ROBOT CONTROL METHOD AND ROBOT SYSTEM

摘要

PURPOSE: A robot control method and a robot system are provided to prevent the malfunction of a robot in advance and undesired. CONSTITUTION: A robot control method comprises; a step(504) for virtually dividing a whole path of a task given to a robot into a plurality of sections, a step(508) for calculating a joint control value of the robot in each section, and a step for determining possibility of singularity by comparing a joint control vale in a prior section and a joint control value in a current section. When a difference between the joint control values in the current section and the prior section is below a reference value, the possibility of the singularity is not existed. When a difference between the joint control values in the current section and the prior section is over the reference value, the possibility of the singularity is existed.
