Robot Programming

Robot programming involves teaching robots their work cycles without human intervention. There are two main methods of robot programming: lead-through and textual robot language. Lead-through methods involve physically moving the robot through its motions, and can be powered using a teach pendant or manual. Textual robot language uses coded instructions to program the robot.

Robot programming:

Robot programming dealt with a process in which robot may


perform desired motion without any intervention.
The primary objective of robot programming is to make the
robot understand its work cycle.
The program teaches the robot the following:
• The path it should take
• The points it should reach precisely, How to interpret the
sensor data
• How and when to actuate the end-effector.
• How to move parts from one location to another, and so
forth
Robot programming can be classified
• 1. lead through method
• 2. textual robot language.
Lead through method
• Programmer moves the manipulator through the
desired motion path.
• The path that the manipulator will follow is
dependent on the memory of controller.
• “Lead” the robot physically “through” the
sequence motion.
• Lead through method can be classified
• 1. powered Lead through
• 2. manual Lead through
Power lead through
• Use teach pendant
• Teach pendant is handled control box with which ( toggles which,
button, switch)
• The use of teach pendant is to control various joints, motors or
robotic arm.
• Suitable for point to point motion.
• Very common/ easy
• Used for part transfer, machine loading and unloading , spot
welding
• Difficult to have continuous work path(work application), complex
geometric motion is not possible. Example spray painting
Manual lead through
• The programmer physically grasp the robot( arm/
end effector) and manually moves the robot
through desired motion cycle.
• Continuous path program
• Used for spray painting
• Complex curvilinear geometry as well
• Used continuous arc welding.
On line programming
• Relatively easy
• Not special programming skill or training
• Wide rage of operation
• Robot movement can be change (or modify ) based on our
requirement.
Disadvantage
• Access to robot(every time access the robot)
• Large or heavy tools is not used.
• Less customized (can not modify very quickly from linear to
curvilinear.
• Incorporate the sensor data.
• Less accuracy
Off line mode
• No need to access the robot.
• Sensor data can be easily be accessed
Disadvantage
• Complex/ sophisticated/
• Specialized person
• Debugging might take long time.
