Need IK support for 6-axis collaborative robots (Cobot)

Seokhyun Lee 2 weeks ago in realvirtual.io Starter and Professional updated by Support 2 days ago 1

Hello Again,


I'm currently using realvirtual io 6 Professional.

Recently, many robots are being introduced to automate manufacturing processes, 

but most of them are collaborative robots, not industrial robots.

- Industrial robots: TCP, Axis6, 5 and 4 on a straight line 

  (example ABB IRB 1200, Yaskawa robot)

- Collaborative robots (Cobot) : TCP, Axsis6, 5 and 4 are not on a straight line 

  (example UR UR5/6/10, Fanuc CRX 10iA)

I'd like to explore this robotic automation with realvirtual io, 

but the robot IK support in realvirtual io currently only supports industrial robots, limiting its usability.

★ I need IK support for 6-axis collaborative robots (Cobot).

(As shown in the image below, the FANUC robot (CRX-10iA) used in the representative demo included in realvirtual io 6 is also a 6-axis collaborative robot (Cobot), but I can't find IK support for 6-axis collaborative robots in realvirtual io 6 Professionals)

Do you have any plans for this?

(Please provide IK support for Cobot..!)

Thanks.


Best regard,

Seokhyun Lee

Hi, yes it is on our plans but not on the hight priority list. Mathematics of our IK would need to change for this. For the moment you can use RoboDK or the controller. Robot in the demo cell has been recorded while connected for example to FanucRoboGuide
