Hello! I was wondering if this can be done or if anybody already tried to program KUKA robot with lead through like on this video: The easy way of programming ABB robots I was thinking with option with soft servo mode on all axes, but define the parameters curr_red so that axis 2 and 3 don't fall down.
Any opinions or solution are welcome
Lead through programming with KUKA

KUKA has a package that does this, utilizing SafeOperation and RSI with a joystick mounted to the end effector. Moving the robot around via a force-torque sensor in the tool probably wouldn't be too much of a stretch.
Trying to use Torque Mode won't work, b/c you can't have that active while jogging the robot and teaching points. The ABB in that video is obviously using a force-torque sensor (well, given the operator's actions, probably only force, no torque). That would not normally be safe, so there must also be ABB's equivalent of SafeOperation involved.

I agree. With RSI you mean Robot Sensor Interface? Connect the force sensor on the tool with RSI. And what would be purpose for using Safe Operation? What about Force Control package?

Force-Torque Control (FTC) is simply a specific application of RSI.
SafeOperation would be required b/c RSI/FTC can only control the robot while the robot is active in Auto mode. Having a human operator within physical reach of the robot under these conditions would be entirely unsafe without also using SafeOperation.
As I recall, the KUKA package with the tool-mounted joystick added some menus to the HMI to allow points to be recorded or touched up while the robot was in this condition.
