Trajectory Smoothing

This feature brings a more realistic trajectory, closely mirroring the smooth paths found in real-life scenarios, which enables more accurate interference reports(New feature) and cycle time analysis.

...

  1. Smoothing Definition: Set smoothing values from 0.0 mm to 500 mm for realistic robot trajectories.

  2. Global and Individual Settings: Define smoothing globally or per waypoint.

  3. Enhanced Visualization: View smoothed trajectories within RPC.

Auto-Save securely save your latest work

[GIF]

We've added an automatic project saving feature. It will be automatically enabled after upgrading to this version. This function can be disabled from the project settings. You no longer have to worry about losing your work in the middle of a task!

Enhanced re-parenting feature boosts alignment process

Get ready to take your alignment to the next level with our newly enhanced re-parenting feature, designed to simplify and accelerate your workflow!

...

Bulk Re-Parenting: Now, you can effortlessly move multiple targets/frames/mates (e.g. 50 weld points) to a new parent frame while keeping the same old location! No more tedious one-by-one adjustments.

Interference and near-miss report

This feature has been frequently requested by our customers and aims to simplify the generation of interference and near-miss reports for interlock design.

2.1. Major Improvements

Render autoconnects on canvas

  • when we have an obstacle to the robot's move, the robot will bypass it using an autoconnect

  • we used to get the position of nodes via targets but now nodes have position and we use them to draw the lines

  • all edges are shown in the Robots tab

  • only the autoconnects are shown in the Connections tab

A cleaner and more intuitive layout

[GIF: Switching Projects and Workcell tab, enter to operation mode to show color change]

  • Selected pane button now flows into the active pane, clearly indicating which pane is active

  • Pane titles have been removed, giving more space for important UI elements

  • Command Pane has been split into the Projects Pane and the Workcell Pane

  • Cosmetic changes provide a more modern look and clearer indication of the mode of the appliance

Speed limited link selection

...

  • Users can now limit the maximum velocity of a robot’s links from the Robot Advanced Settings dialog

  • Negative values indicate no limit, fixed links cannot be limited as they cannot move

  • Status
    colourRed
    titleLIMITATION
    Currently, we only support one maximum speed limit. Thus the minimum nonzero limit is globally applied to all links. This will be rectified when the robot supervisor is complete

Tags Selector Drop-down

  • Added a target selection feature to filter the connections.

  • Users can now use the dropdown to filter connections more easily.

  • added a toggle option to filter either “Any connection with these targets” or

    Connections with only these targets”.

Converting multiple auto-connects to manual connections fails if the targets to be connected for those auto-connects are the same

Fixed

31952

[TODO: Update with final state of the development] No warning is provided to user for any lost target assignments or connections when transitioning from model mode to roadmap mode

Open

33589

[Remove] A value of 0 is not invalid when giving that as input to the preset dynamics dialog, but is not saved when clicking OK

Open

34443

[Limitation] Software hangs sporadically when setting voxel size to 2mm

Open

34370

When clicking on OK in a Mate dialog, the last selected state under the Mate dialog is selected as the active state and not the state of the active preset

Open

[Remove] Upon selecting a edit value field in the mate offset, units of the offset in the edit mate field are shown as different than the ones from project settings

Open

29701

[Limitation] Validate remaining does not work when jog dialog is open

Open

34016

[Remove] Loading the same project multiple times in RPC does not clear the system memory and can lead to software crash

Open

[Remove] Software crashes if more than one validation actions are sent in parallel

Open

Deterministic path planning is not guaranteed for clearances greater than 10cm

Open

Clearance Rule and Disable collision checking dialog allows creating a rule with same name across presets

Open

32765

Live Robot Connection makes the override speed of the teach pendant to be 100% upon connection

Open

28237

Live Connect to Kawasaki robots may fail if the robot controllers have been connected in RTR controller’s control panel previously. To use Live Connect again, the /tmp/krnx folder and its contents needs to be manually removed. The location of the /tmp/krnx folder is under /var/lib/rtr_appliance_app

Open

32731

[Limitation] Stateful targets and frame are not supported. Put in another way, any objects with any descendants such as targets and frames cannot be made stateful

Open

33990

[TODO: Update with final state of the development]Reparenting a frame that is mated to an object can cause inconsistency with mates

Open

[Remove] Unable to zoom projects that contains entities >10km from from origin (or from other entities)

Open

Reparenting a frame that is mated to an object can cause inconsistency with mates

Open

34623

Numerical calculation errors cause collision detection when a tool and link are in close proximity.

Fixed

31267

[Limitation] RPC only works properly with US-EN locale while no warning given in RPC when the wrong locale is selected. In many countries such as Germany, the decimal separator is a comma, this causes errors in RPC. Users must change the locale when working with RapidPlan.
