Dobot CR10 Hardware User Guide Figure 2.10 Factory posture Product Features Motion Function The motion trajectory consists of a series of interpolated motions since the interpolated motion is the basic motion type. According to the different trajectories, motion functions are classified as joint interpolated motion, linearly interpolated motion, circular interpolated motion and continuous path.

Dobot CR10 Hardware User Guide Figure 2.12 Move mode Jump: The trajectory looks like a door. From point A to point B, the robot will move in the Move mode Move up to the lifting height (StartHeight is a relative height).
Page 23
Dobot CR10 Hardware User Guide Figure 2.14 Jump mode (1) If the heights of point A and point B are the same with zLimit, the trajectory is shown in Figure 2.15. Figure 2.15 Jump mode (2) 2.11.1.3 ARC (Circular Interpolated Motion) The trajectory is an arc, which is determined by three points (the current point, any point and the end point on the arc), as shown in Figure 2.16.
Dobot CR10 Hardware User Guide Figure 2.17 Circle trajectory Coordinate System This topic describes the coordinate systems for different types of robots, which are divided into Joint coordinate system, Base coordinate system, User coordinate system, and Tool coordinate system. The next three coordinate systems which are based on the right-handed rule are called the Cartesian coordinate system.
Page 25
Dobot CR10 Hardware User Guide 2.11.2.2 Base Coordinate System The Base coordinate system is determined by the base. Figure 2.19 shows the Base coordinate system of a CR10 robot. Rx , Ry , Rz are the orientation data, which are designated by rotating the tool center point (TCP) around the X, Y, Z axes under the Base coordinate system.

Dobot CR10 Hardware User Guide Figure 2.20 The default Tool coordinate system of CR10 robot 2.11.2.4 User Coordinate System The User coordinate system is a movable coordinate system which is used for representing equipment like fixtures, workbenches. The origin and the orientations of axes can be defined based on site requirements, to measure point data within the workspace and arrange tasks conveniently.
Dobot CR10 Hardware User Guide Figure 2.21 The default User coordinate system of CR10 robot Singularity Point When the robot moves under the Cartesian coordinate system, the resultant velocity of the two axes cannot be in any direction if the directions of them are aligned, resulting in that the degrees of freedom of the robot are degraded.
