Abstract
A robot program generation apparatus that selects a typical arrangement pattern of a robot system; selects elements to be arranged in the arrangement pattern; automatically generates a layout where the elements in a stationary state do not interfere with each other; automatically generates a robot program in accordance with task details corresponding to the arrangement pattern and with the layout; executes the robot program in a virtual environment and automatically modifies installation positions of the elements in the layout based on whether or not the robot in an operating state interfere with any other elements and on whether or not the robot can reach a workpiece; and corrects the robot program based on the installation positions.
Claims3
A robot program generation apparatus for a robot system including at least a robot and a peripheral device, the robot program generation apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- select a typical arrangement pattern of the robot system,
- individually select elements to be arranged in the selected arrangement pattern,
- automatically generate a layout where the arranged elements in a stationary state do not interfere with each other,
- automatically generate a robot program in accordance with task details corresponding to the selected arrangement pattern and with the automatically generated layout,
- execute the automatically generated robot program in a virtual environment, and automatically modify installation positions of the arranged elements in the automatically generated layout based on whether or not the robot in an operating state interferes with any other arranged elements and on whether or not the robot can reach a workpiece, and
- correct the robot program based on the automatically modified installation positions.
