  • Publication number: 20240131710
    Abstract: A motion plan device 10X mainly includes a condition setting means 90X and a motion plan means 100X. The condition setting means 90X sets a first condition in which a robot performing a pick-and-place for one or more transport objects and the one or more transport objects are located inside movable region being a region where no collision with a collision avoidance necessary target occurs, and a second condition in which, while the robot is grasping and carrying the transport object, the movable region around the collision avoidance necessary target of the robot and the movable region around the collision avoidance necessary target of the transport object being carried match with each other. Next, the motion plan means 100X calculates a motion plan of the robot based on the first condition and the second condition.
