Abstract
A robot operating device includes a camera that is attached to a distal end of a robot arm or a position adjacent to the distal end and that acquires an image; a display which displays the image acquired by the camera; an operation-accepting unit which accepts an operation that is performed by an operator on the image displayed on the display unit; and a controller which moves the robot arm based on the operation accepted by the operation-accepting unit.
Claims10
A robot operating device comprising:
- a camera that is attached to a distal end of a robot arm or a position adjacent to the distal end and that is configured to acquires an image;
- a touchscreen display that is configured to displays the image acquired by the camera and receives a tap operation or a swipe operation performed by an operator on the image displayed on the touchscreen display;
- and
- a controller which is configured to moves, just after the tap operation or the swipe operation, the robot arm based on a difference between a tapped position of the tap operation and a predetermined position in the image displayed on the touchscreen or based on swipe amount of a finger in the swipe operation received by the touchscreen display, wherein the touchscreen display is further configured to continue, during movement of the robot arm based on the tap operation or the swipe operation, to display the image which is acquired by the camera and which changes in response to the movement of the robot arm.

A robot operating method comprising:
- acquiring an image with a camera attached to a distal end of a robot arm or a position adjacent to the distal end;
- displaying, on a touchscreen display, the image acquired by the camera;
- receiving a position of a touch operation performed by an operator on the displayed image or a swipe amount of a finger in a swipe operation performed by the operator on the displayed image;
- and
- moving, just after the tap operation or the swipe operation, the robot arm based on a difference between a tapped position of the tap operation and a predetermined position in the image displayed on the touchscreen or based on the swipe amount of the finger in the swipe operation wherein the touchscreen display continues, during movement of the robot arm based on the tap operation or the swipe operation, to display the image which is acquired by the camera and which changes in response to the movement of the robot arm.
