Control device for controlling robot by learning action of person, robot system, and production system
A control device for a robot for performing an operation in cooperation with a person, the control device includes a machine learning device including a recognition unit for classifying an action of the person, and a learning unit for learning the action of the person, while the person performs an operation in cooperation with the robot; and an action control unit for controlling the action of the robot based on a result of the classification of the recognition unit.
1. A control device for a robot for performing an operation in cooperation with a person, the control device comprising:
a machine learning device including a recognition unit which recognizes a face of the person to classify an action of the person based on a weight in a neural network corresponding to the person, and a learning unit for receiving data based on an image input as state variable, and learning and outputting the action of the person based on the action of the person classified by the recognition unit, while the person performs an operation in cooperation with the robot; and
an action control unit for controlling the action of the robot based on the action of the person classified by the recognition unit and a learned result of the learning unit.
2. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein
the recognition unit receives the state variable and generates an output obtained by classifying the action of the person, and
the learning unit comprises:
an error calculation unit that receives the output obtained by classifying the action of the person, which is generated by the recognition unit, and calculates an error based on teacher data which have been input; and
an error model update unit that updates, based on an output of the error calculation unit, an error model for controlling an action of the robot by the action of the person.
3. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein
the robot is an industrial robot, a field robot, or a service robot.
4. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein
the recognition unit uses at least one of a neural network and template matching.
5. The control device according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of cameras for photographing, wherein
the recognition unit recognizes an action of the person based on an image photographed by each camera, and uses an output of the recognition unit as an input of an AND circuit, and an output of the AND circuit as an output of the recognition unit.
6. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein
the control device transmits, after the person acts in cooperation with the robot, operation information and learning information to a higher-level controller.
7. The control device according to claim 6 , wherein
the operation information includes at least one of an item name, a process, a person specified by image recognition, the type of the robot, and the operation time of the person and the robot, and
the operation time includes at least one of a time from the start to the end of an operation, and a motion time and a downtime of the person and the robot at every operation.
8. The control device according to claim 6 , wherein
the learning information is a weight in the neural network.
9. A robot system comprising a plurality of control devices according to claim 1 , wherein
the plurality of control devices are connected to one another via a communication line, and
the control devices each learn an action of a person separately, and transmit the learned information via the communication line, to share the same.
