Method and a system for programming an industrial robot

A method in connection with programming of an industrial robot, comprising teaching the robot a path having a number of waypoints located on or in the vicinity of an object to be processed by the robot, the method comprising:

• obtaining information about the position of the waypoints in relation to the object;
• storing the information about the position of the waypoints;
• simulating the robot path based on the received information about the waypoints and a model of the robot;
• generating a graphical representation of the robot path based on the simulated robot path;
• displaying a view comprising the object and said graphical representation of the robot path projected on the object;
• obtaining information about a process to be performed by the robot in connection with the robot path;
• simulating the result of the process based upon the obtained information about the waypoints, the obtained information about the process and a model of the process;
• generating a graphical representation of the simulated result of the process;
• displaying a view showing the graphical representation of the simulated result of the process projected on the object;
• simulating the quality of the result of the process based on one or a plurality of predefined quality parameters and the model of the process;
• generating a graphical representation of the quality of the result of the process;
• and
• displaying the view based on the generated graphical representation of the simulation of the quality of the result of the process.
