Abstract
A robot where, irrespective of the position of the robot with which an operator comes into contact, the contact is more reliably detected, and a force applied to the operator is suppressed. Provided is a collaborative robot including: a wrist axis portion that determines the position of a tool mounted at a distal end thereof; and a basic axis portion that determines the position of the wrist axis portion and that is formed of only one or more linear-motion axes. The one or more linear-motion axes of the basic axis portion are each provided with a driving-force restricting unit that restricts a driving force so as to become equal to or less than a restriction value with respect to a related body area.
Claims9
A collaborative robot comprising:
- a wrist axis portion that determines the position of a tool mounted at a distal end thereof;
- and
- a basic axis portion that controls the position of the wrist axis portion and that is formed of only one or more linear-motion axes,
- wherein the one or more linear-motion axes are each provided with a driving-force restricting unit that restricts a driving force so as to become equal to or less than a restriction value with respect to a related body area.
