Abstract: A method for robotic machining is disclosed. The method includes determining a first designed machining path based on a modelled surface for a target surface to be machined. The method also includes causing a robot to machine the target surface based on the first designed machining path in an adaptive manner to obtain an actual machining path, wherein where the modelled surface is different from the target surface, the robot is caused to follow the target surface. The method further includes determining a second designed machining path for the target surface based on the actual machining path and the first designed machining path.

Abstract: A robot off-line programming method. The method includes: respectively obtaining a first data representing positions and orientations of the plurality of targets on at least one work piece, a second data representing position of the at least one work piece, a third data representing geometry of a tool, and a fourth data representing the tool position and orientation with respect to an end of the robot; obtaining the robot path for which the tool tip passes through the plurality of the targets on the at least one work piece; using a function of an inverse kinematics for the robot model in consideration of the first data, the second data, the third data and the fourth data, calculating how many of the targets on the obtained robot path are reachable to the tool in relation to various rotation angle of the tool around the tool axis within a predetermined range so as to comply with optimization criteria. With the automatic calculation and intuitive preview, users could get to know directly about how many targets can be processed actually on a robot path. If the reachability is unsatisfied, the users could also have chances to modify the settings to obtain a more reasonable and precise path. An apparatus for implementing the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus of identifying welding seams of a welding object. The method includes identifying intersection lines between geometrical bodies of the welding object in a three-dimensional model for the welding object, based on geometry of the geometrical bodies to form a collection of welding seams for the welding object. The method also includes eliminating hidden seams from the collection of welding seams for the welding object based on overlapping relationship among the welding seams to form a candidate seam list. Welding seams can be identified automatically and efficiently, and the method or the apparatus makes the automatic programming of the welding robot possible and thus facilitates use of a robot in welding huge and complex structures manufactured in a small batch.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus of determining search parameters for welding seam point calibration. The method includes determining, for a seam vertex point on a welding seam, three reference faces which are perpendicular to each other, based on geometry of an object to be weld in a virtual model; and determining a start point and a search point of a search motion for welding seam point calibration based on the three reference faces and predetermined criteria respectively for the start point and the search point. Three reference faces can be extracted automatically, and search parameters needed for the search instructions can be determined based thereon which enables automatic generation of search instructions and thus the time, manpower and cost for the welding seam point calibration can be reduced greatly.
