I’m trying to make the movement of a Pneumatic Actuator with a gripper. It’s not a robotic arm, but I’m also using a robotic arm in the process. I’ve already managed to create the tasks for moving the robotic arms, but with this actuator I followed the same steps and it gives an error saying: "Unable to simulate the robot move RobotTask/RobotMotion.1. The assigned resource Atuador Montagem is not a robot."
However, the resource where I placed this Pneumatic Actuator is a robot, and as you can see in the video, I ask to record a Home Position, but when I try to execute it, the task doesn’t run. The kinematics of the actuator, as you can see in the video, is correct. I also tried to set a TCP (Tool Center Point) on the actuator, just like I did with the robotic arms’ grippers, and in the video I show the arm moving through the TCP. For some reason, the TCP is not connected, and I’m not sure if this is related to the Task problem.
The main point for me is to make the Task work. I’m also sending a screenshot of the mechanical ports, and I used the Set Tool function to attach the gripper, following the same step-by-step as with the robotic arm.
My question is: I thought about a possible solution (still testing it, but it also didn’t work), which is not placing the actuator under a robot resource, but instead under a tool resource. However, I see a problem with this approach: the gripper would be a tool, but the actuator body would also have to be one. Could you please confirm if I’m on the right track with this idea, or at least in the right direction?
👉 I’ve made the file available in .3dxml format for review.
