A method for adaptive control of a robotic operation of a robot includes providing a software program to generate process signals executable during the robotic operation, including one or more execution commands. A first Signal Value channel is provided to control at least one control process parameter of the robot, where the first Signal Value channel is subject to a first time latency. The execution timing of the first Signal Value channel is synchronized with the one or more execution commands by accounting for the first time latency in relation to the one or more execution commands. The software program is run to generate the process signals and the robot is operated in response to the synchronized execution timing of the execution commands.

A method and an apparatus for displaying three-dimensional workcell data includes a hand-held pendant that is provided with 3-D workcell data representing a model of a machine and associated components in a workcell. The hand-held pendant has a display that generates a 3-D visual representation of the workcell data. The pendant can be operated by a user to manipulate the visual representation to change a user viewpoint and to show motion of the machine with associated process information.
