Abstract
Abstract A robot control apparatus programmably controls a taught/playback-type robot. The control apparatus has processing control means (CPU) which converts a group of position data contained in a plurality of robot command data inputted from a teaching panel into set-type command data together with other robot command data, stores the converted command data in a data memory (RAM), and creates a robot motion program by editing the command data.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
A robot control apparatus for programmably controlling a taught/playback-type robot, comprising: teaching panel means for teaching robot command data including motion target position and motion velocity; data converting means for converting a position data group contained within the robot command data from said teaching panel into set-type command data in which the robot command data corresponding to position data in the position data group are grouped together as a set, said data converting means effects the conversion into the set-type command data from the motion target position, the motion velocity, and the other robot command data taught to the robot; data memory means for storing the set-type command data; and processing control means for creating robot motion data by editing the set-type command data stored in said data memory means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
130 words
A robot control apparatus for programmably controlling a taught/playback-type robot, comprising: teaching panel means for teaching robot command data including motion target position and motion velocity; data converting means for converting a position data group contained within the robot command data from said teaching panel into set-type command data in which the robot command data corresponding to position data in the position data group are grouped together as a set, said data converting means effects the conversion into the set-type command data from the motion target position, the motion velocity, and the other robot command data taught to the robot; data memory means for storing the set-type command data; and processing control means for creating robot motion data by editing the set-type command data stored in said data memory means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A robot control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the other robot command data includes an execution instruction and a path designation.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
138 words
A method for story taught points of a predetermined motion path for a robot, comprising the steps of: (a) receiving taught data corresponding to the taught points of the predetermined motion path, the taught data includes position data, a travelling velocity, an execution instruction, and a path designation; (b) converting the taught data into set-type command data in which the taught data relevant to robot motion between adjacent taught points is grouped as a set, said converting comprising the substeps of: (b1) grouping the taught data into set groups corresponding to the robot motion between adjacent taught points of the predetermined motion path; and (b2) arranging the taught data within each of the set groups in a predetermined order to form the set-type command data; and (c) editing the set-type command data to supply a robot motion program.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
138 words
A method for story taught points of a predetermined motion path for a robot, comprising the steps of: (a) receiving taught data corresponding to the taught points of the predetermined motion path, the taught data includes position data, a travelling velocity, an execution instruction, and a path designation; (b) converting the taught data into set-type command data in which the taught data relevant to robot motion between adjacent taught points is grouped as a set, said converting comprising the substeps of: (b1) grouping the taught data into set groups corresponding to the robot motion between adjacent taught points of the predetermined motion path; and (b2) arranging the taught data within each of the set groups in a predetermined order to form the set-type command data; and (c) editing the set-type command data to supply a robot motion program.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
123 words
A robot control apparatus for controlling a robot, comprising: storage means for storing taught data corresponding to taught data points of a predetermined motion path for the robot; conversion means for converting the taught data points into set-type command data in which the taught data corresponding to robot motion between adjacent taught points is grouped as a set, where, said conversion means includes means for grouping the taught data into set groups corresponding to robot motion between adjacent taught points of the predetermined motion path; and means for arranging the taught data within each of the set groups in a predetermined order to form the set-type command data; and edit means for editing the set-type command data to produce a robot motion program.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
123 words
A robot control apparatus for controlling a robot, comprising: storage means for storing taught data corresponding to taught data points of a predetermined motion path for the robot; conversion means for converting the taught data points into set-type command data in which the taught data corresponding to robot motion between adjacent taught points is grouped as a set, where, said conversion means includes means for grouping the taught data into set groups corresponding to robot motion between adjacent taught points of the predetermined motion path; and means for arranging the taught data within each of the set groups in a predetermined order to form the set-type command data; and edit means for editing the set-type command data to produce a robot motion program.
