Abstract
A robot automation system includes circuitry configured to generate a plurality of task patterns that are candidates of a task flow for performing a job including a plurality of tasks by at least one robot. Each of the plurality of task patterns includes a corresponding relationship between the plurality of tasks and the at least one robot. The circuitry is further configured to calculate an estimated cycle time of the job based on a simulation in which the at least one robot performs the plurality of tasks, for each of the plurality of task patterns. The circuitry is further configured to generate, as an operation program, at least one task flow for performing the job by the at least one robot, in response to comparing a preset reference cycle time for the job with the estimated cycle time for each of the plurality of task patterns.
