Abstract
A robot control system for repositioning work points used by the robot control system at which operations occur. The work points are retrieved from the robot controller memory and plotted onto a video display for the operator to view. The operator then designates and selects a work point or work points which are to be repositioned. Using a mouse or other type of cursor control, the operator can then manipulate on the video display the points associated with the work points. After the operator has adjusted the position of the points, in the robot coordinate system, the revised points are then stored in the robot controller memory and used thereafter when positioning the robot.
