    Several programming methods are used in robotics, including manual lead through where movements are recorded, master-slave programming, and pictorial programming. Common methods are teach pendant where a hand-held device is used to control robot movements and record programs, walk through where the programmer manually moves the robot to record movements, and off-line programming where programs are prepared separately from robot operation. Future robot programming may be done through advanced CAD/CAM systems to reduce programming time and optimize the manufacturing process.

    Explain the various programming methods used in robotics with examples and features

    of each.
    Robot programming
     Manual lead through, teach in
     Manual programming
     Tactile & optical sequence programming
     Master – slave programming
     Pictorial programming
     Explicit Programming
     Implicit Programming
    Programming methods for industrial robots

     Several scientific programming languages were extended with movement


    instructions, sensor control, and data types (frames, vectors, matrixes, etc.,)
     Various dedicated languages were developed with robot specific commands
    derived from other automation languages including APT.
     The world model suggested in AL, SRL, & RAPT
     Data base system specially designed for robots are under development.
    Methods of Robot programming
     Manual programming method
     Walk through programming method
     Lead through method (or) Teach pendant
     Off –line programming method
    Manual programming method
     It’s not really programming in the conventional sense of the word.
     It is more like setting up a machine rather than programming.
     It is the procedure used for the simpler robots & involves setting mechanical
    stops, cams, switches, relays in the robot’s control unit.
     For these low technology robots used for short work cycles.
     This method is adequate.
    Walk through method
     The programmer manually moves the robots arm and hand through the motion
    sequence of the work cycle.
     Each movement is recorder into memory for subsequent play back during
    production.
     It is suitable for spray painting, arc welding robots
    Lead through or Teach pendant
     It makes use of a teach pendant to power drive the robot through its motion
    sequence.
     Teach pendant is usually a small hand – held device with switches and dials to
    control the robots physical movements.
     Each movement is recorder into memory for subsequent play back during
    production.
     It is a very popular method because of its ease & convenience.
     Classified into two types:
     Power lead through – Point to Point movement
     Manual lead through – Continuous path control.
    Off line method
     It involves the preparation of the robot program off – line, in a manner similar to
    NC part programming.
     After the program has been prepared, it is entered into the robot memory for use
    during the work cycle.
     The advantage of this method is that production time of the robot is not lost to
    delays in teaching the robot a new task.
     It can be done while the robot is still in production on the preceding job.
    In future manufacturing systems, robot programming will be performed by advanced
    CAD/CAM systems, just as NC part programs can be generated by today’s CAD/CAM
    technology.
    Benefits:
     Reduced down time for programming.
     Programming tools make programming easier
     Enables concurrent engineering & reduces product lead time
     Assists cell design & allows process optimization.
