Abstract

Methods for producing a robot program for a substantially-symmetric product and corresponding systems and computer-readable mediums. A method includes receiving a first-side robot program. The first-side robot program is a robot program for processing a first side of the substantially-symmetric product. The method includes identifying one or more resources of the first-side robot program by and producing corresponding mirrored resources in a second-side robot program. The method includes identifying one or more robots for the first-side robot program and producing corresponding mirrored robots in the second-side robot program. The method includes processing machine data files of the first-side robot program and updating logic block signal connections from the first-side robot program to the second-side robot program. The method includes replacing references to objects in the second-side robot program and assigning tool mounts to the second-side robot program. The method includes producing and storing the second-side robot program.
