    Abstract: A self-propelled robot autonomously travels on a structure having a target plane and performs work on the plane of the structure. The robot includes a robot main body provided with a moving means for autonomous traveling, a control unit that controls movement of the robot main body, and a working unit that performs work on the target plane. The control unit includes an edge detection unit that detects an edge of the target plane, and the edge detection unit includes an outer detection unit located outward from the working unit in the traveling direction of the robot main body and an inner detection unit located closer to the robot main body than the outer detection unit in the traveling direction of the robot main body.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining attributes (such as size and location) of target objects (e.g., tires) utilizing photoelectric sensors. At least two photoelectric sensors are positioned at respective angles relative to a direction of transport of a conveyance mechanism such that the light rays emitted therefrom cross the width of the conveyance mechanism and cross one another at an intersection point. Based, at least in part, upon respective interruption times of the light rays by the target object, and a location of the interruption of the light rays relative to the intersection point, one or more attributes of the target object are determined. Systems and methods further are provided for determining a height profile of a target object utilizing at least one photoelectric sensor.

    Abstract: A method of producing a resin-impregnated fiber bundle roll body includes unwinding a fiber bundle from a bobbin; winding the fiber bundle on a winding core rotating around a fixed axis through a movable winding head to prepare a product; and leading the fiber bundle taken off in the unwinding to the winding between the unwinding and winding, wherein the leading or winding includes a resin impregnating the fiber bundle, and the winding includes a fiber content calculation of a fiber content in a layer of the fiber bundle on the winding core of an intermediate product to control one according to the fiber content: a resin adhesion amount in the resin adhesion operation; a winding tension of the fiber bundle applied to the intermediate product; a removal amount of a surplus resin layer on an outer surface of the intermediate product; and a resin viscosity in the intermediate product.

    Abstract: A signal processing device for performing processing for reducing noise in a displacement amount measured on a basis of light reflected from a detection object includes a moving-average calculating unit that performs moving average calculation for an input signal to reduce a noise component included in the input signal and an infinite impulse response filter that reduces a noise component included in an input signal by digital signal processing. A filter coefficient of the infinite impulse response filter is determined on a basis of a difference between a first calculation result output by the moving-average calculating unit and a second calculation result output by the infinite impulse response filter when a same signal is input to the moving-average calculating unit and the infinite impulse response filter.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for efficient and accurate inspection of tubular goods are disclosed. Inner and outer diameter measurements of a tubular good along the entire length are obtained using laser or other light measurement systems. Discrete sections of a tubular good can be identified. For each section, at least one measurement of an outer diameter of an outside surface of the discrete section, and at least one measurement of an inner diameter of an inside surface of the discrete section are obtained. In addition, a geometric center coordinate for each discrete section of the tubular good is obtained. The measurements defining the outside surface, inside surface, and geometric center in association with the longitudinal position of each discrete section are recorded.
