Method and system for teaching a robot in reaching a given target in robot manufacturing

A method for teaching, by a data processing system, a robot in reaching a given target location, the method comprising:

• a) receiving information inputs on a representation of a given target location to be reached by the robot;
• b) checking whether or not the given target location is singular;
• c) if the given target location is non-singular, teaching the robot by associating a selected configuration with the given target location;
• and
• d) if the given target location is singular, teaching the robot by associating an assigned joint-values solution with the given target location.

A data processing system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• an accessible memory;
• and
• wherein the data processing system is configured to:
• a) receive information inputs on a representation of a given target location to be reached by a robot;
• b) check whether or not the given target location is singular;
• c) if the given target location is non-singular, teach the robot by associating with the given target location a selected configuration;
• and
• d) if the given target location is singular, teach the robot by associating with the given target location an assigned joint-values solution.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with executable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more data processing systems to:

• a) receive information inputs on a representation of a given target location to be reached by a robot;
• b) check whether or not the given target location is singular;
• c) if the given target location is non-singular, teach the robot by associating with the given target location a selected configuration;
• and
• d) if the given target is singular, teach the robot by associating with the given target location an assigned joint-values solution.
