Robot Teaching Point Validation for Abrupt Motion Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing robot operation systems lack an efficient method to determine whether the traveling distances and angle changes between teaching points in a robot operation program exceed the allowable limits, potentially leading to abrupt movements or singular points during robot operation.
Innovation Solution
A robot operation determination device that calculates the traveling distances and angle changes between adjacent teaching points in a robot operation program and compares them to allowable limits, displaying any exceedances to the operator.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If teaching positions are set frequently in the operation program, then the robot operation becomes more precise and controllable, but the traveling amount between teaching points increases and may exceed allowable limits causing abrupt movements
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary calculation of traveling amounts between teaching points before actual robot execution. By calculating the distance and angle changes in advance and comparing them against allowable limits, the system identifies problematic teaching point combinations before they cause abrupt movements, allowing preventive correction of the operation program
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback by displaying information about teaching points that exceed allowable traveling amounts. This feedback mechanism allows operators to review and adjust the operation program to eliminate abrupt movements while maintaining necessary operational precision
2Productivity
If the number of teaching points is reduced, then the operation program becomes simpler and faster to execute, but the robot may pass through singular points or unreachable positions
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary simulation and calculation to check whether reduced teaching point configurations would cause the robot to pass through singular points or unreachable positions. By validating the operation program before execution, the system ensures that fewer teaching points do not compromise operational safety
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback information about potential singular points and unreachable positions when teaching points are reduced. This allows operators to make informed decisions about optimizing the operation program while maintaining safety constraints
3Manufacturing precision
If teaching positions are set with small intervals, then the robot operation becomes smoother and more accurate, but the total traveling amount increases and operation time extends
Solution Approach 1:
The system calculates and compares traveling amounts against allowable limits to determine optimal teaching point spacing. By analyzing the relationship between interval size, traveling amount, and operation time, the system helps identify the optimal parameter configuration that balances positioning accuracy with operational efficiency

AI summary
This robot operation determination device includes: an input unit for inputting position information of at least two teaching points of an operation program for operating a robot; a storage unit that stores an allowable movement amount; a calculation unit that calculates a movement amount between adjacent teaching points in the operation program on the basis of the position information input into the input unit; a determination unit that determines whether the movement amount calculated by the calculation unit is larger than the allowable movement amount stored in the storage unit; and a display unit that, when the determination unit determines that the movement amount is larger than the allowable movement amount, performs a display to that effect.
