Trial robot programs generated from plain-language descriptions

Manufacturers program robots and control systems by describing tasks in plain language

Future prospectAI Act: no extra obligationsCreating software & codeMechanical engineering & manufacturing

Fits: Production, engineering & maintenance

People who know the process at the plant describe a task in words and get a draft program for a robot or control system. This can speed up changeovers and small changes. Today it runs mainly in pilot projects and for simple handling tasks; for complex paths and anything safety-related it is not yet reliable.

Is this for you?

  • You want to test early whether draft programs generated from descriptions reduce your changeover and programming times, and you can set aside a simulation or test cell for this.
  • You have robot or PLC programming specialists who check every draft. Without them, this is not a pilot but a risk.
  • Your tasks are recurring and manageable, such as picking and placing parts, palletising or simple sequence steps.
First step today

Use the template below to research which robot and control system manufacturers offer programming by description today and how mature it is. Then clarify with maintenance and the occupational safety specialist whether you have a simulation or a safeguarded test cell for a pilot.

How to go about it

  1. Describe the pilot task and stop criteria
  2. Provide a simulation, test cell and sample programs
  3. Have a draft program generated
  4. Check in simulation and at reduced speed
  5. Only put tested programs on the plant
  6. Document programs and evaluate the pilot
