Abstract

See full text

A robot movement programming method and apparatus for effectively creating a program for operating a robot with respect to workpieces of identical or similar shape. Sample programs for specifying sequence patterns suitable for the robot operations to be carried out are prepared, and also conversion formulas for obtaining teaching point position data are prepared as functions of dimensional parameters. The sample programs and the conversion formulas associated therewith are registered in a pattern library. The operator selects from the pattern library a sample program representing the sequence pattern suited for the robot operation to be carried out and designates the sample program as a base for creating a robot movement program after editing it, if necessary. Then, the operator inputs various parameter values, watching a graphic image of the sequence pattern specified by the selected sample program. A personal computer calculates necessary teaching point position data according to the conversion formulas and creates a robot movement program based on the calculated teaching point position data.
