Purpose–This paper aims to deal with the problem of programming robots in industrial
contexts, where the need of easy programming is increasing, while robustness and safety …

Industrial robots play a key role in manufacturing systems. Robots are distinguished from
other types of machinery mainly on the basis of their programmability and ability to be …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to report a collection of developments that enable
users to program industrial robots using speech, several device interfaces, force control and …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to present a CAD‐based human‐robot interface that
allows non‐expert users to teach a robot in a manner similar to that used by human beings …

Purpose This paper aims to propose an evaluation method to compare two different Human–
Robot Interaction (HRI) solutions that can be used for on-line programming in an industrial …

Nowadays, programming an industrial manipulator is a complex and time-consuming
activity, and this prevents industrial robots from being massively used in companies …

Purpose–Most industrial robots are still programmed using the typical teaching process,
through the use of the robot teach pendant. This is a tedious and time‐consuming task that …

Purpose–This paper aims to propose a new technique for programming robotized
machining tasks based on intuitive human–machine interaction. This will enable operators …

In order for manufacturing companies to remain competitive while also offering a high
degree of customization for the customers, flexible robots that can be rapidly reprogrammed …

The present paper addresses the issues that should be covered in order to develop walk-
through programming techniques (ie a manual guidance of the robot) in an industrial …
