Abstract

Example systems and methods may allow for use of a generic robot trajectory format to control a robotic process within a workcell. One example method includes receiving a digital representation of at least one digital robot actor, including at least one robot definition corresponding to the at least one digital robot actor and at least one sequence of robot operations for the at least one digital robot actor, determining a mapping between the at least one digital robot actor and at least one corresponding physical robot actor within a physical workcell, generating at least one robot-language-specific sequence of executable instructions for the at least one physical robot actor, and transmitting the at least one robot-language specific sequence of executable instructions to the at least one physical robot actor to execute in order to perform the at least sequence of robot operations within the physical workcell.
