Traditional Robot Programming vs. Wandelbots Teaching

12 March, 2023

We placed robot programming and Wandelbots Teaching side-by-side so you can see the clear differences between them and decide what works best for you.

The complexity of robot programming

Here’s how robots are typically programmed: First, you design structures for the paths the robot should follow to perform a task. Next, you write a series of codes or commands to serve as instructions for the robot. Depending on your desired application, you also have to create programs for the end-of-arm tools or robot peripherals required. The entire process can take several hours to complete and usually requires a collaboration between a robot expert and an application expert.

This was the go-to method for creating robot applications for decades mainly because there were no alternatives that proved to be as effective.

Now, the technology behind robotics is evolving and you need a future-proof solution that makes robotics easier for end-users.

The advantages of Wandelbots Teaching

Wandelbots Teaching differs from traditional robot programming in that it involves creating robot applications by mere demonstration rather than writing codes. This important distinction implies that everyone, irrespective of their technical backgrounds, can have access to robotics with only a fraction of the time and cost needed for traditional robot programming. The graphical user interface of the Wandelbots App also makes this no-code solution an easy and fun method to work with robots.

With Wandelbots Teaching, you can teach a robot a new skill simply by performing the task yourself – no experts or codes needed. Your hand gestures are recorded in real-time and automatically converted into a language that your robots can understand.
