Always online
Robotino® View is the interactive, graphical programming and learning environment for Robotino®. It communicates directly with the robot system via wireless LAN, with no need for code compiling or downloading to the controller. You can send signals directly to the motor controller, display, scale and evaluate sensor values, or have a live camera image displayed and further processed. Robotino® thus becomes an online experimentation field, e.g. for control technology.
Intuitive programming*
Robotino® View is a visual programming language. Sequences and links are formed by wiring functional modules. The program corresponds to your idea of robot behaviour and is created "intuitively". This means that parallel processes (multi-tasking) can also be defined and are easy to program.
First steps with Robotino® SIM Demo
The integrated 3D simulation simulates the moving behaviour, the distance sensors and the camera in a predefined working environment. This enables you to test your first Robotino® View programs in the simulation before using them on the real Robotino®.
Robotino® View basic principles
The application window
The workspace is divided into two areas:
- Display of the created functional block or flow diagrams. The current input and output values of the functional blocks can be displayed as an option.
- Display of the parameterisation/internal data of the status units, such as, for example, the live camera image, or the PID parameters for the motor regulation, which can be changed online.
- Printout of the graphical program as a PDF document
The library categories
- Logic contains all the major logical linking operations
- Mathematics contains the basic mathematical operations
- Vector calculation with conversion in Cartesian or polar coordinates
- Generators contains the basic functions for signal generation
- Filters for smoothing values
- Robotino® hardware contains all the components of the robot system, such as the motor controller, camera, distance sensors, protection strip, power supply, odometry, grippers, power output, rotary encoder input.
- Input devices for controlling using a joystick or via a virtual operating panel
- Sequence control contains basic functions for creating a sequencing program
- Communication: write global variables/data to or read from a file, OPC client for communication with external control systems
