As robot programming moves from the domain of the teach box to that of a language several new demands for data arise. For example the programmer needs access to the geometry and physical properties of the parts to be manipulated. In addition he needs similar data with respect to the machine tools fixtures and the robot itself. One possible source for this is the data already captured in CAD CAM data bases. One can assume that complete geometrical and functional information for the robot itself the things the robot must manipulate and the things in its environment are contained in these data bases. As robot programming evolves an interest has developed in computer-aided robot programming CARP done at interactive graphics terminals. In such a modality the robot motions in manipulating parts would be done in a fashion similar to that used for graphic numerical control programming. Such experiments are under way and early demonstrations have been shown by Automatix and GCA Corporation.

Thus robot controllers must access other data bases and communicate with other factory systems. Research on the link to CAD CAM systems and the other issues above is under way at NBS and other research facilities but major efforts are needed to achieve results. Robot Programming Environment As mentioned earlier second-generation languages are now available. While the community as a whole does not yet have sufficient experience with them to choose standards .
