A safety system for allowing a robot having a controller and at least one movable member to be manually guided by a user includes a sensor module is disposed on a surface of the robot that comprises a user-interaction sensor that produces a sensing signal. The sensor module further includes a resilient member having an outer surface. A motion control module is adapted to move the robot through the controller according to a first threshold of the sensing signal. A safety module is adapted for stopping movement of the robot through the controller according to a second threshold of the sensing signal and represents a potential threat of harm to the user.

A teaching system configured to teach operation to a plurality of robots includes a first controlling device which determines whether a first robot and a second robot are in an enabled state where the first and second robots are permitted to operate, and when the first controlling device determines as in the enabled state, the first controlling device transmits an enable signal indicative of permitting the second robot to operate and enables the first robot to be taught the operation when a teaching terminal specifies the first robot. When a second controlling device receives the enable signal from the first controlling device and the teaching terminal specifies the second robot, the second controlling device enables the second robot to be taught the operation.

Provided is a method, device, and computer-readable medium for controlling a robot graphic user interface (“RGUI”) on a mobile device. The method can include determining a distance, a position, or both of the mobile device with respect to a first robot; and causing, by a processor, a first RGUI to be displayed on a display of the mobile device based on the determining.

To enhance the productivity of an offline teaching work by visualizing the working position, path, and the like of an end effector in offline teaching. A robot teaching device, includes: a teaching point marker display unit configured to display, on a GUI, teaching point markers for marking teaching points in a three-dimensional modeling space in which at least a three-dimensional model of a robot including an end effector and a three-dimensional model of a work piece are arranged, the teaching points serving as target passing points of the end effector; a joined path display unit configured to display, on the GUI, a joined path, which is a path connecting successive points among the teaching points to each other; and a changing point marker display unit configured to display, on the GUI, a changing point marker marking a point at which a working state of the end effector changes.

The invention relates to a control system for electrically controlled installations, comprising at least one electronic control apparatus and at least one portable, mobile manual held operating unit, and a wireless communication connection between the at least one control apparatus and the manual held operating unit. Furthermore, at least one material coupling means, flexible in terms of form, with a restricted maximum longitudinal extent is provided for selectively establishing and releasing a physical link between the manual held operating unit and a machine-side coupling counterpart. The control system is embodied to release or block supervisory-relevant control commands depending on a coupling state and/or a linkage state of the coupling means.
