Developed by Kineo Computer Aided Motion (Labege Cedex, France), Kineo Path Planner software supports CAD automatic motion planning. It allows users to plan the optimal path of articulated robots or nonarticulated (mechanical assembly) systems in a 3-D environment. The software reportedly ensures a continuous, collision-free assembly or extraction path.
Because the package can be integrated into existing design tools, assembly, disassembly, maintenance, and part-interchangeability constraints for the automobile and aeronautics sectors are taken into account from the product-design stage. It can be used without special parameters, allowing users to save the results of a calculation.
When reviewing a digital model, especially for aspects such as accessibility, ergonomics, manufacturing robotics, and maintainability, the software takes into account the different geometric (collision avoidance) and kinematics-related (the movement of a robot, for example) constraints. It uses the latest probability-based motion-planning technology. It automatically finds solutions with minimal calculation time, even for systems with various degrees of freedom in highly cluttered environments.
Kineo Path Planner performs a detailed analysis of the paths obtained so design information can be exchanged with a view to putting forward relevant design modifications. Minimum configuration required is a Pentium 4, 1 GB RAM, OpenGL card, and 2000/XP. Circle 202
