A robot application development system and method includes a robot application unit that determines a robot application, which defines the industrial robot in a robot workspace. An input interface receives robot application information. An object data interface receives work piece information. A gripper finger design unit determines a gripper finger design. The robot application unit determines the robot application using the robot application information. The gripper finger design unit determines the gripper finger design using the work piece information and the robot application information.

A method of programming an industrial robot includes: providing the robot, the robot having a robot arm with an end-effector mounted thereto which is controlled by a robot control unit to manipulate a workpiece which is arranged in a workplace of the robot; associating a target coordinate system with the workplace; taking an image of the workplace and the workpiece by an image capturing device; transmitting the image to a computing device having a human-machine-interface to generate control code for controlling the robot, which is transmitted to the robot control unit; capturing an image of the workplace and the workpiece to be manipulated by the robot; transferring the captured image to the computing device and displaying the captured image on a display associated with the computing device; and displaying the workpiece on the display; marking the workpiece with a marker-object on the display.

A method for estimating a wrench acting on a reference point of a robot includes the steps of: a) measuring at least one component, but not all components, of the wrench; and b) estimating non-measured components of the wrench based on a dynamical model of the robot while taking into account the measured components.
