System for evading collision in shared working space of plural robots

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To evade the collision of robots, by monitoring a shared space by a computer managing a robot controller in case of performing work by plural robots simultaneously and a large number of operations in the same space. CONSTITUTION:The computer 11 is connected to the robot controllers 14 and 15 controlling the robots 12 and 13, respectively, and collects robot position data from individual robot controller 14 and 15. The computer 11 divides the mutual shared space of the robots 12 and 13 into 36 parts, and manages the space by attaching a number on respective space. By conforming the robot position data from the robot controllers 14 and 15 to divided spaces, the computer issues an instruction to stop their operations to the robot controllers 14 and 15 in a case where the robots exist in neighboring spaces 17 or the robots are moved to the same space 18.
