Method of teaching traveling path to robot and robot having function of learning traveling path
First Claim
1. A method of teaching a traveling path to a robot, wherein in teaching a traveling path to an autonomously traveling robot, a teaching object moves, the robot monitors a position of the teaching object in time series and detects a movement of the teaching object based on data on time-series positional changes, and the robot moves according to the data on positional changes of the teaching object, and the robot detects a traveling direction and travel distance of the robot, accumulates the direction and distance in time series, and converts the direction and distance into path teaching data.

Abstract
In a method of teaching a traveling path to a robot, when a self-propelled robot learns a traveling path, automatic processing is performed as follows: an instructor only follows the traveling path, and the self-propelled robot set at a learning mode follows the traveling path of the instructor and determines path teaching data. Thus, it is possible to teach a path to the self-propelled robot without the necessity for the instructor to directly edit position data.
