An Icon-Based Robot Programming Environment: Design and Implementation

Abstract

In order to overcome the difficulties in the learning and using of traditional text-based robot programming me-thod,a simple and convenient icon-based robot programming method is designed.The emphasis is put on icon-based robot language design and its interpretive execution algorithm.The icon-based robot programming environment has been applied to and implemented in industrial robots,and the results show that this method is easy to use and highly efficient.
