Abstract
An interference determination method is provided to compute whether or not a robot that operates according to a motion path will interfere with a nearby object. A first orientation, a second orientation, and an intermediate orientation of the robot are set, and a first combined approximated body is generated that is configured by combining a plurality of robot approximated bodies, which are obtained by approximating the shape of the robot in these orientations. If it is determined that the robot will interfere with the nearby object, whether to generate a combined approximated body that is smaller than the first combined approximated body is determined based on the amount indicating the interval between two adjacent robot approximated bodies.
