A method, apparatus and a system are disclosed for robotic programming. In at least one embodiment of a method for robotic programming, the method includes receiving, from a controller of a robot, movement parameters reflecting movement of the robot manipulated by a user; making a first data model of a robot move, according to the movement parameters; calculating, upon the first data model touching a second data model of a virtual object, parameters of a first force to be fed back to the user for feeling touch by the robot on a physical object corresponding to the virtual object; and sending the parameters of the first force to the controller of the robot, to drive the robot to feed back the first force to the user.

Method, apparatus and system for robotic programming

A method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage media for robotic programming are disclosed. To improve upon or even solve the dilemma that teach-in techniques cannot work for all kinds of objects and offline programming requires complicated simulation of a robot and objects, a solution is provided to use a virtual item marked by a marker during programming of the robot and display the virtual item to a user. As such, even very large items can be used and also replaced easily during programming, which makes the programming procedures go smoothly and efficiently.

Method, apparatus, computer-readable storage media for robotic programming

In a method for preventing a collision of a load of a crane with an obstacle, a height profile of the obstacle is captured along a trajectory of movement of the load by at least two sensors for distance measurement. Signals of the sensors are transmitted via at least two communication channels to a controller having at least two operating systems. At least one of the operating systems has a safety program in a secure area. The obstacle is identified along the trajectory via the height profile. The controller includes a secure communications interface for transmitting signals from the controller to a crane control.
