    摘要: A method includes: (a) causing a robotic arm to position a contacting structure of the arm laterally in a horizontal direction in relation to a first subject on a target object; (b) causing the arrn to bring the contacting structure into contact with at least three locations on the first subject; (c) detecting positions of the contacting structure in relation to the robot when contacting the locations; (d) detecting a position of the first subject in relation to the robot by using the detected positions of the contacting structure; (e) performing same steps as the steps (a) to (d) for a second subject on the target object; and (f) detecting a position of the robot in relation to the target object by using the positions of the subjects in relation to the robot and using positions of the subjects in relation to the target object.

    摘要: A workpiece transferring device is a device to transfer a workpiece from a first placement surface to a second placement surface. The device includes a first arm including, at a tip thereof, a first fork having a first branch part extending sideward, and configured to move the first fork, and a second arm including, at a tip thereof, a second fork having a second branch part extending downward, and configured to move the second fork. When the first branch part passes in between the workpiece and the first placement surface, the second branch part is located ahead of the workpiece in a moving direction of the first branch part. When the first branch part passes in between the workpiece and the second placement surface, the second branch part is located ahead of the workpiece in the moving direction of the first branch part.

    摘要: A transfer robot transfers workpieces while sucking upper surfaces of the workpieces. The transfer robot includes a first hand body attached to a first robotic arm, a second hand body attached to a second robotic arm, a first suction part attached to the first hand body, and a second suction part attached to the second hand body. The first suction part has a pair of suction bodies, the pair of suction bodies extending in a horizontal first direction and separated from each other in a horizontal second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The second suction part has at least one suction body extending in the first direction, and the one suction body is changeable in an entering amount into an area between the pair of suction parts of the first suction part according to a relative movement of the second hand body in the first direction.
