Abstract
An embodiment includes a robotic welding system for generating a motion program, having a programmable robot controller of a robot having a computer processor and a computer memory. The programmable robot controller is configured to digitally record, in the computer memory, a plurality of spatial points along an operator path in a 3D space taken by a calibrated tool center point (TCP) of the robot as an operator manually moves a robot arm of the robot along the operator path from a start point to a destination point within the 3D space. The programmable robot controller is also configured to identify and eliminate extraneous spatial points from the plurality of spatial points as digitally recorded, leaving a subset of the plurality of spatial points as digitally recorded, where the extraneous spatial points are a result of extraneous movements of the robot arm by the operator.
