CONTROL SYSTEM FOR COOPERATION OF PLURAL ROBOTS

摘要

PURPOSE:To realize the highly effective control for cooperation of plural robots by connecting plural robot controllers to each other via an interface and transmitting their working information to each other when each robot passes through its target point. CONSTITUTION:The main control processors 2A and 2B and communication control processors 3A and 3B are provided to the robot controllers 1A and 1B which are set opposite to robots 4A and 4B. Both controllers 1A and 1B are connected to each other via an interface. The processors 3A and 3B transmit the working information (status) to the robots 4B and 4A to show these robots 4A and 4B pass through each designated point at each prescribed cycle time. Thus the working information on both robots are transferred with each other. Then the processors 2A and 2B refer each received working information to decide their working positions with each other and decide their next actions with each other.
