Abstract
When teaching a robot, at least one processor brings a first object and a second object into contact with each other with a first force by using the robot, and generates teaching data based on the contact. When causing the robot to perform an operation according to the teaching data, the at least one processor causes the first object and the second object to be fitted to each other with a second force greater than the first force, by using the robot.
Claims15
A control method for controlling a robot having a force detector by at least one processor, comprising:
- by the at least one processor,
- bringing a first object and a second object into contact with each other with a first force by using the robot, and generating teaching data based on the contact, when teaching the robot, and
- fitting the first object and the second object to each other with a second force greater than the first force, by using the robot, when causing the robot to perform an operation according to the teaching data,
- wherein the teaching data is generated based on the contact on a plurality of relative positions of the first object and the second object, and
- wherein the bringing the first object and the second object into contact is in a first direction in which the first object and the second object are brought close to each other from each relative position of the plurality of relative positions, and
- wherein the plurality of relative positions are positions in a two-dimensional direction that intersects the first direction.
A controller which performs a fitting work between a first object and a second object that can be fitted to the first object, and controls a robot having a force detector, the controller comprising:
- at least one processor,
- wherein when teaching the robot, the at least one processor is configured to bring a first object and a second object into contact with each other with a first force by using the robot, and the at least one processor is configured to generate teaching data based on the contact,
- wherein when causing the robot to perform a fitting operation according to the teaching data, the at least one processor is configured to cause the first object and the second object to be fitted to each other with a second force greater than the first force, by using the robot,
- wherein the teaching data is generated based on the contact on a plurality of relative positions of the first object and the second object,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to perform the contact in a first direction in which the first object and the second object are brought close to each other from each relative position of the plurality of relative positions, and
- wherein the plurality of relative positions are positions in a two-dimensional direction that intersects the first direction.
