    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for time calibration. The method can include, in responses to receiving sensing data which indicates a deviation of a tool from an object to be operated by a robot with the tool, triggering the robot to perform a plurality of transformations. Each transformation causing the tool to contact the object at a reference position; determining joint positions of a joint of the robot holding the tool or the object after the plurality of transformations; and determining a position relationship between the tool and the robot at least partially based on the joint positions and the reference position.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for assembling a flexible ring-shaped workpiece to a device. According to some systems, each includes a robot; an apparatus adapted to be coupled to the robot via a coupling component for operating the workpiece or a part of the device; and a shaping plate adapted to receive at least a part of the workpiece which is moved by the apparatus to shape the workpiece into a predetermined shape. According to some apparatuses, each includes a first gripper adapted to be operated by the robot to grip the workpiece already shaped into the predetermined shape to allow the workpiece to be coupled to the device. With the apparatus according to embodiments of the present disclosure, a flexible ring-shaped workpiece such as a belt can be automatically assembled by a robot to various devices.

    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting a surface condition of an object. The apparatus comprises a light source, a reflective face and an imaging device. The imaging device is configured to receive reflected light emanating from the reflective face. The reflective face is oriented at a first acute angle relative to an optical axis of the imaging device, such that a projection area of a virtual image of a surface formed via the reflective face is greater than a projection area of the surface on a plane perpendicular to the optical axis.
