Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating and evaluating robotic workcell solutions includes: determining a plurality of locations within a workcell volume, wherein each location corresponds to a possible workcell solution; for each location included in the plurality of locations, determining a value for a first robot-motion attribute for a first robot based on position information associated with the location and a trajectory associated with a component of the first robot; and, for each location included in the plurality of locations, computing a first value for a first performance metric based on the value for the first robot-motion attribute.

Abstract: An agent engine allocates a collection of agents to scan the surface of an object model. Each agent operates autonomously and implements particular behaviors based on the actions of nearby agents. Accordingly, the collection of agents exhibits swarm-like behavior. Over a sequence of time steps, the agents traverse the surface of the object model. Each agent acts to avoid other agents, thereby maintaining a relatively consistent distribution of agents across the surface of the object model over all time steps. At a given time step, the agent engine generates a slice through the object model that intersects each agent in a group of agents. The slice associated with a given time step represents a set of locations where material should be deposited to fabricate a 3D object. Based on a set of such slices, a robot engine causes a robot to fabricate the 3D object.
