Abstract

Example systems and methods are disclosed for determining work offset data for a robot m a work environment. A robot operating in a work environment may receive an indication to determine a work offset. The work offset may describe the location and angular orientation of a working plane of the work environment relative to a base plane of the robot. In response to the indication, the robot may identify the working plane. The robot may be controlled to contact one or more points of the working plane. The robot may determine respective point locations of the contacted points relative to the baseplane based on the respective positions of the robot at respective times of contact. The robot may determine the location and angular orientation of the working plane relative to the base plane basedon the determined respective point locations of the contacted points.

Description

Background technique [0001] Robotic systems can be used in applications involving material handling, welding, assembly and distribution, among others. Over time, the way these robotic systems operate has become smarter, more efficient, and more intuitive. As robotic systems become more prevalent in many aspects of modern life, the need for robotic systems that can operate alongside and interact with humans has become apparent. As a result, the need for such robotic systems has helped to create innovative fields in actuators, sensing technologies, controllers, and component design and assembly. Contents of the invention [0002] Example systems and methods may provide work offset data for determining a robot in a work environment. A work offset may describe the position and angular orientation of the work plane of the work environment relative to the robot's reference plane. The robot can initiate the work offset determination method by identifying the work plane. The wor...
