Abstract:
A robot is provided with a base to be fixed to an installation surface, and an arm unit having a plurality of arm bodies sequentially and revolvably coupled with each other with one end coupled to the base through a joint unit. The arm unit has a stopper mechanism having a movable stopper member capable of restricting a revolving motion of the arm bodies to a predetermined revolving range. The movable stopper member is provided to one link of one of the pairs of links coupled through the joint unit, whereas the fixed stopper member, which is engaged with the movable stopper member, is provided to another link of the one of the pairs of links.
Abstract:
Provided is a robot further improved in safety. The robot includes at least one link which is rotatably coupled around an axis, a motor which rotates the link around the axis, a first sensor which detects a rotation state of the motor, and a second sensor which detects a rotation state of the link. The robot also includes a controller which controls the rotation of the link based on information from the first sensor. The controller determines an operation state of at least one of the first sensor and the second sensor, based on first information from the first sensor and second information from the second sensor.

Abstract:
Provided are a working robot and a robot system serving as a type coexisting with humans and improving reliability in safety. The working robot includes an arm, a driving mechanism, and a controller. The arm includes a plurality of link members that are coupled rotatably around shafts. The driving mechanism includes a driving source, and a plurality of power transmission paths capable of transmitting motive power from the driving source to the link members with mutually different numbers of revolutions or torques. The controller switches the power transmission paths, based on a sensing result for a moving object including a human body in a certain area.
Abstract:
The working robot includes a plurality of link members coupled rotatably around shafts, a motor driving the link members, and a controller switching a state of use of winding wires of the motor based on a result of sensing a moving object including a human in a predetermined area. The controller switches the state of use of the winding wires of the motor, to drive the link members in a first mode in which the number of revolutions or the torque of the motor is relatively large, when the moving object is not present; and switches the state of use of the winding wires of the motor, to drive the link members in a second mode in which the number of revolutions or the torque of the motor is relatively small, when the moving object is present.
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 control apparatus generally performs a control such that a robot picks up components from a component loading tray in order according to an assembling sequence and assembles the components. Meanwhile, when the robot fails to pick up the components according to the assembling sequence, the control apparatus controls the operation of the robot such that the robot first picks up a component having a high picking-up possibility and first assembles the corresponding picked-up components according to the assembling sequence between the corresponding picked-up components. Thereafter, the control apparatus changes a picking-up condition and controls the operation of the robot such that the robot picks up the components before assembling based on the changed picking-up condition and assembles the components.
Abstract:
A picking system includes a picking robot, a shape obtainer, and circuitry. The picking robot is configured to hold an object. The shape obtainer is configured to obtain shape information of the object. The circuitry is configured to estimate a weight of the object based on the shape information obtained by the shape obtainer; and control the picking robot to hold the object based on the weight estimated by the weight estimator.
Abstract:
An identification information obtaining unit obtains identification information which is assigned in order to identify an industrial machine. An extraction target identifying unit identifies as an extraction target a portion of the document information accumulated in advance, based on the identification information. An extracting unit extracts the extraction target from the document information. A display unit displays what is extracted by the extracting unit.
