  • Publication number: 20230241779
    Abstract: A robot state monitoring device 2 comprises: a camera which captures an image of a robot 3 under the control of a controller; a moving image generation unit which associates video data of the robot 3 acquired by the camera with input/output signals DO[1], AO[1], DI[1], and AI[1] of the controller along a time axis 830, and generates a moving image showing a state change of the robot 3 and the input/output signals DO[1], AO[1], DI[1], and AI[1]; and a moving image playback device which plays back the moving image generated by the moving image generation unit The moving image generation unit acquires the values of the input/output signals DO[1], AO[1], DI[1], and AI[1] at the recording time of each frame under the same cycle as the frame rate of the video data.

  • Patent number: 11580972
    Abstract: A robot teaching device includes: a display device; an operation key formed of a hard key or a soft key and including an input changeover switch; a microphone; a voice recognition section; a correspondence storage section storing each of a plurality of types of commands and a recognition target word in association with each other; a recognition target word determination section configured to determine whether a phrase represented by character information includes the recognition target word; and a command execution signal output section configured to switch, in response to the input changeover switch being operated, between a first operation in which a signal for executing the command corresponding to an operation to the operation key is outputted and a second operation in which a signal for executing the command associated with the recognition target word represented by the character information is outputted.

  • Patent number: 11485017
    Abstract: A robot system including a robot that is controlled by a robot controller and a wireless communication device that is worn or carried by a person present in the periphery of the robot. The wireless communication device has a sensor capable of detecting an acceleration, the wireless communication device is configured to transmit information related to the acceleration to the robot controller of the robot in a state in which the wireless communication device is not operated by the person, and the robot controller performs operation restriction of the robot when the acceleration exceeds a threshold.
