Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a robotic system. The system may include a robot configured to receive an initial constrained approach for performing a robot task. The system may further include a graphical user interface in communication with the robot. The graphical user interface may be configured to allow a user to interact with the robot to determine an allowable range of robot poses associated with the robot task. The allowable range of robot poses may include fewer constraints than the initial constrained approach. The allowable range of poses may be based upon, at least in part, one or more degrees of symmetry associated with a workpiece associated with the robot task or an end effector associated with the robot. The system may also include a processor configured to communicate the allowable range of robot poses to the robot.
