  • Publication number: 20230311309
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining optimized program parameters for a robot program, wherein the robot program is used to control a robot having a manipulator, preferably in a robot cell, comprising the steps: creating the robot program by means of a component-based graphical programming system on the basis of user inputs, wherein the robot program is formed from program components which are parameterizable via program parameters, and wherein initial program parameters are generated for the program components of the robot program; providing an interface for selecting one or more critical program components, wherein optimizable program parameters can be defined for the critical program components; carrying out an exploration phase for exploring a parameter range in relation to the optimizable program parameters, the robot program being carried out multiple times, the parameter range being scanned for the critical program components and trajectories of the robot being recorded such that training

  • Patent number: 10279476
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for programming a robot, in particular a robot comprising a robotic arm, in which method a movement to be performed by the robot is set up preferably in a robot programme by means of a predefined motion template, the motion template is selected from a database comprising a plurality of motion templates, the motion template comprises one or more execution modules that can be parameterized and at least one learning module, the one or more execution modules are used for planning and/or performing the robot movement or part of the robot movement, the leaning module records one or more configurations of the robot during an initialization process, in particular in the form of a teaching process, and the learning module calculates parameters for the one or more execution modules on the basis of the recorded configurations, preferably using an automatic learning process. Also disclosed is a corresponding system for programming a robot.
