Abstract

The article presents an algorithm for constructing a tool path for a collaborative robot. This topic is significant due to the increasing popularity and prevalence of collaborative robots, alongside the lack of software for rapid path generation based on CAD models. Since the dynamics and control of a collaborative robot significantly differ from industrial robots and CNC machines, it is necessary to apply an approach that considers the limitations of the cobot. Beyond the tool path construction algorithm itself, the article presents the results of experiments carried out on an actual robot using a programmed CAM processor.
