Patent attributes
A robot control device controls a robot. The robot control device includes an image recognition processing unit, a robot control processing unit, and a monitoring processing unit. The image recognition processing unit recognizes first information on the basis of measurement data in a monitoring area obtained from a vision sensor, the first information being information about a human present in the monitoring area. The robot control processing unit controls the motion of the robot in accordance with a motion program for moving the robot. On the basis of surrounding object data and the first information obtained from the image recognition processing unit, the monitoring processing unit determines a possibility of pinching of the human between the robot and a surrounding object. The surrounding object data is data indicating three-dimensional disposition states of the robot and a surrounding object that is an object other than the robot in the monitoring area.
