Abstract

A robot system includes a display portion which displays a robot model and a peripheral device model, a deployment portion which deploys a motion monitoring range model of the robot on the display portion, a positioning portion which moves and positions the motion monitoring range model, and a setting portion which converts a range surrounded by the positioned motion monitoring range model in the display portion into coordinate values which can be recognized by the robot to set the motion monitoring range.

Claims (16)

1. A robot system, comprising:

a display configured to

display a robot model of a robot and a peripheral device model of a peripheral device surrounding the robot,

display a deployed motion monitoring range model of a motion monitoring range of the robot, and

display the deployed motion monitoring range model being moved by a drag operation to determine a position of the deployed motion monitoring range model, and

a computer connected to the display and configured to convert a range surrounded by the deployed motion monitoring range model positioned in the display into coordinate values recognizable by the robot in order to set the motion monitoring range of the robot.

2. A robot system according to claim 1 , wherein the display is configured to display the deployed motion monitoring range model being expanded or reduced by a drag operation.

3. A robot system according to claim 1 , wherein the display is configured to

display a plurality of motion monitoring range models including at least one of a parallelepiped model, a sphere model, and a capsule-type model, and

display a selected one of the plurality of motion monitoring range models as the deployed motion monitoring range model.

4. A robot system according to claim 1 , wherein the computer is configured to stop the robot when a control point or a focus part of the robot model is deviated from the deployed motion monitoring range model.

5. A robot system according to claim 3 , wherein the deployed motion monitoring range model is the parallelepiped model.

6. A robot system according to claim 3 , wherein the deployed motion monitoring range model is the sphere model.

7. A robot system according to claim 3 , wherein the deployed motion monitoring range model is the capsule-type model.

8. A robot system according to claim 1 , wherein the deployed motion monitoring range model is a model of a range in which a control point or a specific focus part of the robot performs a motion.

9. A robot system according to claim 1 , wherein the deployed motion monitoring range model is a model of a region in which when a control point of the robot enters, a signal is output.
