Abstract

See full text

Methods for saving energy and reducing cycle time of a complex operation by using optimal robotic joint configurations. A method includes receiving inputs including the complex operation, generating a plurality of joint configurations of a simulated robot for each one of a plurality of task locations based on the inputs of the complex operation, calculating an edge rating for each of a plurality of robotic movements, wherein a robotic movement accounts for movement between joint configurations of consecutive task locations, calculating a plurality of candidate ratings for each of a plurality of candidate configuration paths, wherein a candidate rating is a summation of edge ratings of robotic movements for a candidate configuration path, determining an optimal configuration path based the candidate configuration path with an optimal rating, wherein the optimal rating is determined by the lowest candidate rating, and return the optimal configuration path.
