Introduction to Programming:

Programming involves giving computers a set of instructions to execute


tasks.

Robots, integral to industries for decades, are now widespread, assisting in


household chores and complex operations.

Robot Programming Overview:

Key Aspects:

Perception: Using computer vision and deep learning for object detection,
tracking, and mapping.

Autonomy: Implementing algorithms like SLAM and motion planning.

Control Systems: Techniques include model predictive control and path


following.

Communication: Interfacing with sensors and actuators using CPUs, GPUs,


and microcontrollers.

Types of Robot Programming:

Leadthrough Programming:
Powered Leadthrough: Utilizes a teach pendant for point-to-point
movements, ideal for spot welding and part transfers.

Manual Leadthrough: Involves physically moving the robot, suitable for


continuous-path tasks like painting.

Textual Robot Languages:

Includes languages like WAVE, AL, VAL, and modern manufacturing


languages (e.g., AML, AUTOPASS).

Importance of Robot Programming:

Reduces deployment time and improves reusability of code.

A future-proof skill that enhances business adaptability.

Enables growth by expanding production capabilities and introducing new


skills.

Specialists Required:

Skilled programmers proficient in robot-specific languages and tools for both


online and offline programming.

Applications of Robotics:
Manufacturing: Testing and assembling products with over 3 million robots in
use.

Logistics: Used for shipping, sorting, and quality control to improve efficiency.

Home: Examples include cleaning robots like Roomba.

Travel: Autonomous vehicles leverage machine learning for enhanced


navigation.

Healthcare: Robots assist in surgeries, rehabilitation, and therapy.

Examples of Robotic Applications:

Arc welding, painting, autonomous vacuums, self-driving cars, and surgical


robots.
