SUMMARYThe development of robot languages has followed a pattern similar to that of conventional programming languages, where robot languages have been based on an existing programming language. This paper first identifies the use of an existing base as one way of developing robot programming languages, and discusses the areas of difficulty in this approach. Then, on-line and off-line programming of robots is discussed and the requirements of robot programming languages that are different to those of non-specialised programming languages are presented. A discussion and evaluation of some programming languages in terms of their appropriateness for use as the base for an intelligent robot programming language is presented. This leads to the conclusion that no current language forms an adequate base for intelligent robot programming languages. What is needed as a base is a language for use in the artificial intelligence domain, that incorporates real-time facilities.

Industrial robots are playing increasingly important roles in production lines. The traditional pendant programming method, however, is unintuitive and time-consuming. Its complicated operation also sets a high requirement on users. To simplify the robot programming process, many new methods have been proposed, such as lead through teaching, teleoperation, and human direct demonstration. Each of these methods, however, suffers from its own drawbacks. To overcome the drawbacks, a novel robot programming method, remote lead through teaching (RLTT), is introduced in this paper. In RLTT, the operator uses a device to train the robot remotely, allowing the demonstrators to use the mature lead through teaching techniques in a safe environment. In order to implement RLTT, the human demonstration device (HDD) is also designed to transfer the demonstration information from the human to the robot.
