How to set an animation

[Aria_Zhou]

Hello,

I'm trying to set an animation for robot, to simulate the light checking in the loading process.

However, when I put the trigger of start animation, the robot won't do the animation I set.

Does anybody know where the problem is and the solution? Thanks a lot!

While the robot is busy with a movement task its location is continuously updated based on the move kinematics. This overrides the position it would be in due to the animation. Defining exact paths for robot motions is done via the "Motion Paths" move type.
