Abstract
Provided is a highly safe robot system. A robot system includes: an arm operation control unit that controls operations of an arm; and a storage unit that records hazardous part information related to at least any one of a grip unit of the arm and a work target gripped with the grip unit, and the arm operation control unit causes the arm to operate such that the hazardous direction of the hazardous part is different from a moving direction of the grip unit on the basis of the hazardous part information.
Claims16
A robot system comprising:
- an arm operation control unit that controls operations of an arm;
- and
- a storage unit that records hazardous part information related to a first position of a first hazardous part and a first hazardous direction of a grip unit of the arm and a second position of a second hazardous part and a second hazardous direction of a work target gripped by the grip unit, wherein the first hazardous part comprises a first protrusion having a first tip and the first hazardous direction is a direction to which the first tip of the first protrusion faces to,
- wherein in response to determining that the first hazardous part of the grip unit is oriented to have the first hazardous direction that faces a moving direction of the grip unit, the arm operation control unit causes the arm to operate in a manner that the first hazardous direction of the first hazardous part is different from the moving direction of the grip unit on the basis of the hazardous part information.
