This project simulates a robotic pick-and-place operation in a collaborative workspace using ABB RobotStudio. An industrial robot equipped with a smart gripper transfers six 4×4×4 cm cubes from a linear layout on a primary table to a 3×2 grid on a secondary table.
The routine is organized around predefined target configurations (pick, pre-pick, place, pre-place, home, intermediate) to ensure repeatable and safe motions. Grasp and release are driven via digital I/O and smart components (sensors, attacher/detacher, logic flip-flops), realistically emulating the gripper’s behavior. A homing sequence and an inverse routine are included to reset the scene.
Human–robot collaboration is enabled through Speed and Separation Monitoring (SSM): volumetric sensors define yellow and red zones, causing the robot to slow to 0.2 m/s or stop, respectively. Under ideal, uninterrupted conditions, the full cycle completes in under 60 seconds, while SSM ensures safe interaction.
