US Patent 11584012 Method, apparatus, computer-readable storage media for robotic programming

A method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage media for robotic programming are disclosed. To improve upon or even solve the dilemma that teach-in techniques cannot work for all kinds of objects and offline programming requires complicated simulation of a robot and objects, a solution is provided to use a virtual item marked by a marker during programming of the robot and display the virtual item to a user. As such, even very large items can be used and also replaced easily during programming, which makes the programming procedures go smoothly and efficiently.
