# Concept of work-flow and robot motion planning

As described in the chapter for the setup-editor, in AUTOMAPPPS, we partially uncouple the process (defined by robot tool-paths) and the execution of those paths by the robots. This simplifies the programming and optimization. While the process result is of highest interest, and mostly defined by the tool-paths in the setup-editor, the robots need to execute them. To make the programming easier and faster, so far it was not necessary, to select the robot to execute a path, or the axis setting, or the timing (especially in conveyor-tracking). This is done in the workflow-editor.

At start, a short introduction to the GUI of the setup editor is provided as quick-start in the next video.
