Internal Collision Detection
- Occurs when the robot predicts that it will collide with itself.
- If the robot extends beyond the preset Workspace limits, it will stop by itself.
The setup for the surrounding environment area is done in the Setup screen.
- Users can also set a virtual box for collision detection. This will cause the robot
to stop itself if either the virtual box is expected to collide with itself or it goes out
of the workspace. The virtual box is configured in the Setup-Tool
The image below shows a situation where the user caused the robot to crash into
itself. Just before colliding into itself, the robot will stop, prompting the UI to display
a warning in red.
