Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – From Washington, D.C., NewsRx journali sts report that a patent application by the inventors Ekelund, Anders (Goteborg, SE); Kullang, Roger (Vasteras, SE); Willfor, Per (Vasteras, SE), filed on April 29, 2021, was made available online on September 5, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “Manipulators of industrial robots can often be programmed by means of lead-through programming. With lead-through programming, a human can physically lead the manipulator to specific target points and record joint angl es of the manipulator in each point using a programming device, such as a teach pendant unit, TPU. A movement path comprising a plurality of movement segments b etween the points can then be generated (e.g. by interpolation) to provide a rob ot program. Positioning of the manipulator by means of lead-through is often eas ier for the user in comparison with jogging the manipulator to different points by means of a joystick or similar.
