Abstract :
An algorithm for bending robots is presented in this paper. The algorithm makes use of the features of bending process to solve three problems: procedure generating, targets calculating and obstacle avoidance. It generates procedure with two state machines and a knowledge library, calculates targets with heuristic rules, and avoids obstacles in joint space. The algorithm has been applied to manufacture and improves the work efficiency of programming a bending robot.
