    摘要: A mechanism for optimizing behavior of an autonomous mobile robotic device. A first set of robotic behaviors is created based on a set of work area parameters and a behavior selection. The autonomous mobile robotic device is controlled using the first set of robotic behaviors. Performance data indicative of a performance of the autonomous mobile robotic device when controlled by the first set of robotic behaviors is collected. The performance data is analyzed to create a second set of robotic behaviors having enhanced performance relative to the first set of robotic behaviors. The first set of robotic behaviors is replaced with the second set of robotic behaviors to control the autonomous mobile robotic device using the second set of robotic behaviors.

    摘要: An offline programming device in which a path for preventing interference may be automatically inserted such that a welding robot does not interfere with a jig clamping a workpiece to be welded. The models of the robot, the workpiece and the clamp jig are indicated on a display for determining the path for preventing interference. A simulation is carried out to judge that interference with the jig may occur. When it is judged that interference will occur, data of the preventing path suitable for a straight path passing through the jig are read out from a library including registered preventing paths corresponding to shapes of various jigs. The data of the preventing path includes the three-dimensional data of each point of the path as the incremental value in relation to a reference point of the path. Also, the orientation of a welding torch is registered. The corrected welding program may be downloaded to the actual robot so as to correct the uploaded offline program by using a test result in the actual robot.

    摘要: A robot off-line simulation apparatus that allows a person to know an optimum placement for a robot (1), and operation margin index, etc. before going to an actual working site. Provisional robot placing positions are selected using data about a given sequence of task points (operation path), etc. the conditions for selection are (i) that solution to the inverse kinematics should be found regarding the entire sequence of task points, (ii) that the robot (1) should not interfere with a peripheral device (37), and (iii) that regarding all the axes of the robot, the operation margin index should satisfy a criterion value. Simulation is performed according to operation programs under the condition that the robot is placed at each of the provisional placing positions, where data about cycle time, duty, energy value, change in acceleration/speed, etc. is collected. Using the collected data, evaluation of operation is performed regarding each of the provisional placing positions, and those provisional placing positions which allow good operation are identified as placing positions ensuring the robot operation. Further, using an evaluation function in which each aspect is given a weighting, the placing positions ensuring the robot operation are reduced to optimum placing positions ensuring the robot operation.
