Altering An Initially Predetermined Robot Path
First Claim
1. A method for altering an initially predetermined path of a robot arrangement including at least one robot and a controller in communication with the at least one robot, the method comprising:
- selecting by the controller a portion of the initially predetermined path;
altering by the controller the selected portion of the path;
predetermining an altered path based on the altered portion of the path;
determining a deviation between the initially predetermined and the altered path; and
triggering a reaction if the deviation fulfills a predetermined condition for a reaction.

Abstract
A method for altering an initially predetermined path of a robot arrangement having at least one robot includes selecting a portion of the initially predetermined path, altering the selected portion of the path, and predetermining an altered path based on the altered portion of the path. A deviation between the initially predetermined path and the altered path is determined, and a reaction is triggered if the deviation fulfills a predetermined condition for a reaction. In another aspect, a computer programming product, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to select a portion of the initially predetermined path, alter the selected portion of the path, predetermine an altered path based on the altered portion of the path, determine a deviation between the initially predetermined and the altered path, and trigger a reaction if the deviation fulfills a predetermined condition for a reaction.

21. A system for altering an initially predetermined path of a robot arrangement including at least one robot, the system comprising:
-
means for selecting a portion of the initially predetermined path; means for altering the selected portion; means for predetermining an altered path based on the altered portion; means for determining a deviation between the initially predetermined path and the altered path; and means for triggering a reaction if the deviation fulfills a predetermined condition for a reaction. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
