Abstract

A robot system includes a robot main body, memory part configured to store information for causing robot main body to perform given operation, as saved operational information, motion controller configured to control operation of robot main body by using saved operational information as automatic operational information for causing robot main body to operate, and an operation correcting device configured to generate, by being operated, manipulating information for correcting operation of robot main body during operation. Motion controller controls robot main body to perform an operation corrected from operation related to automatic operational information in response to a reception of the manipulating information while robot main body is operating by using automatic operational information. Memory part is configured to be storable of corrected operational information for causing robot main body to perform corrected operation as saved operational information, when robot main body performs corrected operation.

Claims (17)

1. A master-slave type robot system configured to allow an operator to manipulate a master arm while looking at a work situation of a slave arm to cause the slave arm to perform a specific work, comprising:

the slave arm;

a memory part configured to store information for causing the slave arm to perform a given operation, as saved operational information;

a motion controller configured to control the operation of the slave arm by using the saved operational information as automatic operational information for causing the slave arm to operate; and

the master arm installed outside a workspace of the slave arm and configured to be operated by the operator to generate manipulating information for correcting the operation of the slave arm during performance of the specific work,

wherein the motion controller controls the slave arm to perform an operation corrected from the operation related to the automatic operational information in response to a reception of the manipulating information while the slave arm is operating by using the automatic operational information, and

wherein the memory part is configured to store corrected operational information for causing the slave arm to perform the corrected operation as the saved operational information, when the slave arm performs the corrected operation.

2. The robot system of claim 1 , wherein the motion controller controls the operation of the slave arm using the latest saved operational information stored in the memory part as the automatic operational information.

3. The robot system of claim 1 ,

wherein the memory part stores a plurality of saved operational information, and

wherein the robot system further comprises an operational information selector configured to select the saved operational information to be used as the automatic operational information, from the plurality of saved operational information stored in the memory part.

4. The robot system of claim 1 ,

wherein the memory part stores a plurality of saved operational information, and

wherein the robot system further comprises a saved operational information generator configured to generate new saved operational information using the plurality of saved operational information stored in the memory part.

5. The robot system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a camera installed in a space where the slave arm is provided, the camera being configured to image the work situation of the slave arm; and

a monitor installed in a space where the master arm is provided, the monitor being configured to receive image information acquired by and sent from the camera and display the work situation of the slave arm.
