Abstract

A robot simulation device for automatically generating a practical interference avoiding motion path, regardless of the level of skill of an operator. The device includes: a motion path obtaining part which obtains a first motion path by simulating a robot motion program; a teaching point specifying part which detects whether a robot interferes with a peripheral object on the first path, and specifies first and second teaching points immediately before and after the interference occurs, respectively; a motion path generating part which automatically inserts a third teaching point between the first and second points and generates second motion paths for avoiding the interference, based on a search direction and distance determined by a random number; an evaluating part which evaluates each second path based on a predetermined parameter; and a motion path selecting part which selects an optimum motion path from the second paths based on an evaluation result.
