Abstract
A control device includes: a processor that is configured to execute computer-executable instructions so as to control a robot provided with a force sensor, wherein the processor is configured to display a first detection result in which specific position information indicating a specific position of the robot and force information output from a force sensor correspond to each other on a display, in a case where robot inspects an operation component that outputs an electric signal corresponding to an operation.
Claims18
A control device comprising:
- a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions and a temporal reception deviation amount;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the computer-executable instructions so as to control a robot provided with a force sensor,
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- receive, at a first time, specific position information indicating a specific position of the robot, the specific position corresponding to a rotation angle of a motor provided in a joint of the robot;
- receive, at a second time, force information output from the force sensor when the processor causes the robot to perform an inspection with respect to an operation component;
- receive, at a third time, an electric signal from the operation component when the processor causes the robot to perform the inspection with respect to the operation component;
- read out the temporal reception deviation amount from the memory, the temporal reception deviation amount corresponding to a difference between a first reference receiving time of the specific position information and a second reference receiving time of the force information output;
- correlate the specific position information with the force information output by adjusting a time difference between the first time and the second time by adding or subtracting the temporal reception deviation amount to either the first time or the second time so as to provide a first detection result;
- and
- display the first detection result on a display when the processor causes the robot to perform the inspection with respect to the operation component.
