Abstract
Provided is a teaching device for a mobile manipulator based on a mobile robot and a collaborative robot. The teaching device includes a communication unit that transmits/receives data to and from the mobile manipulator, a memory that stores a program providing an interface for performing a task of the mobile manipulator, and a processor that operates a teaching program that performs map creation and autonomous setting for the mobile robot, and setting necessary for robot manipulation for the collaborative robot on the same interface.
Claims10
A teaching device for a mobile manipulator based on a mobile robot and a collaborative robot, the teaching device comprising:
- a communication unit that transmits/receives data to and from the mobile manipulator;
- a memory that stores a program providing an interface for performing a task of the mobile manipulator;
- and
- a processor that operates a teaching program that performs map creation and autonomous setting for the mobile robot, and setting necessary for robot manipulation for the collaborative robot on the same interface,
- wherein as a menu for autonomous driving of the mobile robot is selected and input on the interface, the processor provides location information of the mobile robot, determines whether the generated map and the location of the mobile robot are matched, and then performs location modification when there is an error beyond a certain range,
- wherein the processor adds at least one destination input through a destination addition input button of the mobile robot provided on the interface, and receives setting of direction information corresponding to the added destination during movement, and
- wherein as a path movement input provided on the interface is received, the processor provides path information corresponding to a destination created so far through the map, and as a driving input is received, the processor commands the mobile robot to move according to the path information.
A processor-implemented method of setting an interface for a mobile manipulator based on a mobile robot and a collaborative robot in a teaching device, the method comprising:
- performing a communication connection with the mobile manipulator;
- monitoring state information of the mobile manipulator;
- receiving a menu selection input for performing a task by the mobile manipulator;
- performing, through a teaching program, map creation and autonomous setting for the mobile robot, and setting necessary for robot manipulation for the collaborative robot on the same interface in response to the menu selection input,
- providing location information of the mobile robot, as a menu for autonomous driving of the mobile robot is selected and input on the interface;
- determining whether the generated map and the location of the mobile robot are matched, and then performing location modification when there is an error beyond a certain range;
- adding at least one destination input through a destination addition input button of the mobile robot provided on the interface;
- receiving setting of direction information corresponding to the added destination during movement;
- providing path information corresponding to a destination created so far through the map, as a path movement input provided on the interface is received;
- and
- commanding the mobile robot to move according to the path information as a driving input is received.
