Abstract

A method and system is disclosed for estimating a speed of a robot tool center point at a specified time. The method includes the step of receiving an input signal representing the specified time for which the speed estimate is desired. The method also includes the step of processing individual motion segment data to create a blended Cartesian velocity vector. The individual motion segment data represents at least one robot motion segment. The method finally includes the step of transmitting an output signal based on a scalar magnitude of the blended Cartesian velocity vector. The output signal represents the speed of the robot Tool Center Point at the specified time.
