Abstract
A control device 1X mainly includes an operation planning means 15X and a determination means 16X. The operation planning means 15X determines an operation plan of a robot regarding a work of sorting plural items into plural sorting containers. The determination means 16X determines whether or not the sorting containers are replenished. Then, the operation planning means 15X updates the operation plan based on the arrangement of the sorting containers after the replenishment if the sorting containers is replenished.
Claims11
A control device comprising:
- at least one memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
- determine an operation plan of a robot regarding a pick-and-place task of moving and sorting plural items into plural first sorting containers based on classification of the items;
- and
- determine whether or not a second sorting container is loaded as a replenishment which leads to shift in an arrangement of the first sorting containers,
- in a case where the second sorting container is loaded, update the operation plan based on the arrangement of the first and second sorting containers after the replenishment,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to control the robot based on the operation plan.
A control method executed by a computer, the control method comprising
- determining an operation plan of a robot regarding a pick-and-place task work of moving and sorting plural items into plural first sorting containers based on classification of the items;
- and
- determining whether or not a second sorting container is loaded as a replenishment which leads to shift in an arrangement of the first sorting containers,
- in a case where the second sorting container is loaded, updating the operation plan based on the arrangement of the first and second sorting containers after the replenishment,
- wherein the computer controls the robot based on the operation plan.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program executed by a computer, the program causing the computer to:
- determine an operation plan of a robot regarding a pick-and-place task of moving and sorting plural items into plural first sorting containers based on classification of the items;
- and
- determine whether or not a second sorting container is loaded as a replenishment which leads to shift in an arrangement of the first sorting containers,
- in a case where the second sorting container is loaded, update the operation plan based on the arrangement of the first and second sorting containers after the replenishment,
- wherein the computer controls the robot based on the operation plan.
