Easy to Use Graphical User Interface for Robot Programming

Abstract: The field of robotics is growing rapidly due to the demand of robotic labor, but it is still relatively complicated for someone unexperienced to program a robot. In this project we have developed a web-based graphical user interface and scripting language for programming robot arms. The goal was to make the user interface so easy to use that people with no previous experience can use it to program the robots. The finished product is a web-based drag and drop application which generates robot control code in FeatherScript, a scripting language built by us for this project. The graphical user interface satisfies all technical requirements and from a survey on user experience we can conclude that the GUI is easy to use.
