2020 Current Robotics Reports  
Purpose of Review The review presents an overview of advanced robot programming approaches which aims to ease robot programming and speed up the deployment of industrial robots, and then some considerations are shared with respect to requirements in new trends of manufacturing. Recent Findings The new trend of customization along with Industry 4.0 is appearing which is a challenge for robotized systems. The bottleneck is mainly the efficiency of deployment of industrial robots because
