Added a new collision avoidance algorithm

The collision avoidance algorithm was enhanced by removing the safe distance requirement in the minimum-distance calculation, significantly improving computational efficiency.

Added an automatic robot axis map

We've introduced an intelligent robot axis mapping tool that simplifies trajectory planning for complex multi-axis systems (including rotary tables and linear axes with DoF >6). Unlike traditional robot axis map, our new solution automatically generates collision-free, singularity-avoiding trajectories while maintaining all movements within safe axis ranges - delivering optimal path quality with minimal user effort.

    Update to MachineMaker.

    Trevisan machines are now supported in MachineMaker

    T he assembly process of such machines in MachineMaker involves adding the machine base and attaching the Multi Tool Head. Currently, this head is configured with basic kinematics similar to a D'Andrea head, but users can freely modify the kinematics, attach any number of tool blocks, and configure them as needed. The assembly is similar to lathe milling machines but simpler. At the moment, there are no templates or restrictions, allowing the creation of a fully customizable Multi Tool Head. See more.
