Abstract

Icon-based programming paves the way for making programming of modern industrial robots simpler and more intuitive. The flowchart-like representation of the program structure provides a superior overview. Programming becomes possible without detailed prior knowledge of a syntax. The style guide presented in this paper suggests a number of manufacturer-independent design rules for intuitive icon-based programming interfaces operated via touch screen and speech input. The complete style guide can be obtained from the authors free of charge by e-mail.
