I think training a robot arm and training a bot by jogging (via
keyboard/joystick etc is quite different? In training a robot arm,
one moves the arm (or other motion control system like a cnc mill)
manually and the software have to be able to record the moves, but in
jogging, easiest example I can think of, say using MDI, the software
will have a record of the G-codes required, and all is needed is to
tweak the software to record them? Input programmers please. A
controller software with training capability is very useful and I
hope some programmer will find this challenging to cook up one for us.
