Method of supporting creation of program, program creation supporting apparatus, and storage medium

A program creation supporting apparatus supporting creation of a program for work by a robot, the apparatus comprising:

• an input device detecting an operation by a user;
• a display device displaying an image;
• and
• a control circuit determining a type of the work by the operation to select the type, displaying a dedicated motion flow showing a sequence of motion of the robot corresponding to the type and containing a dedicated object showing the motion for which a change of the sequence of the motion of the robot is not allowed on the display device, and converting the dedicated object into a versatile object showing the motion for which a change of the sequence of the motion of the robot is allowed by the operation to convert the dedicated object.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program creation supporting program for supporting creation of a program for work by a robot, the program for controlling a computer to execute processing comprising:

• detecting an operation by a user on an input device;
• determining a type of the work by the operation to select the type;
• displaying a dedicated motion flow showing a sequence of motion of the robot corresponding to the type and containing a dedicated object showing the motion for which a change of the sequence of the motion of the robot is not allowed on a display device;
• and
• converting the dedicated object into a versatile object showing the motion for which a change of the sequence of the motion of the robot is allowed by the operation to convert the dedicated object.
