Task planning in robot simulation

Describes the approach adapted by Robot Simulations Ltd in their development of successive versions of the Workspace software package, namely to place the emphasis on using the knowledge of the geometry of the parts and machines in a production cell to automate those aspects of the traditional design method that can be performed by the computer. Also describes how some of the task planning tools embedded within robot simulation can work and what they can deliver in terms of shortening the design time of a production cell and improving the speed and quality of the production process.
