CURRENT TRENDS REGARDING THE INTUITIVE PROGRAMMING OF INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS

Cosmin IOANEŞ, Adrian CHIOREANU

Abstract


This article presents the current state of the art regarding the intuitive programming of industrial robots. The paper explains the need of increasing the usability of industrial robots programming interfaces in order to increase the number of industrial robots used in SME (Small and Medium Enterprises).


Key words: industrial robots programming, human-machine interface, intuitive programming, user centered design.
