Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) system for production-tuning of parameters for a visual tracking robotic picking system. The robotic picking system includes one or more robots configured to pick randomly-placed and randomly-oriented parts off a conveyor belt and place the parts in an available position, either on a second moving conveyor belt or on a stationary device such as a pallet. A visual tracking system identifies position and orientation of the parts on the feed conveyor. The AR system allows picking system tuning parameters including upstream, discard and downstream boundary locations to be visualized and controlled, real-time robot pick/place operations to be viewed with virtual boundaries, and system performance parameters such as part throughput rate and part allocation by robot to be viewed. The AR system also allows virtual parts to be used in simulations, either instead of or in addition to real parts.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a continuous machining process includes a robot, a machining tool, a table, and a raw parts supply mounted inside a machining cell enclosure. The table has first and second vises for holding parts. The machining tool is operated to machine a raw part in one of the vises while the robot is operated to pick a machined part from the other vise and then place another raw part into the other vise. The table can be fixed or rotatable. The robot places the picked machined parts on an exit conveyor to remove the machined parts from the enclosure.

Abstract: A method for performing robot dynamic path modification using a remote tool center point (RTCP) coordinate frame, for applications such as material dispensing. A processing tool is fixedly mounted in a workcell and the robot holds and moves the workpiece during the processing. The RTCP coordinate frame is defined at the tip of the tool. A nominal processing path on the workpiece is defined, and a prescribed offset distance from the tip of the tool to the workpiece is defined. A sensor measures the actual offset distance from the tool tip to the workpiece. A controller applies the offset in the RTCP coordinate frame and calculates robot motions causing the robot to move the workpiece nominal path past the tool tip at the offset distance. The controller converts the offset from the RTCP frame to a workcell frame, and performs inverse kinematics calculations to generate robot joint motion commands.
