Abstract
A displaying method of a robot simulator for intuitively recognizing the working direction of a tool is provided. A displaying method on a robot simulator includes displaying a real image of a robot to mount a tool at an end effector of a robot arm, displaying a tool coordinate system indicating an operating direction of the tool at the end effector of the robot arm which is displayed in the displaying of the real image of the robot, displaying a virtual reality (VR) image having a three-dimension image at the end effector of the robot arm which is displayed in the displaying of the real image of the robot.
Claims14
A displaying method on a robot simulator, the displaying method comprising:
- displaying an image of a robot to mount a tool at an end effector of a robot arm;
- displaying a tool coordinate system indicating an operating direction of the tool at the end effector of the robot arm which is displayed in the displaying of the image of the robot;
- and
- displaying a virtual reality (VR) image having a three-dimensional image at the end effector of the robot arm which is displayed in the displaying of the image of the robot,
- wherein the displaying of the VR image includes:
- displaying the VR image in a form of a hand image to intuitively display a working direction of the tool,
- wherein the displaying of the VR image includes:
- displaying the hand image so that the hand image overlaps with at least a portion of the tool coordinate system,
- wherein the displaying of the tool coordinate system includes:
- displaying the tool coordinate system with an X axis, a Y axis, and a Z axis perpendicular to one another in a three dimensional space,
- wherein the displaying of the tool coordinate system includes:
- setting the Z axis to be a lengthwise direction of the tool,
- wherein the displaying of the VR image further includes:
- matching the tool coordinate system to a direction of the hand image,
- wherein the matching of the tool coordinate system to the direction includes:
- displaying, as the X axis, a direction that a palm of the hand image indicates;
- displaying, as the Y axis, a direction that a thumb of the hand image indicates;
- and
- displaying, as the Z axis, a direction that remaining fingers of the hand image except for the thumb indicate.
