Simple, intuitive process

ABB’s Automatic Path Planning transforms robot motion programming from a complex task into a simple, intuitive process. With just a few clicks, users can generate optimized paths that outperform manually programmed motions—even those by seasoned experts. This innovation leverages real-time vision input and embedded control systems to ensure collision-free, energy-efficient movement. Whether offline in RobotStudio® or online in RobotWare, the solution enhances productivity and reliability across dynamic environment 

RobotStudio’s Automatic Path Planning offline

Offline robotic programming

RobotStudio® gives you access to offline programming, without the need to shut down production. The Automatic Path Planning feature allows you to automate the path planning process, enabling you to create optimized collision-free paths in crowded robot cell environments. 

What you can do with RobotStudio’s Automatic Path Planning:

• A single click creates collision-free paths, producing motions that outperform those developed by robotic experts. 

• Create shorter cycle-time-optimized paths that consume significantly less energy

• Create smoother paths that reduce stress on robot mechanics and that extend the lifetime of the robot

RobotWare’s Automatic Path Planning online

Online, real-time, collision-free paths  

RobotWare’s Automatic Path Planning online continuously receives input from the vision system and other sensors to autonomously generate real-time, collision-free paths around static and dynamic obstacles. This dramatically increases robot autonomy and can reduce cycle times by up to 50% — all without human intervention. Designed for unstructured environments, like item picking, this software empowers robots to plan and execute optimal paths with precision and speed. 

Powered by World-Class Motion Control — TrueMove and QuickMove — Automatic Path Planning ensures maximum productivity in a dynamic environment. What truly sets it apart is the seamless integration of high-level path planning directly into the robot’s control system, enabling more intelligent and faster decisions.  

What you can do with RobotWare’s Automatic Path Planning: 

• Automatically creates robot programs based on real-time input.
• Detects obstacles and generate a new optimal path every cycle.
• Create shorter cycle-time-optimized paths that consume significantly less energy.
• Create smoother paths that reduce stress on robot mechanics and that extend the lifetime of the robot.

How we deliver: Available as a software package, which can run on the integrator’s/partner’s/customer’s Windows or Linux device.
