The invention comprises a programming device 2 for programming an industrial robot, together with a calibration device 3 for calibrating the programming device. The invention alas relates to a method for programming using the programming device, and a computer program for carrying out the method. A system for programming a robot is also described. A programming device in the form of a portable pointer is moved over a series of points on a work-object 1 to be processed by a robot, eg painted. 6 DOF position information provided by an inertial navigation device incorporated the programming device is sampled and stored, and later transferred to a computer for generation of a robot control program. The programming device is re-calibrated to compensate for accuracy drift during the operation to sample and store waypoints using the calibration device 3. |
