Abstract
An instruction system of a remote-control robot having a work manipulator. The system comprises an instruction manipulator for providing work instructions to the work manipulator; a solid geometrical model forming device for forming solid geometrical models of the work manipulator and work circumstances; a simulating device for operating the positions and attitude of the geometrical models according the information of motions of the instruction manipulator and information from various sensors of the work manipulator to simulate geometrical models, as well as driving the work manipulator according to the information from the instruction manipulator, etc.; and a graphic display for displaying motions of the geometrical models. The solid geometrical model forming device forms geometrical models of the work manipulator and work circumstances, the simulating device simulating actual working positions of the geometrical models, and the graphic display displaying the simulated geometrical models. After that, the work manipulator is driven according to the instruction information. Thus, an operator can give work instructions to the work manipulator through the instruction manipulator while monitoring, at a real time, motions of the geometrical models displayed on the graphic display.
