Abstract

Various disclosed embodiments include methods, systems, and computer-readable media for identifying a motion path for an industrial robot. According to one embodiment, a method includes identifying a plurality of points at which at least one component of the industrial robot is positioned during performance of a task. The identified points include at least a starting point and an ending point of the component for performing the task. The method also includes generating one or more motion paths for the industrial robot to perform the task based on the identified points. The method further includes identifying and predicting energy consumption by the industrial robot for the one or more generated motion paths. The method also includes selecting the motion path for the industrial robot based on the identified energy consumption. Additionally, the method includes storing information about the energy consumption by the industrial robot for the selected motion path.
