[TODO: Describe the major themes of the release here]

...

Internal Note:

  1. Better to prioritize items with users/AEs
    An improvement seems to be a small change, but the impact on users can be bigger than it looks.
    - Example: Loading a project can now be cancelled

[TODO: Reorder the items based on the importance from user perspective]

✅ 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.

...

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

...

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

...

...

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

...

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.

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

Existing project clearance values are used for calculating robot-robot interferences as “cautions,” and near-miss values are defined in the report dialog for "warnings."

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.

1.2. Other Improvements

  • Joint Numbering Starting from One for Enhanced User Clarity: The joint numbering now starts from one instead of zero. Previously, users had to type in joint number 6 to refer to the additional external axis joint index 7, which was confusing. This update aligns the numbering with common expectations.

[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

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

Open

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

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

[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

[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)

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.
