Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A robot system includes a robot cell that includes a robot and a cell in which the robot is provided and enables coexistence with a human, and an installation area of the robot cell is less than 637,500 mm 2 and the robot cell is movable. Further, the robot includes an n-th (n is an integer number equal to or more than one) arm rotatable about an n-th rotation shaft and an (n+1)th arm provided on the n-th arm rotatably about an (n+1)th rotation shaft in a shaft direction different from a shaft direction of the n-th rotation shaft, and a length of the n-th arm is longer than a length of the (n+1)th arm and the n-th arm and the (n+1)th arm can overlap as seen from the (n+1)th rotation shaft.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A robot system comprising a robot cell including a robot and a cell in which the robot is provided, wherein an installation area of the robot cell is less than 637,500 mm 2 , and the robot cell is movable. 2 . The robot system according to claim 1 , wherein the robot has: an n-th (n is an integer number equal to or more than one) arm rotatable about an n-th rotation shaft; and an (n+1)th arm provided on the n-th arm rotatably about an (n+1)th rotation shaft in a shaft direction different from a shaft direction of the n-th rotation shaft, a length of the n-th arm is longer than a length of the (n+1)th arm, and the n-th arm and the (n+1)th arm can overlap as seen from the (n+1)th rotation shaft. 3 . The robot system according to claim 2 , wherein the robot includes a base provided in the cell, and the n-th arm is provided on the base. 4 . The robot system according to claim 1 , wherein the installation area is less than 500,000 mm 2 . 5 . The robot system according to claim 1 , wherein the installation area is less than 400,000 mm 2 . 6 . The robot system according to claim 1 , wherein a positioning part that determines a position of the robot cell with respect to a target installation position of the robot cell is provided in the robot cell. 7 . The robot system according to claim 1 , further comprising: a movement mechanism that moves the robot cell; and a movement control unit that controls driving of the movement mechanism.
