Problems solved by technology

Therefore, even when the insertion direction of the component is in the plumb direction, due to the characteristics of such a force sensor, the force in the direction perpendicular to the insertion direction is detected and the control is performed to make the force zero, so it may not be possible to properly insert the component into the hole

Embodiment approach

[0030] A1. The structure of the robot system:

[0031] figure 1 It is a perspective view showing the robot system 1 in the embodiment. The robot system 1 includes a camera 30 , a robot 100 , a force detector 130 , an end effector 140 , a robot control device 200 , and a setting device 600 . The robot 100, the robot control device 200, and the setting device 600 can be communicably connected via a cable or wirelessly.

[0032] The robot 100 is a single-arm robot used by attaching various end effectors to the arm flange 120 at the tip of the robot arm 110 . The robot arm 110 has six joints J1 to J6. Joints J2, J3, and J5 are bending joints, and joints J1, J4, and J6 are twisting joints. Various end effectors for grasping and processing an object are attached to the arm flange 120 located at the distal end of the joint J6. In this specification, the object to be handled by the robot 100 is referred to as a "workpiece".

Embodiment approach 1

[0155] (1) In the above-described embodiment, the end effector 140 can hold the workpiece WK1. However, as shown in another application example 1, the end effector 140 may be in a form capable of holding the first object via other structures (see Figure 15 ).

[0156] (2) In the above-described embodiment, the time-series change in the target force has been described (see Figure 13 and Figure 14 ). Discrimination of the position of the time series change of the target force can be determined individually on the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis, or can be determined collectively on the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis.

[0157] (3) In the above-described embodiment, the time-series change in the target force has been described (see Figure 13 and Figure 14 ). However, for example, parameters other than the target force, such as the impedance parameter, may be changed with the position of the control point (see Image 6 the upper right part of and image 3 the lower part). Howe...

Embodiment approach 2

[0164] (1) In the above-described embodiment, the algorithm using the input force measurement value and the action time and the candidate value of the output force control parameter (refer to Image 6 ). However, the input to the algorithm may be only one of the force measurement value and the action time. In addition, the input to the algorithm may be other evaluation values ​​such as life or maximum torque ratio. In such a manner, the input evaluation value is optimized, and the candidate value of the force control parameter which brings about a preferable result with respect to the input evaluation value is determined.

[0165] (2) In the above-mentioned embodiment, the algorithm using the input force measurement value and the action time (see Image 6 ). However, the optimization algorithm may be a system in which three or more evaluation values ​​are input. In the method of inputting a plurality of evaluation values ​​in the optimization algorithm, by appropriately we...

Abstract

The invention provides a robot system, a method for controlling the same, and a method for adjusting force control parameters. The robot system has a robot, a force detector, and an end effector. When the robot is caused to perform a profiling operation, force control is performed on the basis of a measurement value detected by the force detector. The profiling operation is an operation in which the first object held by the end effector is inserted into or pulled out of the gap of the second object while being brought into contact with the second object. The adjustment method includes: a measurement step of obtaining a force measurement value by causing a robot to perform a profiling operation using a candidate value of a force control parameter including a target force in a direction orthogonal to an insertion or extraction direction; a parameter updating process: performing optimization processing by using the force measurement value to obtain a new candidate value of the force control parameter; and a parameter determination step in which the measurement step and the parameter updating step are repeated, and the force control parameter is determined and output.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a robot system, a control method for the robot system, and a method for adjusting force control parameters of the robot system. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is a robot controller that performs impedance control in the insertion operation of the component insertion hole. In the technique of Patent Document 1, the viscosity parameter of the impedance control is set so as to correspond to a plurality of sections set along the depth direction of the hole. In the adjustment process of the viscosity parameter, one of the viscosity parameters corresponding to each section is lowered, the insertion operation by the robot is performed, and the reaction force acting on the robot arm is measured by the force sensor provided in the robot. By repeating the process of sequentially executing such processes on the viscosity parameters corresponding to the respective sections, the setting of the viscosity parameter for w...
