    摘要: A robot control device includes an obtaining unit that obtains, from an image sensor that captures a workpiece group to be handled by a robot, a captured image, a simulation unit that simulates operation of the robot, and a control unit that performs control such that the captured image is obtained if, in the simulation, the robot is retracted from an image capture forbidden space, in which an image is potentially captured with the workpiece group and the robot overlapping each other, and which is set based on either or both a first space being the visual field range of the image sensor, and a columnar second space obtained by taking a workpiece region including the workpiece group or each of divided regions into which the workpiece region is divided, as a bottom area, and extending the bottom area to the position of the image sensor.

    摘要: A path planning apparatus is provided with a path planning unit that generates a path of a robot using a plurality of different path planning methods that respectively correspond to a plurality of different constraints determined from the posture of the robot and the characteristics of one or more obstacles that obstruct movement of the robot, an acquisition unit that acquires posture information indicating an initial posture of a robot for which a path is to be generated and a target posture of the robot, and obstacle information indicating a target obstacle that obstructs movement of the robot from the initial posture to the target posture, and a controller that controls the path planning unit so as to generate a path of the robot using a path planning method corresponding to a constraint determined from the posture information and the obstacle information acquired by the acquisition unit.

    摘要: A simulation apparatus includes a processor that executes a simulation of a control program executed on a controller. The controller controls motion of a machine that handles an object. The processor includes: a motion control device that controls motion of a virtual machine based on a motion command to move the virtual machine in a virtual space, with the virtual machine corresponding to the machine; a determination device that determines whether a volume of a region, where a work space in which the virtual machine works overlaps with the virtual object, is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference value, the virtual object being handled by the virtual machine and corresponding to the object; and a follow-up device that makes the virtual object follow the motion of the virtual machine based on the motion command when the volume is equal to or greater than the reference value.
