Every Robot Needs "Home" Position!

Image
    If you worked with industrial robots  before  or will work with them, you probably heard or will hear two magic words mostly which are " Home Position ".  This is some unwritten deal with human and machines to work in peace(don't fear from the robots if take them into  the home position at the starting). "Did you send the robot at home position after initializing the system(alright depends on the scenario)?" or "PLC step waits the robot at home signal for starting" are the sentences which used by the people who work with robots. So it is important to understand the concept of home position and home signal for the agreement for the outer devices such as other robots and PLCs. For an example, I would like to mention about how to define home position and home position signal at the Epson robots . I used Epson RC+ 7.0 software for this. In this way, I had made a quick introduction to this robot brand. What Is Home Position? The Home Position could be ...

Many Jobs At A Time - Soft Robotic

     Last night I read an article about soft robotics at the IEEE Spectrum magazine . This article was publish  by Cecilia Laschi  at March, 2017 which name is "A robot octopus points the way to soft robotics". Then I found the related article from the internet.(You can access from this link ). The article was simply related with soft robotic project and outcomes of this project.  " As a professor at the BioRobotics Institute at the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, in Pisa, Italy, I lead a team investigating soft robotics. This relatively new field of research has the potential to upend our ideas about what robots are capable of and where they can be useful. I chose to build robots that mimic the form of the octopus for two reasons. First, because they’re well suited to demonstrate the many advantages that come when a machine can flex and squish as needed. Also, it’s an excellent engineering challenge: An octopus with eight wiggly arms, which must work together ...

What If Your Robot Moves Unexpectedly?

Manipulator Model:  Yaskawa Motoman GP180 Controller Model : YRC1000 Application:  Handling and Palletizing This morning I faced an annoying problem, which was related to robot movement through the programmed steps during the playback. For solving this problem, I tried some solutions and as a result, I am thinking that I solved this problem. Therefore, I decided to create a post for problem definition and solving of this problem.  Shortly explaining my problem, when robot goes from one point to the another point robot tool is turning 360 degree at around itself to reach same coordinate. It may causes major problems such as collide with something at the cell, destroying cables of sensors onto the tool. On the other hand, this type of movement had no sense to move like that. (Who wants extra paths and movements at the robot?).  To reach the solution, I tried three steps, which are listed below: Change the orientation degrees of the point data. (Sending away Rx, Ry and ...
