Abstract

A method for setting up and/or calibrating a robot positioned in a work environment at an operation site, wherein a predetermined routine is carried out for the purposes of setting up and/or calibration. The method includes the steps of generating the routine for the robot at a simulation site distant from the operation site; after completing the generation of the routine, transmitting the routine to a control unit of the robot at the operation site; calling up the routine and remotely executing the routine at the operation site via a control center located remotely from the operation site; and, after the start of the generated routine, allowing the generated routine to automatically process without intervention by an operator at the operation site.
