Laser Processing Robot System for Performing Laser Processing Using Robot
First Claim
1. A laser processing robot system for performing laser processing of a workpiece, using a robot having an arm to which a laser irradiation device for emitting a laser beam for processing is attached, the laser processing robot system comprising:
- a robot control device which causes the robot to perform an operation of the laser processing without output of the laser beam;
an imaging device for capturing an actual image including the robot which is caused to perform an operation of the laser processing without output of the laser beam;
a display device for displaying, in real time, the actual image; and
an image processing device which is connected to the robot control device and which has an augmented reality image processing unit for performing augmented reality image processing of the actual image, whereinthe augmented reality image processing unit is adapted to superimpose a virtual image representing at least one of a laser beam obtained by assuming that the laser beam is emitted from the laser irradiation device to the workpiece, and an irradiation position of the laser beam, onto the actual image, and to display the superimposed image on the display device.

Abstract
A laser processing robot system, in which an augmented reality processing technology is used to enable a processing laser beam and its irradiation position to be safely and easily seen, is provided. A laser processing robot system includes an image processing device having an augmented reality image processing unit for performing augmented reality image processing for an actual image including an image of a robot captured by an imaging device. The augmented reality image processing unit is adapted to superimpose a virtual image representing at least one of a laser beam obtained by assuming that the laser beam is emitted from a laser irradiation device to a workpiece, and an irradiation position of the laser beam, onto the actual image, and to display the superimposed image on the display device.
