# System and method for teaching a robot program

## Abstract

A system and method for teaching a robot program based on user input. In some embodiments, poses of a posing device manipulated by a user are captured and analyzed. In some embodiments, robot instructions are determined by a machine-learning algorithm that is trained on data concerning previously executed instructions evaluated by a user. In some embodiments, a user-selected process type defines workpiece geometry types for guiding the creation of robot instructions. In some embodiments, an augmented- or virtual-reality user interface is provided for obtaining user input.
