Main Modes and Programming Methods in RPL
Reis Robotics robots, controlled in the RPL language, can be programmed in several ways - from quick code editing on the operator panel to working in a simulation environment. At NexaRob, we adapt these methods to the specifics of your plant so that the entire implementation process is fast, safe and flexible. Below are the main modes:
Teach Pendant (Online Programming)
- Direct Editing: Using the pendant, the operator sets motion points and creates sequences in HRPL directly on the Hyundai robot.
- Quick fixes on the line: This is an ideal way when minor corrections or tests are needed during operation without having to shut down the entire process.
- Limitations: More complex applications (large number of points, complicated logic) may require more time and attention when entering code exclusively via the pendant.
Offline Programming (Simulation Environment)
- Working on a computer: HRPL code can be created and pre-tested in a simulation environment (e.g., Hyundai Robot Software), which helps avoid errors and reduce downtime on the line.
- Time saving: After refining the trajectory and logic in simulation, simply upload the ready-made program to the robot, minimizing corrections and reducing downtime.
- Application: Ideal for advanced projects that require detailed collision analysis or path optimization.
Online Remote Programming (Network Control)
- Remote access: With proper network configuration, NexaRob engineers or your team can log into the Hyundai controller via the internet and update the code in real time.
- Expert support: This allows for a quick response to unforeseen events or the need for optimization without having to send a specialist on site.
Hybrid Approach
- Combining methods: In practice, it is common to use the Teach Pendant for basic calibrations and quick corrections, and offline tools for deeper trajectory optimization.
- Gradual improvement: The code can be developed and tested iteratively, with refined sections uploaded to the robot in online mode, which reduces the risk of errors and shortens implementation time.
Programming methods in HRPL are versatile and can be combined depending on the complexity of the operation and the dynamics of modifications in production. This allows Hyundai robots to handle both simple pick & place tasks and advanced assembly or welding processes. In the following sections, we will show how they HRPL integrate with vision systems and sensors, further improving and securing the production process.
Learn how Hyundai robots programmed in HRPL can use cameras and sensors to dynamically adapt to conditions on the production line.
Integration with Vision Systems and Sensors in Hyundai HRPL
Hyundai robots in HRPL are not limited to pre-defined motion paths. Thanks to communication capabilities with external devices - such as cameras or force sensors - they are able to actively react to a changing environment and automatically correct their tasks. Below, we show how RPL supports this intelligent approach:
Vision Systems
- Protocols and libraries: HRPL supports protocols that allow the Hyundai robot to receive data from 2D/3D cameras, detecting objects based on image analysis.
- Trajectory correction in real time: When products are arranged in a disorganized manner, the robot can calculate the offset and adjust its movement, significantly increasing speed and precision in sorting or assembly tasks.
Force and Moment Sensors
- Precise Assembly: HRPL monitors the force level, allowing the robot to gently place components without risking crushing or breaking them.
- Collision detection- When the torque exceeds a set threshold, the robot stops working, protecting equipment from damage and operators from dangerous situations.
Support for Additional Axes and Peripherals
- Expanded Kinematic Capabilities: The robot can work with additional axes (e.g., positioners) and tools (e.g., screwdrivers, welding heads). The HRPL code ensures their harmonious synchronization.
- Application: Automotive lines (complex multi-plane welding), food industry (multi-stage packaging), electronics (multi-stage assembly).
Application examples
Food industry
The camera identifies different package formats, and the robot, using HRPL, adjusts its grip and position, quickly and precisely placing products in cartons.
Electronics
Assembly of delicate modules with dynamic position correction, where a force sensor prevents excessive pressure and errors when plugging components onto a PCB.
Logistics
Sorting packages by barcode and size - when a package is incorrectly placed, the robot calculates the offset and corrects its movement.
Thanks to cooperation with cameras and force sensors, Hyundai robots in HRPL adapt to the current situation, increasing efficiency and reducing errors in the process. NexaRob provides support in analysis, equipment selection, and code writing, allowing you to fully utilize the potential of intelligent robotics on the production line.

This example concerns implementation in the automotive sector, where Hyundai robots - programmed in HRPL - contributed to a significant improvement in both the speed and quality of the assembly process. In the automotive industry, not only short production cycles are important, but also repeatable precision and strict quality control.
Context and Main Challenges
- Delicate Components: The assembly or disassembly of components (e.g., sensors, cable harnesses) required precise movement and an appropriate level of pressing force.
- Multi-stage operations: Each product could go through several stations with different motion and kinematic requirements.
- Strict quality standards: Incorrect placement of a part could result in errors in the later stages of assembly, causing high costs and delays.
Solutions in HRPL Code
Use of force and torque sensor
The robot monitored the force level in real time, slowing down or stopping when a previously defined safety threshold was reached. This prevented excessive pressure and also allowed for timely detection of collisions or incorrectly positioned components.
Modular Assembly Logic
For each operation (e.g., screwing, connecting connectors, visual inspection), separate procedures were created in HRPL, which facilitated code management and rapid adaptation to new component versions. Operators could easily configure parameters (speed, force, point positions), which reduced the time required for changeovers and implementing changes.
Visual verification
The camera checked the position of components before and after assembly. In case of deviations, the robot dynamically corrected the trajectory based on calculated offsets, eliminating the need for manual adjustments. This reduced the number of rejected parts and improved the flow between stations.
Effects and Benefits
- Productivity Increased by Approx. 20%: The robots performed subsequent steps faster while reducing the number of errors.
- Fewer complaints: Precise force control and visual verification reduced production defects, improving the overall quality of vehicles.
- Flexible adjustment: Modular HRPL code accelerated parameter changes and adaptation to new component models, allowing the line to respond more quickly to changing market demands.
