Patent attributes
The robot simulation apparatus includes: a workpiece model setting unit 11 that sets a workpiece model obtained by forming a model of a three-dimensional shape of a workpiece; a bulk pile data generating unit 20 that generates virtual bulk pile data of a plurality of workpiece models piled up in a virtual work space as a virtually formed work space; a region estimating unit 22 that identifies an estimated region that is estimated to be three-dimensionally measurable by a sensor unit which is disposed above the work space, based on a position and a posture of each workpiece model in the bulk pile data; and a picking motion simulating unit 30 that executes a simulation for verifying the picking motion from the bulk pile of the workpiece models in the virtual work space, based on data of the estimated region identified by the region estimating unit 22.
