20130345848 | ROBOT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING FITTING - In this robot system, a control portion includes a workpiece supporting operation command portion, a workpiece positioning operation command portion causing a second robot arm to move a workpiece toward a workpiece fitted portion while causing an end effector of the second robot arm to support the workpiece, and a fitting operation command portion causing a first robot arm to fit the workpiece into the workpiece fitted portion. | 12-26-2013 |
20140358282 | ROBOT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING TO-BE-PROCESSED MATERIAL - A robot system includes a robot, an operation control device, an impulse calculation device, and a first detection device. The robot includes an end effector and a force sensor. The force sensor is configured to measure a force applied to the end effector. The operation control device is configured to control the robot to perform predetermined work. The impulse calculation device is configured to calculate an impulse applied to the end effector based on a measurement value measured by the force sensor while the robot is performing the predetermined work. The first detection device is configured to generate detection information when the impulse exceeds a threshold. | 12-04-2014 |
20150032244 | ROBOT SYSTEM, PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT COMPUTER, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING A PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT COMPUTER - To enable recording of which robot has participated in the manufacture of which product without fail, provided is a robot system, including: a robot controller for controlling a robot; and a production management computer, which is to be connected to the robot controller. The robot controller includes a robot information transmitting unit for transmitting robot identification information by which the robot is identified to the production management computer when the robot works on a work piece that is put on a work space for the robot. The production management computer includes: a work piece identification information obtaining unit for obtaining, when the work piece within the work space for the robot is switched, work piece identification information by which the work piece is identified; and a storage for storing the robot identification information in association with the work piece identification information. | 01-29-2015 |
20150032256 | ROBOT SYSTEM, ROBOT MANAGEMENT COMPUTER, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A ROBOT SYSTEM - To enable simple loading of an appropriate operation control program into a robot controller, provided is a robot system, including: a robot management computer; and robot controllers for controlling robots, respectively, in which the robot management computer includes: a robot information receiving unit for receiving set-up location information about a set-up location of each of the robots; a storage for storing an operation control program of the each of the robots in association with the set-up location information; and an operation control program transmitting unit for transmitting, to each of the robot controllers, the operation control program that is associated with the set-up location information received from the robot information receiving unit. | 01-29-2015 |
20150032257 | ROBOT SYSTEM, ROBOT MANAGEMENT COMPUTER FOR A ROBOT SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF MANAGING A ROBOT SYSTEM - To enable a recovery control program to be executed quickly by a robot controller without needing to equip the robot controller with a large-capacity storage device, provided is a robot system, including a first robot controller for controlling a first robot. The first robot controller includes a posture information obtaining unit for obtaining information indicating a posture of the first robot when an anomaly occurs in the first robot. The robot system further includes a recovery control program generating unit for generating, by computing, based on the posture of the first robot, a recovery control program for changing the posture of the first robot to a given standby posture. | 01-29-2015 |
20150045949 | ROBOT CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ROBOT - A robot control apparatus includes a first storage section to associate information of work performed by a robot with a work program indicating content of the work, and to store the information in association with the work program. A second storage section associates robot identification information for identifying the robot with a coordinate position of the robot, and stores the robot identification information in association with the coordinate position of the robot. A display control section controls a display section to display, in order, setting windows respectively corresponding to work steps of the work. In response to an operator selecting the work, a path preparation section prepares a movement path of the robot in the work based on the work program corresponding to the work selected by the operator and based on information of the coordinate position of the robot to perform the work. | 02-12-2015 |
20150045953 | ROBOT SYSTEM, ROBOT CONTROL APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ROBOT - A robot system includes a robot and a controller. An arm includes joints. Actuators drive the joints. Sensors detect operation states of the actuators. The probe is mounted on the arm. A force sensor detects force received by the probe. The controller controls the robot. A determinator determines whether the force from a structure disposed at a position on a work stand satisfies a condition. An operation state acquisitor acquires the operation states when the force satisfies the condition. A coordinate calculator calculates a position coordinate of the probe based on the operation states. A position correction amount calculator calculates a correction amount of a position of the work stand relative to the robot based on the position coordinate. | 02-12-2015 |
20150045955 | ROBOT CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ROBOT - A robot control apparatus includes a storage section, a display control section, and a work program preparation section. The storage section associates information of work performed by a robot with a template to prepare a work program indicating content of the work, and stores the information in association with the template. The display control section controls a display section to display, in order, setting windows respectively corresponding to work steps of the work. In response to an operator selecting the work, the work program preparation section prepares the work program indicating the content of the work selected by the operator based on the template corresponding to the work selected by the operator and based on setting information that the operator inputs on at least one setting window among the setting windows. | 02-12-2015 |
