A control system for a machine, operating on a worksite is associated with an implement, which perform additive construction operations in accordance with a pre-determined implement control plan. The system includes a positioning system, one or more implement control actuators, and a controller. The positioning system is configured to determine positioning signals associated with, at least, a terrain of the worksite and any worksite objects existing thereon. The controller determine an available zone, in which the machine and implement are capable of executing the additive construction operations within the available zone, based on the positioning signals and the pre-determined implement control plan, and determine an operation zone, relative to a desired additive construction site on the worksite, within the available zone, wherein parameters of the operation zone are based, at least in part, on the available zone, the machine configuration, and the pre-determined implement control plan.

Methods for CAD, simulation, and corresponding systems and computer-readable mediums. A method includes receiving inputs including one or more of robot information, operation information, position information, and constraint information. The method includes generating a list of candidate positions of a robot. The method includes, for each candidate position, determining a time value of the candidate position and when the time value of the candidate position does not meet a threshold cycle time value, removing the candidate position. The method includes, for each candidate position, determining an energy consumption value of the candidate position. The method includes, for each candidate position, determining one or more of a rating and a ranking for the candidate position based on the time value and the energy consumption value. The method includes determining the optimal position of the robot based on the ranking of each candidate position.

In a numerical control device, a command read out unit sequentially reads out time or a position of an axis or a spindle which is a reference and a position of a different axis or spindle from the axis or the spindle which is the reference or an auxiliary function that are stored in a storage unit. A selection unit selects a processing unit that processes a command which is read out by the command read out unit on the basis of a definition set by a definition unit. The definition unit defines commands executed by each processing unit.
