Abstract
Method for determining inspection poses for a part to be inspected and associated determination device. The present invention relates to a method for determining inspection poses for a part to be inspected, comprising the following steps: - provision (110) of a digital model of the part to be inspected; - determination (120) on an outer surface of the digital model of a plurality of patches, each patch having an area on said outer surface; - determination (130) of patches inaccessible by an inspection device among the set of patches determined; - filtering (140) of the set of patches to remove the inaccessible patches; - determination (160) of a path for a robotic arm to reach, by means of the inspection device, the inspection points of the filtered set of patches; - transformation (170) of the path and the inspection points into a plurality of inspection instructions for the robotic arm.Figure for the abbreviation: Figure 3.
