Abstract: A robot control apparatus for a more precise seam tracking operation, includes: a storage unit in which teaching data is stored; an accepting unit that accepts a sensing result of a laser sensor, from a robot including a working tool and the laser sensor attached to the working tool and configured to detect a shape of a working target before an operation of the working tool; and a control unit that moves the working tool based on the teaching data, corrects the movement of the working tool based on the sensing result, and adjusts an angle about a tool axis such that an operation point indicated by the sensing result is at a center of a field of view of the laser sensor. Accordingly, an operation line can be detected near the center of the field of view of the laser sensor, and thus more precise detection is possible.

Abstract: A memory in which information that is used in a tracking operation is to be temporarily stored, information cannot be accumulated in the memory when the accumulating intervals and the reading intervals do not match each other. A robot control apparatus includes: a memory; an accepting unit that accepts a sensing result of a laser sensor detecting a shape of a working target before an, and accumulates information according to the sensing result, in the memory. The memory management unit that, in a case in which the memory is running short of free space, deletes the information in the memory; and a control unit that moves the working tool based on teaching data, and corrects the movement of the working tool based on the information according to the sensing result stored in the memory.

Abstract: Provided is a welding position detection device capable of improving the welding position detection accuracy. The welding position detection device includes a calculation unit that irradiates two members to be joined with laser light to calculate approximate straight lines of the respective members, calculates an end portion of one member of the two members on the basis of the approximate straight line of the one member, and calculates a virtual straight line which is a straight line connecting the calculated end portion of the one member and the approximate straight line of the other member of the two members and having a specific angle with respect to the approximate straight line of the one member, and a detection unit that detects an intersection point of the calculated virtual straight line and the approximate straight line of the other member as a welding position.
