Hi,
In the attached model, I have 3 stations with a robot connected to it. In the robot dialog option, I have used "Manipulation tool" and used planner time by sampling the flow item.
I have defined 2 custom paths in the Robot tab, and assigned the row data based on movements using planner time. After running the model, the robot is repeating the same path twice one without flowitem and again one with flowitem. This is happening for both custom paths.
Can you tell me what is wrong in my model?
For each transport the robot does two movements; one to reach the item's location and one to reach the unload location. For both of those it will choose the motion path whose final position is closest to the destination, which in this case is the same for both movements.
Apart from the motion path that moves the item, you also have to define paths that end at the pickup locations.
For more control you can specify which path follows a previous motion. For example, after the robot moves to the end of Processor1, the next path will always be the one that moves from Processor1 to Processor2.
