    摘要: A robot having a force sensor and a tool fixture for operating on a workpiece that may have a complex surface contour is programmed by an operator first teaching the robot by a suitable technique such as lead through teaching a few gross points of the contour. These points, known as guiding points, are used to generate a program to be followed by the robot under the control of the robot controller and using force control during which the robot finalizes the guiding points and teaches one or more points on the contour intermediate adjacent guiding points. The controller or other computing device uses the points so taught to generate the path the robot tool fixture will follow when the tool is to operate on the workpiece.

    摘要: An industrial robot that uses a simulated force vector to allow a work piece held by the robot end effector to be mated with a work piece whose location and orientation is not precisely known to the robot. When the end effector makes contact with the location and orientation in which the other work piece is held the robot provides a velocity command to minimize the force of the contact and also provides a search pattern in all directions and orientations to cause the end effector to bring the work piece it is holding in contact with the other work piece. The search pattern and the velocity command are continued until the two work pieces mate.

    摘要: A sensor element adaptable for measurement of a physical parameter formed of a crystalline material and emitting luminescent spectra upon excitation by light spectra and the influence of said physical parameter. A first layer emitting luminescent spectra is formed of a semiconductor material containing dopant providing shallow energy levels and recombination centers with a concentration between 10.sup.15 to 10.sup.18 cm.sup.-3, and sandwiched between second and third layers of semiconductor material having low absorption for light excitation of the first layer, and the respective lattice constants of the second and third layers being substantially coincidental with the lattice constant of the first layer. The sensor element is formed of GaAs for the substrate and AlGaAs for the semiconductor layers, with appropriate variation in the concentration Al, Ga, and As for the various layers. Generally, the energy band gap of the layers sandwiching the luminescent emitting layer are higher than that of the emitting layer. In a modified embodiment, GaAs is used as the luminescence emitting layer with covering semiconductor layers of AlGaAs, with appropriate variation in the concentration of Al, Ga and As. In a further modification an additional semiconductor layer of AlGaAs is sandwiched between the active semiconductor layer and a non-active semiconductor layer to reduce or eliminate a shift in the wavelength emission of the sensor element.
