Robot Programming
Two types:
1. Powered leadthrough
Common for point-to-point robots
Uses teach pendant to move joints to desired position
and record that position into memory
2. Manual leadthrough
Convenient for continuous path control robots
Human programmer physical moves manipulator
through motion cycle and records cycle into memory

Leadthrough Programming
Advantages
Advantages:
Can readily be learned by shop personnel
A logical way to teach a robot
Does not required knowledge of computer
programming
Disadvantages:
Downtime - Regular production must be interrupted to
program the robot
Limited programming logic capability
Not readily compatible with modern computer-based
technologies

Simulation and Off-Line Programming
In conventional usage, robot programming languages still
require some production time to be lost in order to define
points in the workspace that are referenced in the program
They therefore involve on-line/off-line programming
Advantage of true off-line programming is that the program
can be prepared beforehand and downloaded to the
controller with no lost production time
Graphical simulation is used to construct a 3-D model
of the robot cell in which locations of the equipment in
the cell have been defined previously
