Method for controlling a robot, in particular an industrial robot, and device for controlling the robot

摘要

The invention relates to a method for controlling a robot (10), in particular an industrial robot, and a device for controlling the robot (10). It is provided that a method for controlling a robot (10), in particular an industrial robot, as well as a device for carrying out this method is provided. The method comprises the following steps: First, an area up to 360 ° around the robot (10) is to be divided into area areas (12). The surface regions (12) are components of a coordinate system of the robot (10), the surface regions (12) each comprising at least one surface element (14) and wherein each surface element (14) is weighted with at least one protective field information. Subsequently, a coordinate system is to be calibrated by a scanning device (16) with the coordinate system of the robot (10). Thereafter, the scanning device (16) is aligned in order to scan the respective surface areas (12) completely. The respective at least one protective field information with which a respective area element (14) is weighted is provided to the scanning device (16). It is then provided that the surface regions (12) are monitored by means of the scanning device (16), in particular whether a specific event takes place in at least one of the surface regions (12). At least one specific security event is triggered at the robot (10) by means of a control device as a function of the specific event and the respective protective field information, wherein at least one weighted area element (14) is assigned at least one additional user-defined command information parallel to the at least one protective field information, so that by means of the at least one action on the robot (10) can be triggered for additional command information if at least one user-defined event is registered in the area element (14).
