A simulation system includes circuitry configured to: determine placement of a robot with respect to another object in a virtual space, based on a placement constraint applied to the robot for executing a plurality of tasks; generate a path representing a trajectory of at least a portion of the robot or a tool operated by the robot during the tasks, based on a spatial relationship between the determined placement of the robot and the other object that satisfies the placement constraint; execute an operation program including the generated path in the virtual space in which the robot and the other object are placed; and check whether the robot interferes with the other object, based on the spatial relationship between the determined placement of the robot and the other object along the generated path in the virtual space, as a result of executing the tasks in the operation program.

A programming assistance device includes a program storage unit that stores a first program comprising a first set of time series jobs and stores a second program comprising a second set of time series jobs. Each job of the first program defines at least one operation of a first robot, and the first program is configured to be performed along a shared time line. Additionally, each job of the second program defines at least one operation of a second robot, and the second program is configured to be performed along the shared time line. The programming assistance device further includes circuitry that identifies a verification target time in the shared time line based, at least in part, on a user designation, and generates, based on the first program and the second program, a job image indicating at least one of the first set of time series jobs executed by the first robot and at least one job of the second set of time series jobs executed by the second robot at the verification target time designated in the shared time line.
