Abstract :
Off-line programming of robots will become increasingly more important. This paper describes a robot programming system which is based upon the use of geometrical constraints on the degrees of freedom of a component for specifying robotic assembly actions. Two pieces of software have been developed which allow easy definition of these constraints and the order of execution of the constraints.
