This article is written for Pally for Doosan cobot

With the Pally you create the complete waypoints in MyRobot.Cloud instead of on the cobot.

Creating the waypoints is done by creating Pally Programs using pattern generated in MyRobot.cloud and the backup of the installation/calibration.

MyRobot.Cloud / Waypoints Generation

Sign in or sign up to MyRobot.Cloud

With your user and organization set up. Create a customer organization.

Upload Calibration / Installed Robot

After activating the license you are ready for generating the Pally programs.

Variable

Description

Above pickup

Distance from pickup to above pickup position.

Box free height

Distance from pickup to box free position.

Box free auto

Box free height should not be smaller than the box height.

Approach

Approach distance

Approach auto

Approach distance can be recalculated for each box.

High approach boost

High approach boost. Only in effect when placing boxes below conveyor height.

Floating value: [0 → 1]

Pallet edge

Pallet lip. Set to 0 if none.

Smart Exit

Area to search for a smart exit waypoint.

min x - Lower X limit

max x - Upper X limit

min y - Lower Y limit

max y - Upper Y limit

Gripper

Variable

Description

Gripper rotation

The value can be either None, Two way or Four way. Representing the different ways a robot can pick the box.

None: forward (the gripper direction at the calibrated pick position)

2-Way: forward and backward

4-Way: forward, backward, left, right

Max grip

Currently not in use.

Min grip quality

The minimum grip quality for calculating number of boxes to pick relative to gripper size.

When the estimated grip quality drops below the minimum threshold, the program can decide to pick fewer boxes, use another gripper rotation at pickup, or even reduce the maximum allowed acceleration to guarantee box transport stability between the pick and drop position.

Floating value from 0 and up.

Foam height

Gripper foam (suction cup) squeezing length in meters. Default value 0.02.

Length coverage

Minimum required fraction of the total  length of each box covered by the gripper in multi-pick

Grip rotation cost

Additional cost of each specific gripper rotation 

(0, 180, -90, +90)

Default: [0, 30, 10, 10]

Align to edges

Gripper-to-box edge alignment.

Default: True

Setting the value to False can be relevant for some custom grippers e.g. pinch grippers. Setting the value to False may cause accidental multipick of small boxes with large vacuum gripper.

Generate Pally Programs

From the customer organization’s dashboard go to Pally programs on the left meny.
