4.8. Path Recording node
The Finishing Copilot software package adds a Path feature in PolyScope which can be used to record paths directly by moving
the robot. The ActiveDrive Toolbar is a great tool to use while recording a path, as it is an easy way to hand guide the robot end
effector. Path recording can be used for specific processes requiring complex paths (polishing, gluing, etc.) or more generally, for
any task otherwise requiring programming many waypoints. The Path node offers options to modify the recorded path to change
its speed and play the path backwards or relative to a variable starting position. Two options are available with the Path Recording
node: Tool on robot or External tooling. The following table explains the steps to follow.
