Abstract

A method for determining values influencing movement of a robot is disclosed. The method includes the following steps: a) provision of a task to be performed by the robot and a worker; b) provision of a layout of a workstation; c) provision of tool data; d) determination of respective axial movement patterns of the robot on the basis of steps a) to c); e) provision of a worker workspace; f) determination of critical path points of the robot, where a specified movement speed is exceeded by the robot and/or a specified mass of an element to be moved by the robot is exceeded, on the basis of the axial movement patterns and the workspace; g) simulation of respective collisions at the critical path points by a second robot; and h) determination of permissible operating speeds of the robot for each critical path point on the basis of the simulated collisions.
