Abstract: A robot system that can perform cooperative work in accordance with an action of a person. A robot system according to the present disclosure includes a robot, a detection apparatus detecting a work object and detecting a predetermined action of a worker with respect to the work object, and a robot controller causing the robot to execute a predetermined work on the work object detected by the detection apparatus when the detection apparatus detects the predetermined action.

Abstract: A display part of a mobile terminal displays an operation program. The operation program includes an operation icon indicating an operation of a robot or an operation tool, and an auxiliary icon having a shape sandwiching the operation icon. The auxiliary icon indicates control of adding an operation of the robot apparatus. The display part is configured to display a screen configured to set setting information related to the operation of the robot apparatus in such a manner that as operator is enabled to set the setting information. The display part displays the operation icon and the auxiliary icon so as to align the operation icon and the auxiliary icon in order of the operations of the robot apparatus.

Abstract: To generate an easy-to-understand program for a robot in a simple way. A robot programming device performs programming using an operation unit block. The robot programming device includes a display control unit that displays a programming region and an advanced setting region on a display unit. The programming region is a region for programming for running the robot by setting an operation unit block defined for each operation unit of the robot. The advanced setting region is a region for making setting relating to the operation unit block.

Abstract: A robot teaching device capable of simplifying a work involved in teaching a robot. The robot teaching device includes a position data storing section configured to store target position data for a robot; an operation instruction storing section configured to store an operation instruction for arranging the robot at a target position, the operation instruction not including the target position data; and a position data writing section configured to acquire current position data of the robot when the operation instruction is input, the position data writing section further configured to write, to the position data storing section, the current position data as the target position data together with a unique identifier, in which the identifier of the target position data is automatically given to the operation instruction being input to teach an operation to the robot.

Abstract: Provided is a robot system including a robot; a control device configured to control the robot; a portable teach pendant connected to the control device; and a teaching handle attached to the robot and connected to the control device, where the teach pendant is provided with a first enable switch configured to permit operation of the robot by the teach pendant, the teaching handle is provided with a second enable switch configured to permit operation of the robot by the teaching handle, and the control device enables operation of the robot by the teaching handle only when the first enable switch is in an off state and the second enable switch is switched to the on state, and enables operation of the robot by the teach pendant only when the second enable switch is in an off state and the first enable switch is switched to the on state.

Abstract: A robot system is provided with a robot including a combination of mechanical units serving as multiple modules, a robot control device that controls the robot, and a memory provided in each of the mechanical units. In the memory, a shape model and a parameter for estimating the coasting distance of the robot are stored beforehand, the shape model indicating the shape of the mechanical unit.

Abstract: A control device of a robot system includes a position recording section that records a stopping position of a robot when the robot has been stopped by a stopping section, and a position distribution generation section that generates a distribution of the stopping positions of the robot recorded by the position recording section. The control device further includes a speed changing section that automatically changes an operating speed of the robot in accordance with the generated stopping position distribution of the robot.

Abstract: A robot system enabling a single teaching console to be used to easily teach a plurality of robots. The robot system includes a plurality of robot controllers connected through a network and a single teaching console. The teaching console is configured to be able to selectively communicate with any one of the robot controllers. The robot controller is configured so as to send a connect request to the teaching console when it is judged that the state of the robot has been switched to the teaching phase or maintenance phase. The teaching console is configured to respond to a connect request from the robot controller and switch destinations to enable communication with the robot controller.

Abstract: A robot system using an augmented reality-compatible display, capable of providing information on the status and/or an operation guide of a robot added to an actual image or actual environment, to a user of the robot, so as to improve the efficiency of operations carried out by the user. The robot system includes an actual robot, a controller which controls the actual robot, and an image capturing-displaying device connected to the controller by a wire or by radio. The image capturing-displaying device has a function for capturing an image of a scene including the actual robot and a function for displaying the captured image in real-time. The user can obtain a scene including the actual robot in real-time by directing a camera arranged on the image capturing-displaying device toward the actual robot, and can monitor an augmented reality image.

Abstract: A robot controller for ensuring safety of an operator, which is capable of reducing operational cost by avoiding unnecessary emergency stop of a robot. A teaching pendant has an emergency stop button for interrupting drive power for the robot, and a main body of the controller has a signal part which receives an emergency stop signal from the teaching pendant when the emergency stop button is pushed, and a power interrupting part which interrupts the drive power for the robot when the signal part receives the emergency stop signal under a predetermined condition. Until a first predetermined period of time has passed after a connection/disconnection switch is operated, the power interrupting part does not interrupt the drive power when a connection-recognition signal representing that the teaching pendant is connected to the main body is not generated, even when the emergency stop signal is input from the teaching pendant.
