Abstract: China has become the largest consumer of industrial robots in the world, but the gap of related technical talents is expanding year by year. The important reason is the high cost and dangerous operation of industrial robots, which leads to difficulties in teaching and programming of robots. To solve this problem, based on HTC Vive (a VR device jointly developed by HTC and VALVE), a virtual industrial robot teaching programming system is developed by combining virtual reality (VR) technology with robot teaching programming. First, the VR environment characteristics of the system is analyzed, and a three-dimensional UI (User Interface) designed for the main interface interaction of the system. Then the kinematic modeling of the robot is carried out to realize the teaching method of dragging the robot directly. Using lexical analysis, syntax analysis and sentence execution mechanism, the virtual interpreter is developed, and the program editing mode of inserting instructions quickly is realized. Finally, the system realizes the robot instruction programming function which can carry out complex trajectory motion. Experimental tests show that the system has good interactivity and can be used for virtual robot teaching and programming. The system is safe to operate, and can reduce the cost of robot teaching and programming, contribute to the training of robot related talents, provide solutions for robot simulation in industrial production, and help the development of China’s manufacturing industry.

Key words: virtual reality, robot teaching, robot programming, HTC Vive
