Abstract
A processor of a controller executes processes of: storing values of link parameters of a robot in a memory; collecting data points, which include a set of coordinates that set forth positions of surface points in a surface of an object found in a space; collecting joint angles of respective joints of a robot arm; generating a virtual robot model simulating a contemporaneous posture of the robot based on the link parameters and the joint angles; removing at least data points representing the robot from the collected data points by using the virtual robot model and presenting the remaining data points as a representation of the interfering object; and calculating a distance between the potentially interfering object and the robot by using the representation and the virtual robot model and determining whether the potentially interfering object is approaching the robot or not, based on the calculated distance.
