Robot Overview   

The robot is a special transport that lifts flowitems from their starting locations and places them at their ending locations. Generally, the robot's base does not move. Instead, 6 joints rotate to move the flowitems.

Details

The robot is a sub-class of the TaskExecuter. It implements offset travel by rotating its joints. Note that by default, the x/y/z location of the robot does not change at all when it does offset travel. If the destination location is further away than the robot's maximum arm extension, then the robot will only extend its arm up to its maximum extension. It does not use the standard TaskExecuter maximum speed, acceleration and deceleration values.

The robot by default does not connect itself to a navigator, which means that it does not execute travel tasks unless you explicitly connect it to a network.

States

The robot follows TaskExecuter states.
