<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for supporting determination of an optimal operating position for reducing the moving time of a robot arm. <P>SOLUTION: First, a fixed position and a first candidate position for specifying a first candidate moving path of the robot arm of a horizontal multi-joint robot 1 are specified, and a simulation range including the first candidate position is specified. Next, a plurality of second candidate positions are specified in the simulation range, and second candidate paths are found one by one by changing the first candidate position to the second candidate positions and changing the first candidate path. Then, the horizontal multi-joint robot 1 is artificially operated for simulation according to the first candidate moving path and the second candidate moving paths respectively, and at least the result of simulation of the optimal position corresponding to the moving path in which the moving time of the robot arm is the shortest is outputted. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO</p> |
