Abstract
The articulated-arm robot has a robot arm with an arm element movable via a joint and a sensor for continuously measuring a status parameter of the joint. The articulated-arm robot also has an optical signaling device arranged on the robot arm in spatial assignment to the joint and an assessment device for continuously assessing the measured status parameter in a joint-specific manner and for controlling the signaling device on the basis of the assessment result.
Claims15
An articulated-arm robot, comprising:
- a robot arm with an arm member that is movable by way of a joint;
- a sensor for continuously measuring a status parameter of the joint;
- an optical signaling device attached to the robot arm, wherein the optical signaling device is separated from the joint by a distance from the joint, and wherein the optical signaling device is assigned to the joint;
- an assessment device for continuously assessing the measured status parameter in a joint-specific manner and for controlling the optical signaling device on the basis of a result of the assessment, said assessment device being disposed in the joint or on the robot arm;
- and
- a teaching device for teaching a sequence of movements of the robot arm by manually guiding the robot arm and evaluating the measured status parameter,
- wherein the assessment device is set up to control the optical signaling device during the teaching on the basis of the measured status parameter.
