Teach-In-Programming of robots is faced with a fundamental challenge: binding in external hardware und synchronizing robots with diverse hardware components within a simple programming environment. The present solution allows for intuitive programming of multiple robots and adapting existing programs from pre-existing offline programming. Movements and other actions are displayed in a clear diagram representation, from which movement durations or cycle time lines can be seen. There is the possibility to synchronize different components and to edit the recording of movements and to train (“teach-in”).
