Abstract
A robot includes a work tool that performs a work to a work point, and a moving unit that moves the work tool and changes the posture thereof. A console receives an operation to designate the coordinates of arbitrary two or three points on an inclined surface. Upon this operation, a processor calculates a direction of the work tool toward the work point from a work start point based on the coordinates of the arbitrary two or three points, next, a control unit moves the work tool to the work start point, directs the posture of the work tool toward the work point in accordance with the calculation by the processor, and causes the work tool to start a process to the work point.
Claims10
A robot configured to start a process from a first point which is apart from an inclined surface in a vertical direction to a second point on the inclined surface, the robot comprising:
- a work tool performing a work to the second point;
- a moving unit moving the work tool and changing a posture thereof;
- a console receiving an operation of designating coordinates of arbitrary two or three points on the inclined surface;
- a processor calculating, based on the coordinates of the arbitrary two or three points, a direction of the work tool toward the second point from the first point;
- and
- a control unit causing the moving unit to move the work tool to at least the first point, direct the posture of the work tool toward the second point in accordance with a calculation result by the processor, and cause the work tool to start the process to the first point.
