximum number of attempts.
Time-out limit
.
Stop index
.
Keep robot configuration
Keeps the same robot configuration for all points.

Results

The Results tab computes the possible solutions based on what has been specified in the Specifications and Options tabs, and displays the generated paths in the Computed solutions list.

Compute possible solutions
Click to generate the list of possible paths once targets, obstacles, and options have been defined.
Computed solutions
Lists paths generated based on all other inputs from which robot tasks can be created.
