Abstract

The paper presents a running co-operative research project of three European robot manufacturers, a software house and a research institute. The main goal of the project is to implement easy-to-use interfaces and support tools for an efficient application of robot systems and robotized workcells. For this reason, robot application is analysed from an end-user point of view and suitable interface concepts are developed. Advanced UI-technologies are applied and tested (e.g. icon based systems, hypertext, multimedia)
