The Auto solve feature is designed to solve kinematic errors and collision issues for operations automatically, without manual intervention. Auto solve works by trying different operations settings, including axis orientationconfiguration, optimization, and rotary settings, to achieve an error-free solution. In cases where all issues cannot be solved automatically, it still corrects as many as errors as it can, reducing manual work.

Overview

When Auto solve is run, Robotmaster will calculate operations and then attempt to solve fix the following types of issues in a program:

  • Singularity

  • Joint limit

  • Overtravel

  • Wrist flip

  • Out of reach

  • Collisions within the operation

  • Interferences within the operation

...

  • Robot-to-robot collisions

  • Robot-to-robot interferences

  • Connections between operations, including transitions

  • Connections between home points and operations

When Auto solve is run, it first calculates any uncalculated operations. If kinematic errors or collisions exist, it uses the established axis calculation method, Spherical interpolation or Profile tracking, and then attempts to solve by adjusting operation settings including tool orientation, optimization plan, and wrist configuration.

For devices with an external rotary axis (such as a turntable), Auto solve will also attempt different rotary settings and angles to solve errors. This applies to external rotary axes with an “Index only” type.

Navigation

...

Open or create a new part programming session.

...

Ensure a device is loaded.

...

With a device loaded, Auto solve is accessible at the top of the Operations panel on the device side of Robotmaster.

...

Run Auto solve

Running Auto solve first calculates and then attempts to solve the focused item in the device side Operations panel.

...

  1. On the device side, make sure that the focus is on all programs. Select the crosshairs ( image-20241211-004723.pngImage Added ) at the cell level if needed.

  2. Click Auto solve.

The results of the Auto solve are displayed at the bottom left of the screen.

...

If your session has multiple programs, you can use device focus modes to calculate operations in a specific program only.

  1. Select the crosshairs ( image-20241211-004729.pngImage Added ) next to the program you want to solve.

Alternatively, you can use the program Auto solve button for a specific program.

...

For multi-robot devices, you can set the focus mode to a specific robot to solve only operations for that robot.

  1. Select the crosshairs ( image-20241211-004734.pngImage Added ) next to the robot you want to solve.
