Abrégé

A method for controlling a movement of a robot (110). The method comprises presenting one of a first canvas and a second canvas as an operating canvas on a screen of a terminal device (130). In this case, the first canvas is associated with at least one dimension of the three dimensions of a first coordinate system of the robot (110) and the second canvas is associated with other one or more dimensions of the three dimensions. The method further comprises receiving an input of a swipe on the operating canvas. The method further comprises generating a movement instruction for controlling the robot (110) to move with reference to the first coordinate system based on the swipe. In this way, the movement control mechanism only requests intuitive gestures of the users so that the user can operate on the operating canvas while observing the environment around the robot (110) thereby increasing operation safety of the robot (110).

Disclosed is a method to determine a jerk-limited movement profile without the use of a downstream jerk filter. A movement profile consists of a starting movement profile and a target movement profile, wherein the starting movement profile starts at the starting movement phase and transitions into the target movement profile. The target movement profile is determined with an acceleration profile over a plurality of control time steps, wherein an acceleration change in each control time step maximally corresponds to a predefined maximum jerk, such that the acceleration profile of the target movement profile is provided as a step function. The step function is created while maintaining the predefined movement limits such that the area below the step function corresponds to a speed change between the beginning speed of the beginning movement phase and the target speed of the target movement phase.
