Abstract
A technique allows verification of a robot operation without any cost for an additional robot or for a person entering a monitoring area. A robot control system includes a monitored robot for which a monitoring area is defined and a robot controller that controls the monitored robot in a plurality of modes including a first mode to change an operation of the monitored robot in response to an object detected in the monitoring area being a robot.
Claims10
A robot control system, comprising:
- a monitored robot for which a monitoring area is defined;
- and
- a robot controller configured to control the monitored robot in a plurality of modes including a first mode to change or continue an operation of the monitored robot and a second mode to continue the operation of the monitored robot,
- wherein the robot controller controls the monitored robot to stop the operation of the monitored robot in response to an object detected in the monitoring area being an autonomous robot and an operation mode of the monitored robot being the first mode,
- the robot controller controls the monitored robot to continue the operation of the monitored robot in response to the object detected in the monitoring area being the autonomous robot and the operation mode of the monitored robot being the second mode, and
- the robot controller controls the monitored robot to stop the operation of the monitored robot in response to the object detected in the monitoring area being not the autonomous robot.

An information processor, comprising:
- an obtaining controller configured to obtain an output signal indicating detection of an object in a monitoring area defined for a monitored robot;
- and
- a robot controller configured to control the monitored robot in a plurality of modes including a first mode to change or continue an operation of the monitored robot and a second mode to continue the operation of the monitored robot,
- wherein the robot controller controls the monitored robot to stop the operation of the monitored robot in response to an object detected in the monitoring area being an autonomous robot and an operation mode of the monitored robot being the first mode,
- the robot controller controls the monitored robot to continue the operation of the monitored robot in response to the object detected in the monitoring area being the autonomous robot and the operation mode of the monitored robot being the second mode, and
- the robot controller controls the monitored robot to stop the operation of the monitored robot in response to the object detected in the monitoring area being not the autonomous robot.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a process, comprising:
- obtaining an output signal indicating detection of an object in a monitoring area defined for a monitored robot;
- controlling the monitored robot in a plurality of modes including a first mode to change or continue an operation of the monitored robot and a second mode to continue the operation of the monitored robot;
- and
- controlling the monitored robot to stop the operation of the monitored robot in response to an object detected in the monitoring area being an autonomous robot and an operation mode of the monitored robot being the first mode,
- controlling the monitored robot to continue the operation of the monitored robot in response to the object detected in the monitoring area being the autonomous robot and the operation mode of the monitored robot being the second mode, and
- controlling the monitored robot to stop the operation of the monitored robot in response to the object detected in the monitoring area being not the autonomous robot.
