Abstract:
As collaborative robots rise in popularity in industrial and domestic environments, TECHMAN Robot developed the TMRobot series, a wide variety of smart, safe, and straightforward collaborative robots. This paper presents the TMRobot Series Toolbox, which contains functions and methods to interface with the TMRobot series cobots from an external device using MATLAB. By using these, the users have access to connection, kinematic, point motion, set, get, and simulation functionalities which run on a remote computer connected to the TMRobot controller via TCP/IP protocols. The toolbox is then validated with some application examples.
