Image for robot operation

Abstract

This image is an image for robot operation to be displayed on a display device of a robot controller for robot operation including robot operation and teaching, a display device of a portable controller such as a teaching device, etc. More specifically, the image is an image for robot operation in which operation settings of a robot for a plurality of articles can be made. This image for robot operation may also be displayed on a display device of a computer connected to a robot controller or the like by wire or wirelessly, or a display device of a computer for simulation related to the robot. In this image, the user uses operation functions such as an input device including a mouse, an input means including a pointer appearing on the display device, a touch panel function provided in the display device, and a touch screen function provided in the display device to perform the operation setting in this image. When the user operates the Drop / Pick display switching section shown in the "Reference Image Diagram Showing the Names of Each Part" using the operation function, from the state where the order of "Pick" etc. is displayed in each of the plurality of articles as in the "Image Diagram", it becomes a state where the order of "Drop" is displayed in each of the plurality of articles as in the "Image Diagram Showing the Changed State". The user can change the numbers in each article in the "Image Diagram", "Image Diagram Showing the Changed State", etc. using the operation function. The robot targeted for the operation setting can hold a plurality of articles at once at a first location set on a conveyor or the like, and the robot places the lifted articles at a second location. The "Image Diagram", "Image Diagram Showing the Changed State", etc. show the placement positions of the plurality of articles at the second location. For example, the numbers in each of the three articles in the upper left as shown in the "Image Diagram" being set to "1" means that the robot holds the three articles simultaneously in the first Pick operation at the first location and transports the three articles towards the second location. The setting where the numbers in each of the three articles in the upper left are set to "1", "2", and "3" respectively as shown in the "Image Diagram Showing the Changed State" means that the robot places the three articles held simultaneously in the first Pick operation at the first location one by one in order from the left at the second location.In one example, as shown in the "Reference Image Figure 1 Showing the Usage State", the user can perform an operation of moving two items with Pick number "2" in the image and swapping them with two items with Pick number "3". It is also possible to change the numbers in the items by other methods. Also, as in "Reference Image Figure 2 Showing the Usage State", "Reference Image Figure 3 Showing the Usage State", etc., depending on the display setting order, an alphabet, a star symbol, etc. may be displayed at the position of, for example, "1" as the Pick number in the item, and the same applies to other numbers in the item. Also, for example, as in "Reference Image Figure 4 Showing the Usage State", the Drop / Pick display switching section may be in other positions.
