Singularity Prevention

Description

A singularity is a pose that restricts the motion and the ability to position the robot.

The robot arm can stop moving or have very sudden and fast movements if it approaches a singularity. As the robot arm approaches a singularity position, resistance increases making it feel heavy to position.

Singularity can cause injury to a person within reach of motion of the robot arm, end effector and workpiece.

  • Avoid programming motions that result in any poses that can cause a singularity.
