Systems for teaching a robot (12) to perform a desired function are useful in many applications. Advantageously, such teach systems may be operated without special training. The subject teach system senses forces and torques being applied to an end effector (16) by an operator. A move signal is created which causes the robot (12) to move the end effector (16) in the direction of the applied force or torque and at a seped being reflective of the magnitude of the applied force or torque. Reference positions are stored in a memory device as the robot (12) moves the end effector (16). |
