Augmentus is a no-code industrial robotic programming solution that enables manufacturers to automate complex surface applications without requiring robotics expertise. It is used in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, energy, and metal fabrication for applications including sanding, painting, spraying, grinding, welding, and inspection. The software is designed for engineers and operations managers who need to quickly deploy and adapt robotic automation in high-mix, variable production environments.
The system combines industrial-grade 3D scanning with intelligent motion planning to simplify robot programming and eliminate the need for manual coding or teach pendants. Users can scan a physical part, define their process parameters, and automatically generate optimized robot paths tailored to the part’s shape and condition. This allows for faster setup, consistent quality, and reduced downtime.
Key features and capabilities include:
3D Vision Technology: Industrial 3D scanners with advanced perception intelligence capture part geometry and detect surface deviations. The system auto-calibrates robot-to-part positioning and supports various setups including gantry and multi-angle robots.
AutoPath™ Motion Planning: Automatically generates robot trajectories for 3D surfaces, edges, and complex geometries. Users can input process parameters such as standoff, speed, angle of attack, and blending radius. Includes hole avoidance, offline simulation, and recipe management.
Path Optimizer: Ensures smooth, collision-free motion across all robot joints, solving kinematic and singularity challenges. Maintains consistent tool orientation and velocity while respecting constraints like wrist locking or rail-prioritized motion.
Adaptive Robotic Motion: Adjusts toolpaths based on scanned part conditions, compensating for part deviations, defects, and dimensional variations. Supports dynamic path adaptation for unfixtured or non-uniform parts.
Deployment Options: Can be retrofitted to existing robot systems within two days or provided as a turnkey solution via global integrators.
Augmentus is compatible with leading robot brands such as ABB, FANUC, KUKA, Yaskawa, and Universal Robots. It is available in three software packages—Core, Pro, and Auto—ranging from offline path generation to full adaptive automation.
