Abstract:
A dispensing system includes an automatic dispensing machine configured to perform a dispensing work related to content of a container, and at least one controller configured to acquire measured data of properties of the content, and control the automatic dispensing machine to perform a dispensing operation based on the measured data.
Abstract:
A processing system at least including a processing apparatus including a robot configured to perform, in accordance with operation commands, processes on a container that contains an object to be processed in a biochemistry, biotechnology, or life science field includes an image capturing apparatus and a monitoring apparatus. The image capturing apparatus continuously captures a moving image of the processes. The monitoring apparatus includes a storage unit, a list display unit, and a playback unit. The storage unit stores the moving image captured by the image capturing apparatus. The list display unit displays at least one of a list of the processes and a list of operation information items of each indicating an operation the robot. The playback unit plays the moving image from a timing corresponding to a process specified from the list of processes or an operation information item specified from the list of operation information items.
Abstract:
Provided is a robot system including: a robot including a hand; a unit job storage section configured to store a unit job; a linking job generation section configured to generate a linking job being a command to move the hand from an end position at which a first unit job has ended to a start position at which a second unit job to be executed subsequently after the first unit job is started; an action command generation section configured to generate an action command for the robot by connecting the unit jobs and the linking job in series, based on arrangement of a plurality of processing symbols; and a required time calculation section configured to calculate a required time of the action command by adding required times of the unit jobs and a required time of the linking job.

Abstract:
A method of generating a robot operation command includes extracting a work command from an overall work flow; extracting, from a command definition database, a command definition corresponding to the extracted work command, the work command having been read; generating, by referring to the read work command, a set of unit jobs in which at least one work command is arranged in order, based on the extracted command definition; generating, for a plurality of unit jobs, a connecting job for causing a robot to be moved from an end position of a previous unit job to a start position of a subsequent unit job; and generating a robot operation command in which the unit jobs and the connecting job are continuous.

Abstract:
Provided is an operation command generation device, which is configured to generate an operation command, which is a collection of jobs to fee performed by a process system of at least a robot, based on a protocol chart of at least a plurality of process symbols, the operation command generation device circuitry includes: a job generation unit configured to generate, based on the protocol chart, a job; apriority instruction unit configured to instruct a priority condition for determining a job execution order; and an execution order determination unit configured to determine an execution order of the jobs based on the priority instructed by the priority instruction unit by using a first condition about repeatedly execution of the jobs according to the number of the containers and a second condition about execution order of the jobs according to the arrangement of the process symbols in the protocol chart.
Abstract:
Provided is a protocol chart creation device, including: an initial symbol arrangement unit configured to arrange an initial symbol representing an initial state of a container for containing a specimen; a procedure line arrangement unit configured to arrange a procedure line representing a process order for the container in a direction along a first axis from the initial symbol; a process symbol arrangement unit configured to arrange a process symbol representing a process to be carried out on the container along the procedure line, and to arrange, when there are a plurality of processes to be carried out on one container, the process symbols representing the processes along the procedure line; and a separation unit configured to separate arrangements of the initial symbols, the procedure lines, and the process symbols for different containers in a direction along a second axis intersecting the first axis.
