Description

Teaching system and corresponding method Technical Field Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to the field of industry, and more particularly, to a teaching system for a robot and a corresponding method applicable thereto. Background In the manufacturing industry, the spraying robot can be used for spraying the car body so as to improve the spraying efficiency and the spraying quality. In the household electrical appliance manufacturing industry, the spraying robot can be applied to spraying operations of household electrical appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators and washing machines, and the spraying efficiency and quality are improved. In addition, the spraying robot can be applied to the fields of furniture manufacturing, electronic product manufacturing, building industry and the like. The teaching process of the painting robot is time consuming and costly. Traditional painting robot programming works, requiring experienced robot engineers to spend a full day manually planning the motion path. In addition, engineers cannot intuitively see the spraying effect in the path planning stage, and often take a plurality of days to adjust the path and the technological parameters so as to achieve the ideal spraying effect. Meanwhile, the time-consuming teaching process makes it difficult for small enterprises with orders of hundreds to introduce the spraying robot to carry out the operation.
