ABSTRACT
PbD is a programming paradigm (Koeppe, 2001) with the aim to avoid the cumbersome writing of a robot program as it is done in traditional programming (Biggs and MacDonald, 2003). The worker who knows how to solve a task but who is not an expert in robot programming should be enabled to just “demonstrate” the task

to the robot by taking the robot by the hand. PbD should not be confused with programming by imitation (Maeda et al., 2002; Pardowitz et al., 2007), where the user performs a task without a robot and is observed in such a way as to automatically generate a robot program that executes the same task.
