Hi Johannes,

with our KR 10 we want to follow a curve that we designed in Grasshopper. Now we are wondering how we can perfectly control the speed of the end effector - especially at sections where the curve has very small radiuses. Is the speed actually handled via the Robot or via PRC?

Hey there,
we have a surface with a curve and want the robot to follow this surface. How can we make sure that the robot tool face is parallel to the plane at all times?

Hi there,
we will get our first Robot soon, it's a KR10 R1100. Right after delivery we will have to start working with it and we can't waste much time on the set-up. For a presentation we want to program it in a way that it moves along a spline in a smooth way.
We have Rhino, Grasshopper and the KUKA|PRC. Our main question is: What can we do with the robot and those three software components? Theoretically everything?
Is it enough to start working right away and to fulfill our desired task? Or is any other software (from KUKA or other sources) like mxAutomation needed?
If we don't use interfaces like mxAutomation or Ethernet XML, how do we communicate with the robot? Is there any technical documentation available?
Could you also give us some advice on the first steps of how to set up the robot / connect the robot and get it ready to work (from the hardware and software side)? We would like to understand as much as we can in the forefront of getting the robot.
Thank you so much!
