Abstract:
A robot system is provided, which includes a robot, a controller for controlling an operation of the robot, and a sensor for detecting a person entering into a delivery area where the robot and the person deliver an object therebetween. When the sensor detects the person entering into the delivery area, the controller sets to the delivery area a first restricted area where the operation of the robot is restricted, and controls the robot based on the first restricted area.
Abstract:
This robot teaching system includes a teaching tool including an operation portion operated by a user to specify teaching positions and specifying the teaching positions, a measuring portion measuring positions and postures of the teaching tool, and a control portion determining the teaching positions for a robot. The robot teaching system is configured to specify the teaching positions continuously while the user operates the operation portion of the teaching tool.
Abstract:
A programming support apparatus includes: a storage device configured to store work jobs each of which defines operation pattern of a robot; and circuitry configured to: set an environmental condition of the robot at one or more execution timings associated with the work jobs in accordance with user input; select a plurality of the work jobs in accordance with the user input; and check whether at least one work job of the plurality of work jobs satisfies the environmental condition of the robot at an execution timing of the one work job based on an execution flow of the plurality of work jobs.
Abstract:
A method of generating a robot operation command includes extracting a work command from an overall work flow; extracting, from a command definition database, a command definition corresponding to the extracted work command, the work command having been read; generating, by referring to the read work command, a set of unit jobs in which at least one work command is arranged in order, based on the extracted command definition; generating, for a plurality of unit jobs, a connecting job for causing a robot to be moved from an end position of a previous unit job to a start position of a subsequent unit job; and generating a robot operation command in which the unit jobs and the connecting job are continuous.
