A method and a system for programming an industrial robot

A method in connection with programming of an industrial robot, comprising teaching the robot a path having a number of way-points located on or in the vicinity of an object (3) to be proc-essed by the robot. The method comprises: obtaining an image of the object, obtaining information about the position of a point-ing member (1) pointing at points on or in the vicinity of the ob-ject, determining the position of the points in relation to the ob-ject based upon said obtained information, storing the point be-ing presently pointed out as a waypoint upon receiving a re-cording signal, generating a graphical representation of the stored waypoint and the point being presently pointed at by the pointing member, and displaying a view comprising the object (3) and said graphical representation projected on the object based on the image of the object and the generated graphical representation of the points.A system for use in connection the method, comprising: a point-ing member (1) adapted for pointing out points on or in the vicin-ity of the object, position determining means, determining the position of said points in relation to the object, a camera (8) adapted for delivering an image of the object (3) and the point-ing member, a graphical generator, generating graphics by means of a computer, and a display member (12), displaying a view comprising the object and said graphical representation projected on the object, and an activating member.
