Workflow Configuration
You can build a workflow, i.e. a robot motion control program in the form of a flowchart, in the Workflow tab.
Configure the Default Workflow
You can modify the default workflow to plan a feasible robot motion path for picking.

Global Configuration
-
Tool to Be Set is a mandatory parameter that specifies the end tool used in the current project.
Click the Step and click
in the Step Parameters panel to select the corresponding tool configured in the Project Resources panel. -
You can enable the options below and configure the parameters according to the actual requirements.
This option enables to loop the current workflow until all received vision results are used for the path planning.
This option is used to avoid attempting repeatedly on the same pick point after a picking attempt fails.
This option is used for depalletizing scenarios.
-
-
Enter-bin point
This Step sets a waypoint where the robot reaches before it approaches the workobject.
Please refer to Fixed-Point Move for setup instructions and parameter description.
-
Approach point
This Step sets a waypoint above the workobject when the robot approaches the workobject.
Please refer to Relative Move for setup instructions and parameter description.
-
Vision Point
This Step specifies the vision point.
Please refer to Vision Move for setup instructions and parameter description.
-
Retreat point
This Step sets a waypoint above the workobject when the robot leaves the workobject.
Please refer to Relative Move for setup instructions and parameter description.
-
Exit-bin point
This Step sets a waypoint where the robot reaches after it leaves the workobject.
Please refer to Fixed-Point Move for setup instructions and parameter description.
Add or Delete Steps in the Workflow
If the above waypoints cannot meet the actual requirement, you can add waypoints by adding “Fixed-Point Move” or “Relative Move” Steps to the workflow.

Add a New Workflow
The same resources can be used in different workflows which result in different planned paths.
In scenarios where the project involves different workobjects or bins, you may need to add multiple workflows and change the workflow by switching the parameter recipe.
