Abstract
An operation apparatus configured to communicate with a robot controller for controlling a robot, acquire a pressed state of an enable switch, display a virtual robot corresponding to the robot in a virtual environment, and operate the robot or the virtual robot by an operation of the operation apparatus, includes a determination unit configured to determine the pressed state of the enable switch, and a processing unit configured to issue a switching instruction to switch between a state in which the robot is operated and a state in which the virtual robot is operated, depending on a determination of the pressed state of the enable switch determined by the determination unit.
Claims22
An operation apparatus configured to communicate with a robot controller for controlling a robot, acquire a pressed state of an enable switch, display a virtual robot corresponding to the robot in a virtual environment, and operate the robot or the virtual robot, the enable switch being a three-position switch, the operation apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor causes the operation apparatus to function as:
- a determination unit configured to determine the pressed state of the enable switch;
- and
- a mode execution unit configured to execute a first mode in a case where the pressed state of the enable switch determined by the determination unit is a first step or a third step, or execute a second mode in a case where the pressed state of the enable switch determined by the determination unit is a second step, the first mode being a mode in which the virtual robot displayed is operable but the robot is not operable, the second mode being a mode in which the robot is operable.
A control method of an operation apparatus configured to operate a robot, including a determination unit configured to determine a pressed state of an enable switch, and configured to operate the robot or a virtual robot, the enable switch being a three-position switch, the control method comprising:
- displaying the virtual robot corresponding to the robot in a virtual environment;
- and
- executing a first mode in a case where the pressed state of the enable switch determined by the determination unit is a first step or a third step, or executing a second mode in a case where the pressed state of the enable switch determined by the determination unit is a second step, the first mode being a mode in which the virtual robot displayed is operable but the robot is not operable, the second mode being a mode in which the robot is operable.
