    Abstract: An intelligent mobile robot having a robot base controller and an onboard navigation system that, in response to receiving a job assignment specifying a job location that is associated with one or more job operations, activates the onboard navigation system to automatically determine a path the mobile robot should use to drive to the job location, automatically determines that using an initially-selected path could cause the mobile robot to run into stationary or non-stationary obstacles, such as people or other mobile robots, in the physical environment, automatically determines a new path to avoid the stationary and non-stationary obstacles, and automatically drives the mobile robot to the job location using the new path, thereby avoiding contact or collisions with those obstacles. After the mobile robot arrives at the job location, it automatically performs said one or more job operations associated with that job location.

    Abstract: Method to control the interference and/or collision between mechanical members of at least two operating or one operating unit with respect to fixed positions. At least one operating unit is associated with a position detector or with a position simulator, and is equipped with an electric which drives a mechanical member. The method is managed by a management and control unit. The control of the operating units occurs in two phases, verifying point-by-point the position of the mechanical member as a function of the current dynamics and the braking or acceleration times and spaces (first phase), and verifying the intensity of point-by-point current supplied to at least one electric motor (second phase).

    Abstract: A systems and methods for preventing tool damage in a computer controlled machining apparatus is provided. Conventional CNC machining apparatuses do not provide techniques for checking whether tool movement will interfere with one or more surfaces of the workpiece to be machined. The systems and methods carried out by the systems described herein address at least these deficiencies by providing a “crash test” or tool damage prevention routine that tests whether or not damage may occur based on a contact with the workpiece.

    Abstract: A measurement system that includes an industrial machine and an interferometer can detect when abnormality has occurred in measurement targeted at a reflector attached to a movable body, for example, in a case where the movable body has moved too close to the interferometer. A judging section of the interferometer judges that there is abnormality in measurement targeted at the reflector on the basis of a received-light signal. Upon such an abnormality judgment, a stop command outputting section of the interferometer outputs a stop command to the industrial machine. A stopping section of the industrial machine stops the driving operation of a moving mechanism upon receiving an input of the stop command, thereby stopping the movement of the movable body. The measurement system makes it possible to prevent the industrial machine, which includes the movable body and the moving mechanism, from colliding with the interferometer.
