[0105] Figure 7 It is a schematic configuration diagram of the second embodiment of the robot system of the present invention.

[0106] Next, the second embodiment will be described, but in the following description, the differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described, and the description of the same matters will be omitted.

[0107] Such as Figure 7 As shown, the robot system 100A has a robot 2 and a plurality of pointing devices 3 . The robot 2 is in a state capable of communicating with each of the plurality of pointing devices 3 . The respective pointing devices 3 may be those shown in the above-mentioned first embodiment, and are different types of devices from each other. It should be noted that there may be multiple indicating devices 3 of the same type.

[0108] In addition, in the present embodiment, a plurality of pointing devices 3 are in a state capable of communicating with the robot 2 , but it is assumed that there is only one pointing device...

Abstract

The present invention provides a robot system, and an operator near a robot can recognize the connection state with an indicating device. The robot system is characterized by having a robot and an indicating device. The robot system includes a robot including a robot main body having a receiving unit that receives a predetermined operation, a control apparatus that controls actuation of the robot main body, and a transmitting unit that, when the receiving unit receives the operation, transmits information representing reception of the operation, and an instruction apparatus having a receiving unit that receives the information transmitted by the transmitting unit and a first reporting unit, and instructing the control apparatus to execute an operation program, wherein, when the instruction apparatus is in a condition with a right for control in which the instruction apparatus can instruct the control apparatus to execute the operation program, when the receiving unit receives the information, the first reporting unit reports that the instruction apparatus is in the condition with the right for control.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a robot system. Background technique [0002] In recent years, due to the high labor costs and shortage of manpower in factories, the automation of manual work has been accelerated through various robots and robot peripheral equipment. These various robots have, for example, an arm and a controller as a control unit for controlling the operation of the arm. In addition, in Patent Document 1, the controller is wirelessly or wiredly connected to a movable operating device, and commands such as an operating program are input to the controller through the movable operating device. [0003] In addition, depending on a production line using robots, for example, a plurality of controllers and a plurality of operating devices may coexist in one factory. In such a case, it may not be possible to know which controller is connected to which operating device. In order to prevent this, in Patent Document 1, when the operation dev...
