Robot system, method, and computer program for performing scraping process

Abstract

There is a need for a technology for executing a high quality scraping process with a robot. A robot system includes a robot configured to move a scraper for scraping a surface of a workpiece and a control device configured to control the robot. The control device is configured to abut the scraper against the surface in a trajectory, which is inclined so as to form an acute angle with respect to the surface, by moving the scraper by the robot in a direction along the surface and in a direction toward the surface, and during the scraper abutting against the surface, control a position of the robot such that a pressing force, by which the robot presses the scraper against the surface, becomes a predetermined magnitude while moving the scraper by the robot in the direction along the surface, to perform the scraping process.
