Tools and Workobjects

You can configure end effectors and work objects in the Tools and Workobjects panel.


End effectors are usually connected to the end of robot arms. They act as hands of the robot to interact with the surroundings.


Workobjects refer to objects to be picked. Each workobject has a corresponding pose. Mech-Viz computes the pose of end effector according to workobject poses, and therefore guides the robot to pick.


Check the section below to learn about rotational symmetry and picking relaxation.


Click the Tools and Workobjects tab in the lower right corner of the interface to open the panel. ② is where you can configure the end effector and ③ is where you can configure the workobjects to be picked.

Hint

If you cannot see the Tools and Workobjects tab in the interface, please go to View and check the box before Tools and Workobjects.
