Robot, robot system, and robot control method

A robot comprising a storage portion in which an operating program for the robot is stored, a main arithmetic portion for analyzing the operating program stored in the storage portion, a sequencer portion from which a signal from the main arithmetic portion is output, a driving portion for driving the robot to which the signal from the main arithmetic portion is input, and a communications portion for communicating with apparatuses connected to a network, wherein a message signal input from an apparatus connected to the sequencer portion to the sequencer portion and a message signal input to the communications portion are input to the main arithmetic portion, and a calculation is performed by the main arithmetic portion, and, based on the calculation, a signal output from the main arithmetic portion to the sequencer portion or a signal output to the driving portion is controlled.

A robot comprising a storage portion in which an operating program for the robot is stored, a main arithmetic portion for analyzing the operating program stored in the storage portion, a sequencer portion to which a signal from the main arithmetic portion is input, a driving portion for driving the robot to which the signal from the main arithmetic portion is input, a communications portion for communicating with apparatuses connected to a network, and a communications method storage portion in which information about a communications method of the network is stored, wherein communications are performed on the basis of the information stored in the communications method storage portion even in a network different in the communications method.

A robot comprising a storage portion in which an operating program for the robot is stored, a main arithmetic portion for analyzing the operating program stored in the storage portion, a sequencer portion to which a signal from the main arithmetic portion is input, a driving portion for driving the robot to which the signal from the main arithmetic portion is input, a communications portion for communicating with apparatuses connected to a network, and a history storage portion in which a history of a state of the robot is stored, wherein information about the history storage portion is output from the communications portion to the network when a stop factor of the robot occurs.
