  • Patent number: 11511435
    Abstract: A method for calibrating a robot coordinate system of a robot with a conveyor coordinate system of a movable conveyor member, the method including providing a sensor configured to detect positions of the robot in a non-contact manner; detecting a position of the robot when the conveyor member is positioned at a first operating position; detecting a position of the robot and/or of the conveyor member by the sensor in the sensor coordinate system when the conveyor member is positioned at a second operating position different from the first operating position; and determining a relationship between the robot coordinate system and the conveyor coordinate system based on at least one detected position of the robot in the sensor coordinate system. A robot system and a control system are also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11420323
    Abstract: A method for controlling movement sequences of a robot, the method including predicting values of at least one parameter related to the execution of alternative movement sequences by the robot, where each movement sequence includes at least one movement segment associated with a handling location; selecting a movement sequence based on the predicted values of the at least one parameter; and executing the selected movement sequence by the robot. A control system for controlling movement sequences of a robot is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20170282366
    Abstract: A device for setting an operation of a robot unit where the device is adapted to create or modify a robot control program that is executed by a robot controller that controls the operation of the robot unit. The device includes a Central Processing Unit (CPU) adapted to execute a software program for creating or modifying the robot control program, wherein a user platform is adapted to be connected to the device for enabling input of information to the software program. The device has a platform independent Representational State Transfer communication protocol (REST client) and means for transferring a platform independent REST client to the user platform, which platform independent REST client enables the user platform to communicate with the software program.
