Abstract
A generation method of generating a motion control program for a robot includes displaying a plurality of parameters relating to a motion of a human, receiving a selection of an imitation parameter as the parameter to be imitated by the robot from the displayed plurality of parameters, and generating the motion control program with reference to the motion of the human corresponding to the received imitation parameter.
Claims7
A control method for causing a processor to execute a program stored in a memory, the control method comprising executing on the processor the steps of:
- capturing a motion image of a human by a camera while a teaching operation is conducted by the human, a pressure sensor being attached at a hand of the human;
- obtaining depth information of the human in the motion image;
- obtaining a detection signal from the pressure sensor, the detection signal corresponding to a force value applied to a workpiece by the hand of the human while the teaching operation is conducted;
- generating a plurality of parameters relating to the teaching operation based on the motion image, the depth information, and the detection signal;
- displaying the plurality of parameters;
- receiving a selection of an imitation parameter from the displayed plurality of parameters, the imitation parameter being imitated by a robot;
- generating a motion control program with reference to the teaching operation of the human corresponding to the received imitation parameter;
- and
- causing the robot to perform a robot operation on the workpiece, the robot operation corresponding to the teaching operation.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to execute a process by a processor so as to perform the steps of:
- capturing a motion image of a human by a camera while a teaching operation is conducted by the human, a pressure sensor being attached at a hand of the human;
- obtaining depth information of the human in the motion image;
- obtaining a detection signal from the pressure sensor, the detection signal corresponding to a force value applied to a workpiece by the hand of the human while the teaching operation is conducted;
- generating a plurality of parameters relating to the teaching operation based on the motion image, the depth information, and the detection signal;
- displaying the plurality of parameters on a display;
- receiving a selection of an imitation parameter from the displayed plurality of parameters, the imitation parameter being imitated by a robot;
- generating a motion control program with reference to the teaching operation of the human corresponding to the received imitation parameter;
- and
- causing the robot to perform a robot operation on the workpiece, the robot operation corresponding to the teaching operation.
A control system comprising:
- a memory configured to store a program;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the program so as to:
- capture a motion image of a human by a camera while a teaching operation is conducted by the human, a pressure sensor being attached at a hand of the human;
- obtain depth information of the human in the motion image;
- obtain a detection signal from the pressure sensor, the detection signal corresponding to a force value applied to a workpiece by the hand of the human while the teaching operation is conducted;
- generate a plurality of parameters relating to the teaching operation based on the motion image, the depth information, and the detection signal;
- display the plurality of parameters on a display;
- receive a selection of an imitation parameter from the displayed plurality of parameters, the imitation parameter being imitated by a robot;
- generate a motion control program with reference to the teaching operation of the human corresponding to the received imitation parameter;
- and
- cause the robot to perform a robot operation on the workpiece, the robot operation corresponding to the teaching operation.
