Computer interface system for a robotic system

An interface system for interactively operating and controlling a robotic system by an operator, comprising:

• an interactive computer environment having:
• interface software operating on the interactive computer environment and having engineering data stored on a computer memory and containing operating information relating to the robotic system, said interface software being adapted to automatically adjust control of the robotic system in real-time in response to predetermined varying conditions surrounding and affecting motion and control of the robotic system and controls from said operator in response to the engineering data;
• and
• a graphical user interface for interfacing said operator with said computer environment, said graphical user interface having a menu with at least one interface module with preprogrammed sensory media associated with robotic events of said robotic system, said sensory media operative to provide said operator with instantaneous continuous motion control interaction of the robotic system and specific tasks and operations associated with the robotic system.

A computer-readable medium for causing an interactive computer to function as an interface system for interactively operating and controlling a robotic system by an operator, comprising:

• a computer-readable storage medium;
• and
• a computer program stored on said storage medium, said computer program preprogrammed to process engineering data stored on a computer memory and having operation information relating to the robotic system, said computer program adapted to access in real-time a database containing preprogrammed sensory media associated with said engineering data and actual robotic events of the robotic system;
• said computer program being preprogrammed to automatically adjust control of the robotic system in real-time in response to predetermined varying conditions surrounding and affecting motion and control of the robot system and controls from said operator and in response to the engineering data;
• said computer program having a graphical user interface module for interfacing said operator with said computer program and said sensory media, said graphical user interface module including a menu with interface modules associated with said preprogrammed sensory media;
• said preprogrammed sensory media being adapted to interface said operator with said robotic system to interactively operate and control said robotic system in real-time and to instantaneously perform continuous motion control interaction of the robotic system and to perform specific tasks and operations associated with the robotic system.
