  • Publication number: 20230311305
    Abstract: A robot control device determines control parameters based on a table in which a correspondence relation between work contents of work to be performed by a robot and levels of the control parameters of the robot is specified. The table includes, as the work contents, first conveyance work for conveying a target object having weight less than a predetermined weight value and second conveyance work for conveying a target object having weight equal to or more than the predetermined weight value and includes, as the control parameters, for each of the first conveyance work and the second conveyance work, command followability indicating followability of the robot to a position command and an operation end determination standard indicating a standard for determining an operation end of the robot.

  • Publication number: 20230311315
    Abstract: A robot control device determines control parameters based on a table in which a correspondence relation between work contents of work to be performed by a robot and levels of the control parameters of the robot is specified. The table includes, as the work contents, conveyance work for conveying a target object and assembly work for assembling the target object and includes, as the control parameters, for each of the conveyance work and the assembly work, speed of the robot, command followability, and an operation end determination standard. A level of the speed of the conveyance work is higher than that of the assembly work. A level of the command followability of the conveyance work is lower than that of the assembly work. A level of the operation end determination standard of the conveyance work is lower than that of the assembly work.
