A programming assistance apparatus includes circuitry. The circuitry generates a first display data to be displayed in a first input area in which to input, for each of a plurality of task groups including a plurality of tasks, a first condition under which at least one robot executes the tasks. The circuitry generates a second display data to be displayed in a second input area in which to input a second condition for an execution order of the plurality of task groups. The circuitry sets the first condition based on an input into the first input area. The circuitry sets the second condition based on an input into the second input area. The circuitry generates, based on the first condition and the second condition, a motion program for causing the at least one robot to execute the plurality of task groups.

Programming assistance apparatus, robot system, and method for generating program

A processing system includes a robot including at least one arm each including a hand at an end of the at least one arm; a first position measurement sensor, which is to be grasped by the hand and moved by the at least one arm, and is configured to measure a position of a device to be used when the robot processes a processing target; and a robot control device configured to: cause the hand to grasp the first position measurement sensor; and cause the first position measurement sensor to measure the position of the device.

Processing system and method of controlling robot

A robot system includes a robot, a robot work environment in which the robot works, and a robot controller including circuitry that stores position information indicating a position of each of measured robot postures in the robot work environment, obtains a measured position of each of the measured robot postures based on a detection result obtained by a sensor, and corrects a movement position of the robot based on the measured position.

Robot system, robot controller, and method for controlling robot

After a forward end of a workpiece is inserted into a through-hole and fitting is started, a follow operation of moving the workpiece to follow the shape of the through-hole is performed during the movement of the workpiece in a fitting direction. At this time, the workpiece is fitted into the through-hole while a control point of a robot is changed in a direction opposite to the fitting direction according to the amount of movement of the workpiece in the fitting direction.

Robot system and method for manufacturing component

A robot system includes a robot arm, one or more actuators that are provided in the robot arm to drive the robot arm, a sensor unit that detects an external force applied to at least one of the robot arm and the actuators, and a controller that controls an operation of each of the actuators and limits a torque instruction value for each of the actuators on the basis of a detection result of the sensor unit.

Robot system, control device of robot, and robot control device

A robot according to an embodiment includes an arm, a strain sensor, one or more actuator, and a sensor fixing jig. The strain sensor includes a piezoelectric body that has a natural frequency higher than a natural frequency of a structural material forming the arm. The one or more actuators are provided in the arm to drive the arm. The sensor fixing jig is provided in a base of the actuator, among the actuators in the arm, closest to a base end of the arm. The strain sensor is provided in the sensor fixing jig.
