Abstract:
A robot system including a force-controlled pushing device which causes, when a robot is guided and moved, an object provided at a tip end of the robot to be brought into appropriate contact with another object. The robot system includes the robot, the force-controlled pushing device, a robot operation input measuring part, a robot movement command calculating part, a pushing direction setting part, a target pushing force setting part, a force measuring part, and a force-controlled pushing device movement command calculating part. The pushing direction setting part sets a pushing direction of the force-controlled pushing device, based on at least one of: the position/orientation of the first object; a force-controlled pushing device movement command for moving the first object; the position/orientation of the movement mechanism part of the force-controlled pushing device; the position/orientation of the robot; and a robot movement command for moving the robot.
Abstract:
An operation command unit of a robot control device includes a first control mode that, when a near-singular configuration determination unit determines that a robot is not near a singular configuration, outputs an operation command for moving a position and/or a posture of the tip of the robot on the basis of an operation force calculated by a first force calculation unit and a second control mode that, when the near-singular configuration determination unit determines that the robot is near the singular configuration, outputs an operation command for moving the position of an operation axis set by an operation axis setting unit on the basis of an operation force calculated by a second force calculation unit and a moving direction set by the operation axis setting unit.
Abstract:

The robot controller includes an unit which measures a force acting between two objects, an unit which sets a direction of translational force control, an unit which sets a translational force control target force, an unit which sets an axis of rotational force control, an unit which calculates a target amount of translational force control direction movement, an unit which calculates a target amount of rotational force control axis rotational movement, an unit which calculates a target amount of rotational movement, and an unit which generates an operation command for the robot.
Abstract:
A robot controller and a robot system capable of stably changing the orientation of a front end of a robot by applying a force to the front end, and moving each axis to a desired position. The robot controller for moving the robot based on the force applied to the robot includes a control point specifying part which specifies a control point in relation to the robot, and an operation commanding part which outputs a command so that the robot performs rotational movement about the control point. The robot has a structure constituted by sequentially combining three or more axes including at least three rotation axes, and rotation centerlines of the three rotation axes intersect at an origin of a centerline-intersecting axis, the centerline-intersecting axis corresponding to one of the three rotation axes. The control point specifying part specifies the origin of the centerline-intersecting axis as the control point.
Abstract:
A robot controller for easily moving a desired axis of a robot by applying a force to a front end of the robot, and a robot system including the robot controller. The robot controller has: a force measuring part which measures a force applied to the front end; an operation force calculating part which calculates an operation force for moving each axis based on the measured force; an operation commanding part which outputs a command for moving the robot; and an operation axis specifying part which specifies an operation axis to be moved in response to the force, and determines a direction of movement of the operation axis as a function of a direction of the force. When two or more operation axes are specified, the operation axis specifying part determines as to whether or not each operation axis can be moved, depending on a status of the movement operation.

The controller includes a moment output unit that outputs a value of moment from a posture of the robot or the posture and a motion of the robot, a program storage unit that stores a motion program, a drive control unit that causes each of component parts of the robot to perform a rotating motion around the rotary shaft in accordance with the motion program, and an output calibration unit that associates a torque detection value detected by the torque sensor with the value of moment output from the moment output unit in the rotating motion of each of the component parts around the rotary shaft performed by the drive control unit.
Abstract:
A robot system includes a three-dimensional measuring device for obtaining positional information of a workpiece, a robot having a tool capable of holding a workpiece, and a control device for controlling the robot. The control device stores association data which associate the positional information of the workpiece with a center-of-gravity position of the workpiece. A center-of-gravity position of the workpiece to be picked out is estimated, based on the positional information obtained by the three-dimensional measuring device and on to the association data. The control device determines at least one of the holding position of the workpiece, the picking-out direction and the position and posture of the tool, based on the estimated center-of-gravity position.
