Abstract

The working support robot system of the present invention includes: a robot arm (11); a measuring unit (12) for measuring the worker's position; a work progress estimation unit (13) for estimating the work progress based on data input from the measuring unit (12) while referring to data on work procedure, and for selecting objects necessary for the next task when the work is found to have advanced to the next procedure; and an arm motion planning unit (14) for planning the trajectory of the robot arm (11) to control the robot arm (11) based on the work progress estimated by the work progress estimation unit (13) and selected objects. The working support robot system can deliver objects such as tools and parts to the worker according to the work to be performed by the worker.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the application dated May 21, 2010, the application number 201080001237.1, and the title of the invention is "Work Assisting Robot System". technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a work assisting robot system that transfers, for example, required parts, tools, etc. to an operator according to the progress of work. Background technique [0003] Much of the work on car assembly lines is still done manually. This is because many parts are difficult to handle with robots, and frequent reorganization of processes requires flexibility. [0004] In the assembly process of small parts, the mobile unit is equipped with a truck bogie to transport the car body. The truck truck moves synchronously with the conveyance of the car body, and relatively small parts and tools are placed on the console of the truck truck. The operator performs the following series of operations. In the first work, the operator takes o...
