Abstract
The robot simulation apparatus includes: a workpiece model setting unitthat sets a workpiece model obtained by forming a model of a three-dimensional shape of a workpiece; a bulk pile data generating unitthat generates virtual bulk pile data of a plurality of workpiece models piled up in a virtual work space as a virtually formed work space; a region estimating unitthat identifies an estimated region that is estimated to be three-dimensionally measurable by a sensor unit which is disposed above the work space, based on a position and a posture of each workpiece model in the bulk pile data; and a picking motion simulating unitthat executes a simulation for verifying the picking motion from the bulk pile of the workpiece models in the virtual work space, based on data of the estimated region identified by the region estimating unit
