Why buy when you can do it yourself? This is probably what Maximilian Wagner was thinking about for his doctoral project in which he wrote his own 3D programming and simulation software for robots. He used it to control the cooperation of two small robots from the KR AGILUS series. An important factor here for ensuring smooth operation is the automatic calibration of the robots to one another. As a result, the ability to reach points in the shared workspace can be defined. The doctoral candidate solved this problem with his software. He can thus focus on his main task: the automatic generation of optimum robot programs for processes such as the gluing of parts. For this, the operator draws a 2D sketch which is projected onto a 3D model of the workpiece by the software. Based on the resulting 3D path and the process parameters, two robot programs are automatically generated: one for the robot with the tool and one for the robot holding the component.
