Abstract:
A mobile robot has a seating part, a moving apparatus to move the seating part, and a robot part with a base part to be attached to the seating part, a body capable of rotating around a vertical axis normal to an attaching surface which the seating part to be attached to the base part, and an arm connected to the body having a plurality of joints. The seating part has a first surface facing a work that is subject to the operation by the robot part and a second surface that is different from the first surface, and the arms are formed such that the positional relationship between the arms and the first surface is substantially identical to the positional relationship between the arms and the second surface according to the rotation of the body around the vertical axis.
Abstract:
A robot system of the present disclosure includes a robot and a controller configured to control motion of the robot, and the controller includes: a motion mode storage unit storing a plurality of motion modes for controlling the robot to switch a motion state of the robot from a normal motion state to a special motion state when a predetermined first condition is satisfied; and a motion mode switching unit configured to switch the motion mode of the robot to another motion mode when, while a particular motion mode stored in the motion mode storage unit is in execution, a predetermined second condition for the particular motion mode is satisfied with a first condition for the particular motion mode satisfied.
Abstract:
A robot system includes a robot including leading end, base, and multi-articular arm, and circuitry that controls the atm to move the end based on motion control program specifying transition over time of target position and posture of the end, the transition including correction target portion starting and ending in the transition; controls the arm to move the end in response to guided manipulation applying external force to the robot while the circuitry controls the arm; obtains relative command information based on the target position and posture at start of the correction portion and specifying the target position and posture at points in the correction portion including start and end in the correction portion; and controls the arm to move the end from the position and posture based on the information, beginning at time when movement of the arm controlled by the circuitry in response to the manipulation has ended.
Abstract:
A robot system includes a robot, a sensor, and a processor. The sensor is configured to detect an external force acting on the robot. The processor is configured to move the robot in a forward direction such that a representative point of the robot moves along a motion track in the forward direction; move the robot in a reverse direction such that the representative point moves along the motion track in the reverse direction opposite to the forward direction when the external force satisfies a first condition which includes a condition that the external force is larger than a first threshold force; and move the robot to reduce the external force when the external force satisfies a second condition which includes a condition that the external force is larger than a second threshold force even after the robot has been moved in the reverse direction.
Abstract:
A robot system includes a plurality of robots, a control device, a common work table, and a calibration device. The control device is configured to control the plurality of robots. On the common work table, the plurality of robots are configured to work. Based on a position of a first robot having a calibrated coordinate relative to a position of a second robot among the plurality of robots, the calibration device is configured to calibrate a coordinate of the second robot.
Abstract:
A robot system includes robot, an image capture device, a plurality of illumination devices, and a control device. The robot is configured to perform a predetermined work on a to-be-processed material. The image capture device is configured to capture an image of the to-be-processed material and has a dynamic range. The plurality of illumination devices are configured to illuminate the to-be-processed material. The control device is configured to control at least one illumination device among the plurality of illumination devices to keep an amount of light received by the image capture device within the dynamic range of the image capture device.
Abstract:
A robot system includes a planar sign, a robot, a distance direction sensor, and a controller. The controller is configured to control the robot and includes a map data memory and a progress direction determining device. The map data memory is configured to store map data of a predetermined running path including a position of the planar sign. The progress direction determining device is configured to compare a detection result of the distance direction sensor and the stored map data so as to determine a progress direction of the robot.
Abstract:
A robot system, including one or more robots which are provided to a first area where an entry by a person is restricted, and configured to perform a first work which includes one or more steps in the first area, a controller configured to control an operation of the one or more robots, and a visitor detector configured to detect a visitor to the first area. The controller includes a first work control portion configured to control the one or more robots so that the one or more robots perform the first work in the first area, and a first suspension control portion configured to control a predetermined at least a first robot of the one or more of the robots when one or more of the robots are performing one of the steps in the first area based on control by the first work control portion and the visitor is detected by the visitor detector, so that the first robot performs a predetermined act of suspension after performing the first work up to any predetermined stage, including an intermediate stage of the one step, a successful completion stage of the one step, and a successful completion stage of another step after the one step.
