Managing Target Types

Convert target types (tag, cartesian, joint) for a given robot task.

Some robot controllers support only joint targets while others support cartesian/tag targets. Since robot tasks can be downloaded to any kind of robot, you need to be able to manage target types on a selected task and convert them from one type to another.

Before you begin: You must have robot tasks defined, and you be in the Live Simulation environment.
  1. Click Target Reconciliation .
    You are prompted to select a robot or robot task.
  2. Select a robot or a valid robot task.

    The Target Reconciliation dialog box is displayed.

    You can switch to a different task by selecting one from the Behavior tab of the Immersive Browser, or from the Task list in the dialog box.

  3. Select one or more activities in the Task Table to convert to another target type.
    Note: Multiple activities can be selected by holding the Ctrl key on the keyboard while selections are made.
  4. Select one of the three types (Tag , Cartesian , or Joint ) provided under Reconcile to convert the target types for the selected activities.

    The target types are updated for the selected activities.

  5. Click Close to keep the current settings and dismiss the Target Reconciliation dialog box, or select another task to edit.
    You can also select Reset to undo any changes that have been made to the current task.
