RobFlow 5.5

Features

Advanced Palletizing Node V2

Introducing the Advanced Palletizing Node, a newly developed intuitive interface for quickly deploying complex palletizing applications. Following a step-by-step guide, users can configure:

• Box dimensions
• Pallet dimensions
• Grasping poses
• Multiple layouts
• Various approach trajectories

RobVision V1

RobVision is our AI-based computer vision solution that enables the Robot to recognize, understand, and act within its working environment, making the Robot more flexible and letting him act in non-structured environments. This allows the Robot to pick objects without the need to manually train individual movement sequences. The AI system recognizes the object and autonomously calculates the gripping position. The user's interaction with RobVision can be divided into three steps:

1. Providing the CAD file Through RobCo's cloud platform, RobCo.Studio, users can easily upload the CAD files and automatically initiate the training process.
2. Model & Camera Configuration in RobFlow On our no-code platform, RobFlow, there is a new RobVision page where the user can calibrate the camera, select different models for objects, and test the model's performance.
3. Integrating the RobVision solution in the Flow Editor in RobFlow In the Flow Editor, where the Robot's workflow is configured through various Nodes, the user has access to two new Nodes (Vision Trigger & Vision Execution Node). In the Trigger Node, a photo is taken, processed, and the object's position is calculated. In the Execution Node, the gripping operation is performed.

Run Flow but move Robot only from a specific Node on

Start Robot movement from any specific Node by activating Testing Mode, selecting the desired Node, and clicking "Run Flow and skip movement until this Node is executed."

Note: Logic settings remain active; only movement Nodes, setOutput, and setModBusTCP Nodes are skipped to avoid unintended actions.

Robot Configuration check

Enable "Robot Configuration Check" in the Change Robot State menu to be notified if Robot configurations change from a saved state.

Restore Flows & Subflows backup

Quickly revert unintentional changes by selecting "Restore Flow Backup" in the Flow selection menu.

Syncing Variables to RobCo Studio

Display real-time RobFlow Variable values, such as processed part counts or pallet status, directly in RobCo Studio. Enable "Sync to RobCo Studio" in the Variable Editor to view updates every 10 minutes in the RobFlow Variables Table within Fleet Management.

Miscellaneous

• Move to target for Relative Movements: Test the Relative Movement with the Move to Target Button. The Robot will execute the relative movement from its current position
• Select Pose Variable in relative movement Nodes: You are now able to select a Pose Variable in the relative movement Node
• Testing Mode Improvements: when cycling through active Nodes and a Node is in a Subflow, center the Node within the Subflow panel
• Selecting current Robot Position as Variables: Magic Variables for current Cartesian Pose and current Joint Pose to use in setVariable Node and Expression Fields

Fixed

• Propagate Variable name changes: When renaming a Variable within a Flow, all instances of that Variable in Expression fields must update automatically
• Editing input fields in Subflow Editor: Allow editing input fields in the change Robot state drawer while the Subflow Editor Popup is open
• Text in Generic Button Widget is now always centered
• Robot pauses if frontend loses connection in debug or "move back to trajectory" mode
• Evaluate Expression fields with newline characters correctly
• Change global speed in paused state
• Fixed pause/resume bugs
• Modbus fixes

Changed

• Illuminate Tool Switch if its active on the jogging pop-up window
• The Cartesian Pose Variable Expression now has three separate fields for the three rotational dimensions
• Render generic button label as HTML to enable custom formatting
• Enhanced state conflict message
