Abstract
Provided is a robot control system (1) including a robot (200) and a control device (100). The control device (100): specifies positions of other objects, specifies a second cuboid that encompasses a first cuboid containing the positions of a plurality of vertices of the robot prior to movement and the positions of a plurality of vertices of the robot after movement, and causes the robot to move if none of the other objects are within the second cuboid.
Claims11
A robot control system, comprising:
- a robot;
- and
- a control device configured to:
- specify areas occupied by other objects in a space,
- specify a single first cuboid that contains positions of a plurality of vertices of the robot prior to movement and positions of the plurality of vertices of the robot after movement,
- specify a second cuboid that is predeterminedly larger than the single first cuboid and encompasses the single first cuboid, and
- cause the robot to move if none of the other objects is within the second cuboid.
4 more elements
A control device, comprising:
- a communication interface for communicating with a robot;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- specify positions of other objects,
- specify a single first cuboid that contains positions of a plurality of vertices of the robot prior to movement and positions of the plurality of vertices of the robot after movement,
- specify a second cuboid that is predeterminedly larger than the single first cuboid and encompasses the single first cuboid, and
- cause the robot to move if none of the other object is within the second cuboid.
5 more elements
A robot control method, comprising:
- specifying positions of other objects by a control device;
- specifying a single first cuboid that contains positions of a plurality of vertices of a robot prior to movement and positions of the plurality of vertices of the robot after movement;
- specifying a second cuboid that is predeterminedly larger than the single first cuboid and encompasses the single first cuboid;
- and
- causing the robot to move if none of the other objects is within the second cuboid.
