Path Planning with Motion Optimization for Car Body-in-White Industrial Robot Applications

摘要

This paper discusses the problem of effective motion planning for industrial robots. The first part dealt with current method for off-line motion planning. In the second part the presented work is done by one of the simulation systems with automatic trajectory generation and off-line programming capability. A spot welding process is involved. The practical application of this step strongly depends on the method for robot path optimization with high accuracy, thus transform the path into a time and energy optimal robot program for the real world, which is discussed in the third step.
