Robot posture determination device, method, and program

A non-transitory storage medium storing a robot posture determination program, executable by a computer including a processor to function as:

• the processor configured to acquire work information related to work to be performed by a robot having a hand part, grasping information indicating a plurality of candidates for a relative positional relationship between the hand part and a workpiece to be grasped by the hand part, workpiece posture information indicating a plurality of candidates for a posture adoptable by the workpiece, and specification information including kinematics information regarding the robot;
• and
• the processor further configured to associate, for each of a plurality of target points on a path of the robot for performing the work, respective combinations of the workpiece posture information, a posture of the hand part for grasping the workpiece obtained based on the work information, the grasping information, and the workpiece posture information, and a posture of the robot according to the posture of the hand part obtained based on the posture of the hand part and the kinematics information, and search for a sequence of the combinations that will result in a shortest operation time of the robot based on an index related to an operation time of the robot between the postures of the robot, from sequences of the combinations that are transitionable between the target points.
