directMove – Show the robot the way

Using the inertial sensors of the 6D Inertial Measurement Unit

(6D IMU), the KeTop T10 directMove detects its position and

direction in the three-dimensional space. The operator can

therefore easily specify the required movement or rotation by

indicating in the direction of motion and then operating a small

joystick – regardless of his/her position relative to the robot.

This means that no in-depth knowledge of coordinate systems

is required. The motion speed can be changed via the intensi

ty of the joystick movements. This means that individual path

points can be set and finely adjusted using the KeTop T10 di

rectMove. If required, standard operating units and screen de

vices such as notebooks can also be used for programming.

New opportunities

Even companies without the relevant experts on hand, who may

previously have dispensed with robots in production process,

can now feel confident in acquiring such systems. Thanks to the

KeTop T10 directMove the teach-in of the kinematics is possib

le with minimal time required for training and familiarisation. For

example, in service robotics where heavy loads are moved and

complex coordinate systems are built upon each other, a teach

in is tricky to implement. But the KeTop T10 directMove offers a

very noticeable increase in ease of operation.
