Abstract
The memory unit 34 storing the control information (API 521 and operation macro code 522) used by the robot controller 4 (robot controller) to control the end effector 3 is provided in the end effector 3. Therefore, by obtaining the control information from the memory unit 34 provided in the end effector 3 to be controlled, the robot controller 4 can reliably obtain the control information corresponding to this end effector 3 (Steps S102 to S104).
Claims18
A robot system, comprising:
- a robot;
- an end effector to be detachably attached to the robot;
- and
- a robot controller configured to control the robot and the end effector,
- wherein the end effector includes a memory unit that saves control information used by the robot controller to control the end effector, and
- the robot controller controls the end effector by the control information obtained from the memory unit.
A robot device, comprising:
- a robot to which an end effector is to be detachably attached;
- and
- a robot controller configured to control the robot and the end effector,
- wherein the end effector including a memory unit that saves control information used by the robot controller to control the end effector, and
- the robot controller controlling the end effector by the control information obtained from the memory unit.
A robot controller for controlling a robot and an end effector to be detachably attached to the robot, comprising:
- a control unit configured to control the robot and the end effector,
- wherein the end effector includes a memory unit that saves control information used by the robot controller to control the end effector, and
- the control unit controls the end effector by the control information obtained from the memory unit.
An end effector to be detachably attached to a robot, comprising:
- a memory unit that saves control information used by a robot controller to control the end effector.
An end effector control method, comprising:
- obtaining control information used to control an end effector from a memory unit provided in the end effector by a robot controller;
- and
- controlling the end effector by the control information obtained from the memory unit by the robot controller.
