Robot system, method for controlling robot, and method for producing to-be-processed material

摘要

A robot system includes a plurality of robots, a plurality of cells, a detection device, and a changer device. Each of the plurality of robots is configured to operate based on an operation command. The plurality of cells respectively accommodate the plurality of robots and are connectable to each other. The detection device is configured to detect that the plurality of cells are connected to each other. When the detection device detects that the plurality of cells are connected to each other, the changer device is configured to change at least one operation command among operation commands for the plurality of robots respectively accommodated in the connected cells.

1. A method for controlling a robot, the method comprising:
detecting, by a detection device, connection between a plurality of cells respectively corresponding to a plurality of robots each configured to operate based on an operation command, each of the plurality of cells including a plurality of walls and a bottom surface that supports the robot and a work area in which each of the plurality of robots is configured to operate, the work area being located within a space of the cell defined by the plurality of walls and the bottom surface: connecting the plurality of cells to connect work areas and create a specific area that extends across the spaces of two adjacent cells; when the connection between the plurality of cells is detected, automatically changing at least one operation command among operation commands for the plurality of robots respectively accommodated in the connected cells based on a rule for the specific area; and controlling the plurality of robots in accordance with the at least one changed operation command.
