Robot program generation apparatus generating robot program for reducing jerks of joints of robot

摘要

A robot program generation apparatus includes an allowable jerk value setting unit for setting allowable jerk values to joints of a robot, a joint information calculation unit for simulating execution of a robot program in a virtual space and calculating positions and jerks of the joints in association with time, a jerks determination unit for determining whether or not the calculated jerk is an excess jerk exceeding the allowable jerk values, a joint information identification unit for identifying the joints and positions of the joints in which the excess jerks are generated, and a robot program adjustment unit for adjusting the robot program by modifying a teaching position within the neighborhood of the positions of the joints in which the excess jerks are generated so that the jerks of the identified joints become equal to or smaller than the allowable jerk values.
