Abstract
A robot programming device capable of significantly reducing operation time by an operator required for designating processed portions, and generating a robot program for moving a robot between each processed portion in an appropriate order, without depending on skill or experience of the operator. The programming device is configured to: locate three-dimensional models of a robot and a workpiece in a virtual space; extract shape features from the three-dimensional model of the workpiece; set reference positions of the shape features and the robot; determine a movement order for moving the robot between the shape features based on the reference positions, based on the reference positions of the shape features and the robot; and generate a motion program so that the robot moves the tool along the shape feature and the robot is moved between the shape features according to the determined movement order.
