APPARATUS FOR OPERATING ROBOTS

摘要

A robot operation apparatus includes a touch panel, operation detecting unit that is capable of detecting a touch operation or drag operation on touch panel, and motion command generating unit that generates motion command for operating a robot based on a detection result from operation detecting unit. The motion command generating unit is capable of performing a motion direction determining process in which a motion direction of the robot is determined, and a motion speed determining process in which, when the operation detecting unit detects a drag operation in a positive or negative direction in a specific linear direction on the touch panel after the motion direction determining process is performed, a motion speed Vr for operating the robot in the motion direction determined in the motion direction determining process is determined based on an absolute value |Vd| of an operating speed Vd of the drag operation.
