Abstract
A technique shortens the time taken to adjust a protection area. An area setting device includes a setting unit that sets a protection area in at least a part of a surrounding environment of a robot to detect an entry of an object, an obtainer that obtains surrounding information about the robot, and a storage prestoring a set value for the protection area and the surrounding information associated with each other. The setting unit sets the protection area based on the set value read from the storage.
Claims14
An area setting device, comprising:
- a setting unit configured to set a protection area to detect an entry of an object, the protection area being in at least a part of a surrounding environment of a robot;
- an obtainer configured to obtain surrounding information about the robot;
- and
- a storage prestoring a set value for the protection area and the surrounding information associated with each other,
- wherein the setting unit sets the protection area based on the set value read from the storage.
An area setting method, comprising:
- setting, with a computer, a protection area to detect an entry of an object, the protection area being in at least a part of a surrounding environment of a robot;
- and
- obtaining, with the computer, surrounding information about the robot,
- wherein the setting includes setting the protection area based on a set value for the protection area read from a storage prestoring the set value and the surrounding information associated with each other.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a process, comprising:
- setting a protection area to detect an entry of an object, the protection area being in at least a part of a surrounding environment of a robot;
- and
- obtaining surrounding information about the robot,
- wherein the setting includes setting the protection area based on a set value for the protection area read from a storage prestoring the set value and the surrounding information associated with each other.
