Virtual Reality – Flat tabbed menues
RobotStudio 2020 replaces the Virtual Reality functions that were displayed on a cube attached to the left hand controller with flat menus for easy navigation and better usability. Integrated tips introduce the functionality of each button.
From the five tabs on the vertical bar you will reach the corresponding page.
All the commands from the four sides of the menu cube in RobotStudio 2019.5 are organized under the five tabs Home, Edit, Manipulate, Path and Settings.
Home tab: Navigation options and simulation.
Edit tab: Add annotations like text markups and arrows.
Manipulate tab: Allow objects being
grabbed with your hand an limit robot axis while jogging.
Path tab: Add, remove and edit target and move instructions.
Settings tab: Show or hide Tips and start the tutorial again.
Virtual Reality - Improved navigation experience
The new Drag move navigation mode allows you to drag and rotate yourself around in the 3D environment by pressing both the left and right grip buttons on the hand controllers.
The teleportation is now initiated by pressing the the left grip button to show the teleport beam and then the left trigger to confirm the movement.
Using the left joystick/trackpad, you can now move yourself step by step forward, backwards and rotate to the left and right. Enable Walk mode to prevent walking through objects and allow climbing stairs or other objects with a height similar to the steps of a stair.
Virtual Reality – Support for more headsets and hand controllers
Support has been added for the following virtual reality headsets and hand controllers:
- Valve Index
- Samsung HMD Odyssey (Windows Mixed Reality)
- HTC VIVE Cosmos
All hand controllers are visualized with the corresponding 3D model in the virtual reality environment.
Virtual Reality – Tutorial
The first time you start a Virtual Reality session a tutorial gets started as a series of simple instructions. The tutorial can be started again from the Settings tab.
Visualization of simulated stop positions
The final stop positions of TCP when a category 0 stop occurs can be
visualized. At
regular intervals along the path, programmed TCP positions are connected to the
corresponding TCP stop positions using straight lines.
Late changes
Minimal installation
The minimal installation option has been removed because of its low
usage.
Corrections
| PDD | |
|---|---|
| 9417 | SetBrush Event coordinates are not updated when workobjects are changed which the function adjust robtarget In the special case
when the two workobjects have the same orientation has been fixed. |
| 11035 | The screen tip of Save Station as viewer stated any recorded simulation will be included The screen tip has been changed to ’Packages
the station for viewing on computers that do not have RobotStudio installed’. |
| 11485 | Gearbox Heat Prediction Add-In – clarification in Operating Manual about ‘Use Temperature from Controller(s)’ The Operating Manual has been updated to state from which system
parameters the controller temperature is retrieved: “Select Use temperature from controller(s) to reset the the
ambient temperature and read the temperature from the robot configuration as
specified in the parameter Motion->SIS Parameter ->
r1_sis_param->Robot temperature.” |
| 11649 | Error when adding more users than allowed in the RobotWare User Authentication System (UAS) is wrong in the Operation Manual The Operating Manual has been updated to state
the maximum number of users, 100 for RobotWare 6, and 123 for RobotWare 7. |
| 11915 | IRBT6004 19m double CAD models and RobotStudio library are different The lengths of IRBT6004 variants has been
adjusted so that the correspond tot the actual model. Before the 19m variant
was 20m long for example. |
| 11973 | Virtual Single Arm YuMi 14050 - Manipulator IO device is missing The following features has been added to the system template: abb.robotics.robotcontrol.options.calhall abb.robotics.robotcontrol.options.contact_l |
| 12109 | Not able to open RobotStudio .exe file. Shows an error message when try to open The problem occurred when names of libraries in
the station contained certain characters. It has been corrected. |
| 12153 | RobotStudio hangs when transferring file to OmniCore This problem could happen when RobotStudio was
gathering information about a network share from Windows with slow respone.
This has now been corrected so that RobotStudio will not hang in the situation. |
| 12164 | Crash in Robotstudio meeting when the station contains certain move instructions The problem occurred when the RobotStudio
instance on the client side did not have the same set of move instruction
templates as on the host side, and has been corrected. |
| 12178 | Online Monitor shows IRB360 upside down The IRB360 is modeled with its base frame
rotated 180° around X and the values for base frame are usually left at its
defaults 0,0,0 translation and no rotation. The Online monitor has been updated
to take account for this and rotate the task frame around X for the imported
model. The result is that the IRB360 model does not appear upside down. |
| 12192 | Not possible to add breakpoint with left mouse click in RAPID editor This is a regression. It was possible to toggle breakpoints using the mouse instead of pressing F9 in a previous version, and it is now possible again. |
| 12195 | External axis values not stored in target when inserting instruction in VR External axis values are now stored in the new
target. The same configuration as in the previous target with configuration, if
any, is assigned to the new target. |
| 12199 | GLTF export is missing cables, physics objects and visibility state The following improvements has been made: Each physics cable segement is exported as a capsule. Objects can be shown or hidden. |
| 12202 | Problem with Solidworks import on Windows 10 machines The ACIS geometry engine has been updated to a
new version where the problem is corrected. |
| 12240 | Not possible to use wildcards Jobs when searching for RAPID This is a regression. It was possible to use
wildcards in a previous version, and its now possible again. |
| 12262 | Error create Virtual System with duplicate products in its manifest The problem was caused by duplicate
entries in the controller.rsf file. RobotStudio now ignores duplicates. |
| 12267 | Wrong dimension after exporting layout as .dxf and importing it again The scale is set to meter. |
| 12272 | Cad Convertor Issue - Import STEP file on Turkish Windows This problem has been corrected by an upgrade of
the ACIS geometry engine. |
| 12278 | IRB5350 is attached at the wrong position on its rail The attachement position has been corrected. |
| 12298 | RS/Visual SafeMove doesn't read the current position of the 7th axis as Sync position, if SafeMove 1 is used. The 7th axis is now read. |
| 12315 | Wrong work area for IRB5510 in Robotstudio Work envelope updated. |
| 12349 | Exception when opening Event Log: Cannot parse input: ms Certain event log messages were the null
termination was not in the end of the string caused this exception. The problem
has been corrected. |
| 12367 | ContactL doesn't appear ContactL and Leadthrough options added to YuMi system
template. |
| 12514 | Exception when linear jogging Stand Alone Controller The problem has been corrected. |
