Computer-implemented method and control apparatus for controlling a machine by executing program steps which verifiably execute predefined control tasks is provided, including manipulating data based on input data received from the machine and resulting in reference data by data programming steps structured according to a declarative programming paradigm in a data processing unit, and performing control program steps verifying the reference data with respect to explicit conditions, without any further manipulation of the reference data in the control program steps in a control processing unit, and providing instructions resulting from the performed control program steps to the machine for execution of the instructions by the machine.

The invention relates to a robotic system with at least one robotic arm and a control unit, which is designed so that it can preset at least one predefined operation that can be carried out by the robotic system. In addition, the robotic system comprises at least one input device attached to the robotic arm which is designed so that the predefined operations of the robotic system can be parameterized by means of the input device. In this case, the input device is designed so that it can provide a user-directed feedback to a user of the robotic system when setting the execution of operations, the logical sequence of the operations and/or parameterizing the predefined operations for the robotic system.

An integrated intelligent system includes a first intelligent electronic device, a second intelligent electronic device, a transferable intelligent control device (TICD) and a cross product bus. The first intelligent electronic device performs a first function and the second intelligent electronic device performs a second function. The cross product bus couples the first intelligent electronic device to the transferable intelligent control device. The TICD partially controls behaviors of the intelligent electronic device by sending commands over the cross product bus to the first intelligent electronic device and the TICD partially controls behaviors of the second intelligent electronic device to perform the second function. The TICD is first attached to the first intelligent electronic device to partially control the behaviors of the first electronic device, then detached from the first electronic device, and then attached to the second intelligent electronic device to perform the second function.

In the present invention, robot commands are displayed together in order to facilitate the understanding of the flow of robot commands. This robot teaching device comprises: a display unit; an edit screen image control unit for displaying, on the display unit, an edit screen image for editing a robot program that teaches how to move a robot; and a wizard control unit that, when a robot command is added to the robot program in the edit screen image, displays at least a wizard for setting a parameter value of the robot command on the display unit. The robot command added in the edit screen image may be a representative command associated with the addition of at least one other robot command besides the aforementioned robot command, and the representative command may be deleted from the robot program after the wizard has ended.
