Abstract:
This paper presents a path editor for the interactive creation of complex robot motion programs. It combines specific capabilities that can be found in commercial offline robot programming tools, CAD, VR and AR software as well as drawing tools. The user can intuitively edit point-cloud-based waypoints generated through various input channels and is provided with online visual and acoustic feedback on the feasibility of the desired robot motion. The paper discusses the system architecture and presents usability considerations.
