Abstract:
A simulation device that performs a convey operation simulation in which the position and orientation of a workpiece in the conveyor device changes in a random fashion. The simulation device may include a model arrangement section, an offset setting section for setting an offset amount from the reference position of the workpiece model, a conveying operation execution section for executing a convey operation to convey the workpiece model by the conveyor device model, an interference detection section for detecting interference between two workpiece models, a non-interfering position search section for searching for a non-interfering position where interference does not occur, and a workpiece position correction section for correcting the position of at least one workpiece model based on the non-interfering position.

Claim (Index 1):
A simulation device for a robot system in which a robot carries out a work on a plurality of workpieces conveyed by a conveyor device, the simulation device comprising:\n a model arrangement section configured to arrange, in a virtual space, a plurality of workpiece models and a conveyor device model that model the plurality of workpieces and the conveyor device, respectively; an offset setting section configured to set an offset amount of each workpiece model from its reference position predetermined with respect to the conveyor device model; a conveying operation execution section configured to carry out a conveying operation to sequentially convey the plurality of workpiece models, each of which is arranged at a position obtained from the reference position and the offset amount, by the conveyor device model; an interference detection section configured to detect interference between at least two workpiece models sequentially conveyed by the conveyor device model; a non-interfering position search section configured to search a non-interfering position where the interference does not occur for at least one of the at least two workpiece models for which the interference is detected; and a workpiece position correction section configured to correct a position of the at least one workpiece model arranged on the conveyor device model, based on the searched non-interfering position.
