Abstract
A robot system includes a robot and a control portion. The robot includes a contact detection portion configured to output a signal in accordance with contact performed by a user. The control portion is configured to control resistance of the robot applied to the user when the user moves the robot, in accordance with a number of contact positions at which the user contacts the robot, based on a signal from the contact detection portion.
Claims17
A robot system comprising:
- a robot including a contact detection portion configured to output a signal in accordance with contact performed by a user;
- and
- a control portion,
- wherein the control portion is configured to control resistance of the robot applied to the user when the user moves the robot, in accordance with a number of contact positions at which the user contacts the robot, based on the signal from the contact detection portion.
A method of controlling a robot system, the robot system including a robot including a contact detection portion that outputs a signal in accordance with contact performed by a user, and a control portion,
- the method comprising:
- controlling, by the control portion, resistance of the robot applied to the user when the user moves the robot, in accordance with a number of contact positions at which the user contacts the robot, based on the signal from the contact detection portion.
A method of teaching a robot system, the robot system including a robot including a contact detection portion that outputs a signal in accordance with contact performed by a user, and a control portion,
- the method comprising:
- obtaining, by the control portion, a trajectory of the robot based on movement of the robot performed by the user while the control portion controls resistance of the robot applied to the user when the user moves the robot, in accordance with a number of contact positions at which the user contacts the robot, based on the signal from the contact detection portion.
A method of manufacturing products by operating a robot system, the robot system including a robot including a contact detection portion that outputs a signal in accordance with contact performed by a user, and a control portion,
- the method comprising:
- obtaining, by the control portion, a trajectory of the robot based on movement of the robot performed by the user while the control portion controls resistance of the robot applied to the user when the user moves the robot, in accordance with a number of contact positions at which the user contacts the robot, based on the signal from the contact detection portion, and
- moving, by the control portion, the robot along the trajectory.
