One of the main barriers to automating a particular task with a robot is the amount of time needed to program the robot. Decreasing the programming time would facilitate automation in domains previously off limits. In this paper, we present a novel method for leveraging the previous work of a user to decrease future programming time: predictive robot programming. The decrease in programming time is accomplished by predicting waypoints in future robot programs and automatically moving the manipulator end-effector to the predicted position. To this end, we have developed algorithms that construct simple continuous-density hidden Markov models by a state-merging algorithm based on waypoints from prior robot programs. We then use these models to predict the waypoints in future robot programs. While the focus of this paper is the application of predictive robot programming, we also give an overview of the underlying algorithms used and present experimental results.
robot programming presents specific issues associated to automatic control but also classic concerns of real time programming. We propose to mesh synchronous and asynchronous formalisms to concurrent programming in or...

When facing the problem of teaching the basis of robot control programming to computer science students, apart from the syllabus of the course, some other requirements have to be considered as which is the most appropriate robot, and which are the right tools for learning how to control it. In this paper we describe the tools we have chosen for teaching robotics, focusing on the environment that supports the practical assignments. We also analyze the reasons that made us choose each tool, making special emphasis on the Libre software requirement that we have imposed to every tool we are using. Finally, we present the results and opinions we have got from our students, and the lessons we have learned by using this Libre software approach.
Developing a robotics system can be a complex process, with competing requirements between programmers and end-users. This paper presents a case study on the development of NaoBlocks, a block-based programming environ...

Nowadays, most robots are programmed by more or less writing lines of code into a specialized robot programming language. Accordingly special education is required for persons to program robots so far. This widely limits the use of industrial robots for small and medium enterprises. These companies usually produce parts in low quantities that require a lot of hand work wherefore their robots would have to be reprogrammed several times a day. This is not affordable wherefore a more intuitive way of teaching robots is needed to enable small and medium enterprises to use modern robot technology. The European research initiative SMErobot is seeking to create new robot concepts taking care of special needs of small and medium enterprises. This article presents results of research done at the ABB Corporate Research Centre in Germany within the SMErobot initiative.
