Robot controller and robot control method

摘要

A robot hand (19) is moved at a moving speed in direct movement from a start position (A) to an end position (B). When the robot hand (19) passes through a setting position (C) on a movement route (10) from the start position (A) to the end position (B), a setting position passing signal is outputted. At this time, a robot controller (24) does not lower the moving speed of the robot hand before and after arrival at the setting position (C). Therefore, the reduction in the moving speed of the robot (19) hand due to existence of the setting position (C) can be prevented and the movement time of the robot hand (19) can be prevented from undesired prolongation. By doing this, the cycle time can be shortened and the operability of the robot can be improved.
