Abstract

A robot control device is provided with a display unit for displaying a three-dimensional image of a jog coordinate system and a robot, and an input unit including keys corresponding to coordinate axes of the jog coordinate system. The input unit is formed so that an operator operates an image on the display unit. A display control unit changes the image so that the direction of the jog coordinate system is fixed while the direction of the robot changes in accordance with the operation of the operator in the input unit. When the operator pushes the key, a manual control unit changes the position and orientation of the robot based on the direction of the jog coordinate system with respect to the robot in the image.

Claims (15)

1. A robot control device comprising:

a display unit for displaying a three-dimensional image including a jog coordinate system for performing a jog operation and a robot;

an input unit including a robot operation part corresponding to coordinate axis of the jog coordinate system;

a display control unit for controlling the image displayed on the display unit; and

a manual control unit for detecting an operation of the robot operation part so as to change position and orientation of the robot in accordance with the operation of the robot operation part, wherein

the robot is an articulated robot including a plurality of drive axes,

an original point of the jog coordinate system is fixed at a predetermined position in a wrist of the robot to which an operation tool is attached or in the operation tool attached to the robot,

the input unit has an image operation part by which an operator operates the image on the display unit,

the display control unit changes the image so that a direction of one of the jog coordinate system and the robot is fixed while a direction of the other changes continuously in accordance with an operation of the operator in the image operation part, and

when the operator operates the robot operation part, the manual control unit changes the position and orientation of the robot based on a direction of the coordinate axis of the jog coordinate system with respect to the robot in the image.

2. The robot control device according to claim 1 , comprising:

a storage unit for storing a direction of the jog coordinate system with respect to the robot, which has been changed by the operation of the image operation part, wherein

the display control unit acquires the direction of the jog coordinate system with respect to the robot, which has been stored in the storage unit, and displays the image.

3. The robot control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the display control unit displays the image of the robot, which is viewed from a view point which is rotated about a predetermined point serving as a center by the operation of the operator.
