Abstract

A method for automatically ascertaining an input command for a robot, wherein the input command is entered by manually exerting an external force onto the robot. The input command is ascertained on the basis of the joint force component attempting to cause a movement of the robot in only one robot joint coordinate sub-space which is specific to the input command. The joint forces are imprinted with the external force.
