Run a Real Robot
After building and debugging the vision and picking projects, if the simulation runs without errors, the real robot can be operated to perform the picking task under visual guidance.

Run a Real Robot in the Master-Control Communication Mode
Please follow these steps to run a real robot under the master-control communication mode.
-
Connect to the Robot Properly
Before you use Mech-Viz to guide a real robot to move, please ensure that the Master-Control Robot is established successfully, or else the robot cannot be moved.
-
Reduce the Robot Speed
Adjust the Vel. and Acc. in the Mech-Viz toolbar to 5%
. -
Click Run in the Mech-Viz toolbar, and then the robot will follow the planned path to move.
-
Click Stop in the Mech-Viz toolbar to stop the project.
Run a Real Robot under the Standard Interface Communication
Please follow these steps to run a real robot under the standard Interface communication mode.
| Under the standard interface communication mode, the robot sends standard interface commands to the vision system from external devices (such as the robot, PLC, or host computer), and the vision system returns the corresponding data upon receiving the commands. So the running of a real robot requires operation on the robot side. |
-
Please ensure that the standard interface communication has been set up on the robot side and the program of robot picking has been loaded. For detailed instruction, please refer to Build the Picking Workflow in the Standard Interface Communication Mode.
-
Reduce the velocity and acceleration of robots on the robot side. For detailed instructions, please refer to operation manuals of the robot.
-
Run the robot picking program on the robot side. The robot picking program will run the Mech-Viz project as needed to obtain the planned path, or run the Mech-Vision project to obtain the vision results or the planned path.
If an error occurs when running a real robot, you can locate the reason with the assistance of Plan History and Log.
