Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for robot programming. One of the methods comprises generating an interactive user interface that includes an illustration of a virtual robot corresponding to a physical robot; receiving first user input data specifying a first target pose of the virtual robot; causing the physical robot to traverse to the first target pose while updating in real-time the illustration of the virtual robot as the physical robot transitions to the first target pose; receiving a user request to switch from operating in a synchronized mode to operating in an unsynchronized mode; receiving second user input data specifying a second target pose of the virtual robot; and generating an animation of the virtual robot transitioning from the first target pose to the second target pose but withholding causing the physical robot to traverse to the second target pose.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for robot programming. One of the methods comprises generating an interactive user interface that includes an illustration of a first virtual robot, the first virtual robot having an initial pose that defines respective joint angles of one or more joints of the first virtual robot; receiving user input data specifying a target pose of the first virtual robot; and generating an animation of the first virtual robot transitioning between the initial pose and the target pose.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating control instructions for operating a robot. One of the methods includes generating an interactive user interface that illustrates an object to be manipulated by a robot by using an end effector; receiving, within the user interface, first user input data indicating a workcell location; computing a surface normal of a surface in the workcell corresponding to the workcell location; presenting, within the user interface, a graphical representation of the surface normal corresponding to the workcell location; receiving, within the user interface, second user input data selecting the workcell location; and generating pose data for the robot using the computed surface normal and the workcell location.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing a user interface action are provided. In one embodiment, an example method includes receiving, by one or more computing devices, data indicative of a user input directed to causing a motion of a virtual camera associated with a user interface. The method further includes detecting, by the one or more computing devices, a shake event associated with the user interface based at least in part on the motion of the virtual camera. The method further includes performing, by the one or more computing devices, an action associated with the user interface based at least in part on the detected shake event.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for providing an interactive, geo-contextual interface are provided. In one embodiment, a method can include providing a user interface for display on a display device. The user interface can include a display area for presenting visual content, the visual content representing an original location on a three-dimensional body. The method can include providing an interactive widget for display on the display device. The widget can be represented as three-dimensional and having an appearance corresponding to the three-dimensional body. The method can include receiving data indicative of a user input directed to at least one of the user interface display area and the widget. The method can include adjusting at least one of the visual content, the widget, and the visual indicator based at least in part on the data indicative of the user input.
