Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of supporting creation of a program for supporting creation of a program for work by a robot, includes detecting an operation by a user on an input device, determining a type of the work by the operation to select the type, displaying a dedicated motion flow showing a sequence of motion of the robot corresponding to the type and containing a dedicated object showing the motion for which a change of the sequence is not allowed on a display device, and converting the dedicated object into a versatile object showing the motion for which a change of the sequence is allowed by the operation to convert the dedicated object.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of supporting creation of a program for supporting creation of a program for work by a robot, the method comprising: detecting an operation by a user on an input device; determining a type of the work by the operation to select the type; displaying a dedicated motion flow showing a sequence of motion of the robot corresponding to the type and containing a dedicated object showing the motion for which a change of the sequence of the motion of the robot is not allowed on a display device; and converting the dedicated object into a versatile object showing the motion for which a change of the sequence of the motion of the robot is allowed by the operation to convert the dedicated object. 2. The method of supporting creation of the program according to claim 1 , wherein the respective dedicated objects contained in the dedicated motion flow are converted into the versatile objects by the operation to convert the dedicated flow. 3. The method of supporting creation of the program according to claim 1 , wherein the converted versatile object is highlighted and displayed on the display device. 4. The method of supporting creation of the program according to claim 1 , wherein a message warning a change of the sequence is displayed on the display device by the operation to change the sequence. 5. The method of supporting creation of the program according to claim 1 , wherein a source code of the program representing the dedicated motion flow is displayed on the display device. 6. A program creation supporting apparatus supporting creation of a program for work by a robot, the apparatus comprising: an input device detecting an operation by a user; a display device displaying an image; and a control circuit determining a type of the work by the operation to select the type, displaying a dedicated motion flow showing a sequence of motion of the robot corresponding to the type and containing a dedicated object showing the motion for which a change of the sequence of the motion of the robot is not allowed on the display device, and converting the dedicated object into a versatile object showing the motion for which a change of the sequence of the motion of the robot is allowed by the operation to convert the dedicated object. 7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program creation supporting program for supporting creation of a program for work by a robot, the program for controlling a computer to execute processing comprising: detecting an operation by a user on an input device; determining a type of the work by the operation to select the type; displaying a dedicated motion flow showing a sequence of motion of the robot corresponding to the type and containing a dedicated object showing the motion for which a change of the sequence of the motion of the robot is not allowed on a display device; and converting the dedicated object into a versatile object showing the motion for which a change of the sequence of the motion of the robot is allowed by the operation to convert the dedicated object.
