Video Friday: ABB Fanta Can Challenge
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 13 of February , 2009 at 12:36 am
We’ve seen how scarily fast and precise ABB robots can be, but this is pretty wild… ABB’s robot control software is able to compensate for the relative motion of both robots, maintaining movement paths without a reduction in speed. In some ways, the previous demo was more impressive since the software was forced to adapt dynamically to the random positioning of objects, but still, it’s videos like these that remind me why robots are most definitely the future.

Pretty cool. They are probably just transmiting the TCP of the one robot and adjust the frame for the second. This isn’t that new though, I’ve programmed Motomans that weld parts on a trunion while it’s rotating and sync with each other at the same time.

xamox, if that’s the case they must be coordinating a few steps ahead, that way the two aren’t seeking a solution mid-move.
