MACHINE LANGUAGE TRANSLATOR FOR ROBOT PROGRAM

PURPOSE:To make a machine language translator for robot program possible to prepare an correct an efficient program by sequentially executing an instruction not relating directly to robot operation when translating the program and by translating only the machine language of an instruction relating to the description of robot operation. CONSTITUTION:A program that is stored in a program storage 3 from an input section 2 is analyzed by a program language interpreting section 4, and in accordance with a result of analysis of a translation processing is carried out on the program by a machine language converting section 5. A sequential execution section 6, when a sequential execution mode is on, executes predetermined ones of interpreted instructions sent from the language interpreting section, or sends a result of the execution to a result display section 7. In this constitution, when an instruction for directly executing the description of robot operation appears, the translator executes the translation of machine language for this instruction. With this, the burden of the CPU is reduced. Further, when an instruction not relating directly to robot operation, the translator executes this instruction when this instruction is translated into a machine language. With this, a flow of processing can be made sure.
