Method and Apparatus for Managing Robot Program

An apparatus for controlling a robot system, comprising:

• an importing unit configured to import a robot program for controlling a motion path of the robot system, the motion path being used for processing a first workpiece into a second workpiece, and the robot program comprising a variable for representing a parameter for controlling a feature of the motion path;
• a providing unit configured to provide an interface for controlling the robot system;
• and
• an updating unit configured to, in response to receiving an input from the interface for adjusting the parameter, update the robot program based on the input.

A method for generating a robot program for generating a robot program, comprising:

• obtaining a process definition for defining a procedure of the robot system to process a first workpiece into a second workpiece;
• determining from the obtained process definition a parameter for controlling a feature of a motion path of the robot system, the motion path being used for processing the first workpiece into the second workpiece;
• and
• generating a robot program for controlling the motion path based on the obtained process definition and the determined parameter, the robot program comprising a variable for adjusting the parameter.
