ESC specialists have developed a software package for adjusting the trajectory of movement, speed and cyclicity of exposure
- The software package implements a digital twin of the test bench, fully synchronized with a full-scale test bench based on an industrial manipulation robot.The software package implements a digital twin of the test bench, fully synchronized with the full-scale bench based on an industrial manipulation robot.
The developed package generates the program code of manipulator control on the digital twin of the test bench, which allows:
- Carry out the preparation and execution of a series of experiments in parallel;
- Guarantee repeatability of experiments;
- Carry out precise changes in the parameters of positioning and motion of the working body;
- Document the experiments with preservation of parameters and trajectories.

A software complex for working out various variants of the motion trajectory of manipulators and RTC chassis using the capabilities of the ROS2 robot development software framework
- The software provides the development of control actions on actuators within manipulators and platforms depending on the desired trajectory, speed and other motion parameters of the technological equipment placed on the manipulator flange.
- The illustration shows the visualization of the trajectory control of the RTC flange in the RVIZ environment of the ROS2 package.

A unique mathematical apparatus has been developed for modeling the parameters of protective coatings application and calculation of RTC operation modes
Modeling allows:
