A production machine system includes a production machine having multiple axes and drives. Each drive adjusts a machine element relative to a further machine element with respect to an axis. The machine elements separate the drives from each other, with the drives and the machine elements forming a kinematic chain. A control facility controls the drives to move the machine element relative to the further machine element. A model of the machine element is stored in the control facility and comprises a model parameter of the machine element. A measuring equipment determines a path describing a specific point assigned to the machine element during movement of the machine element. An analysis equipment analyzes the specific path and a correction equipment corrects the model parameter based on the analysis result. To determine the specific path, several, in particular all axes are moved successively starting from a base along the kinematic chain.

Provided is an off-line simulation system that enables performance of efficient vision correction training. This vision correction training system for vision correction training is provided with a head mount display capable of displaying an image in a virtual space, and a teaching device communicably connected to the head mount display. The teaching device has: a vision correction unit that, on the basis of a captured image captured by a camera after the position of a workpiece has been moved, performs vision correction on a predetermined movement; and a correction confirmation unit that confirms that the vision correction is appropriately performed on the predetermined movement.

A teleoperated robotic system that utilizes a graphical user interface (GUI) to perform work on a workpiece(s) using a robot. A coordinate system of the GUI can be correlated to the tool center point (TCP) of the robot and the TCP or workspace of a teleoperated member, such as a haptic joystick. Operable manipulation of the teleoperated member can be correlated to a movement at a particular location in the robot station, such as movement of the TCP of the robot.
