REMOTE MANIPULATING DEVICE FOR ROBOT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3437608
PURPOSE: To allow a robot in a remote position to execute safe work by the simple operation of a simulator by generating a request operation direction vector whose maximum value is limited on the robot side and controlling the power of the robot in accordance with the direction vector.
CONSTITUTION: A manipulator 1 on the ground side manipulates a virtual robot on a simulator 3 through a manipulating unit 2 and the simulator 3 displays operation in a virtual environment by the virtual robot. A current virtual robot command value is sent to a working robot in space through a communication processing part 4 and the robot sends the received command value to a command value generating part 5 as an operation targe position. An operation direction vector generating part 51 in the generating part 5 multiplies a deviation between a current position and the target position by gain to calculate a temporary command vector and a maximum value control part 55 executes limiting processing so that only the size of the virtual command vector becomes less than a prescribed maximum power value to generate a command vector. A working power control processing part 6 controls the working power of a working robot 7 based upon the command vector.
