Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the conventional technology, there is a problem that the teaching of the robot including the robot arm cannot be easily performed.
[0005] For example, when inputting teaching data as numerical values ​​from a keyboard, or when an instructor operates a robot control device to perform actions, specialized knowledge is required for teaching, and it is difficult to combine complex actions for teaching.
In addition, when matching the image of the robot hand with the human hand, it cannot cope with the movement of the hand position changing due to the movement of the teacher's arm or the whole body.

Embodiment approach 1

[0025] figure 1 The configuration related to the robot teaching system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention is shown. The robot teaching system includes a robot 100 to be taught and a control device 200 connected to the robot 100 . The robot 100 may also be a device called a manipulator.

[0026] The robot 100 includes a robot arm 110 and a robot hand 120 . exist figure 1 Among them, there are three robot hands 120, but at least two are sufficient. The base of the robot hand 120 is connected to the front end of the robot arm 110, so that once the position and orientation of the robot arm 110 are determined, the positions of the bases of all the robot hands 120 can be uniquely determined based on it.

[0027] This robot 100 is used to perform work on an object 130 . The work may be handling, handling, assembling, etc.

[0028] The control device 200 is a computer including a computing unit (CPU, etc.) and a storage unit (semiconductor memory device, magnetic...

Embodiment approach 2

[0072] Embodiment 2 is a mode in which a plurality of robots are taught using the same teaching data in Embodiment 1. FIG.

[0073] Figure 5 The configuration related to the robot teaching system according to the second embodiment is shown. Figure 5 The robots 101-103 all have the same figure 1 The robot 100 has the same configuration. and, Figure 5 The control device 201 has the same figure 1 The control device 200 has the same configuration, but it is connected to the three robots 101 to 103, and the processing related to these three robots can be performed simultaneously.

[0074] Such a configuration is particularly effective when the corresponding robots 101 to 103 perform the same operation on a plurality of objects 131 to 133 having the same configuration. The teacher 10 can simultaneously teach all the robots 101 to 103 through one teaching.

[0075] also, Figure 5 Although not shown in the figure, it can be used with figure 1 Feedback by the monitoring cam...

Embodiment approach 3

[0077] Embodiment 3 is a mode in which the field of view of the camera is wider in Embodiments 1 and 2. FIG.

[0078] Figure 6 The structure of the single-lens reflex camera 31 of the robot teaching system concerning Embodiment 3 is shown. The direction of the single-lens reflex camera 31 can be changed according to the movement of the hand 21 or the wrist 22 of the teacher 10 . For example, in Figure 6 Among them, when the hand 21 is in the position (a), the single-lens reflex camera 31 is controlled in the direction of (A), and when the hand 21 is in the position of (b), the single-lens reflex camera 31 is controlled in the direction of (B).

[0079] Such directional control of the single-lens reflex camera 31 can be performed by a control device using known techniques. For example, it is possible to process the teaching image in real time, extract feature points, and control the direction of the single-lens reflex camera 31 so as to follow the feature points. However,...

Abstract

To easily carry out teaching a robot including a robot arm in a method of producing teaching data of a robot and a robot teaching system. A monocular camera 30 and a stereo camera 40 obtain a teaching image including a wrist 22 and a hand 21 of a teacher 10 (a teaching information obtaining step: step S1). A control device 200 decides wrist coordinates indicating a position and an orientation of a wrist 22 on the basis of the teaching image (wrist coordinates deciding step: step S2), and produces robot arm teaching data teaching the action of the robot arm 110 on the basis of the wrist coordinates (robot arm teaching data producing step: step S11).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of generating teaching data for a robot and a robot teaching system. Background technique [0002] When working with a robot, it is necessary to teach the robot how to move. As the method of this teaching, there is a method of directly inputting teaching data representing a movement pattern as a numerical value from a keyboard; a method of generating teaching data accompanied by operation of a robot control device by an instructor; and inputting an image of a human hand. , a method of automatically generating teaching data that makes the posture of the robot hand consistent with it, etc. Patent Document 1 describes an example of a method of matching the posture of a robot hand with an image of a human hand. [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-365570 [0004] However, in the conventional technology, there is a problem that a robot including a robot arm cannot be easily taug...
