    摘要: An image processor includes memory configured to store the shape of an object, extracting circuitry configured to extract a second image of a target range from a first image of the object, distance detecting circuitry configured to process the second image to detect distances from at least three parts projected within the target range to the camera, plane estimating circuitry configured to estimate a plane projected within the target range using the distances based on the at least three parts, angle detecting circuitry configured to detect an angle of the plane with respect to an optical axis of the camera, contour estimating circuitry configured to estimate, based on the shape of the object and the angle of the plane, a contour of the object projected on the first image, and identifying circuitry configured to identify the object on the first image based on the contour.

    摘要: A method includes: (a) causing a robotic arm to position a contacting structure of the arm laterally in a horizontal direction in relation to a first subject on a target object; (b) causing the arrn to bring the contacting structure into contact with at least three locations on the first subject; (c) detecting positions of the contacting structure in relation to the robot when contacting the locations; (d) detecting a position of the first subject in relation to the robot by using the detected positions of the contacting structure; (e) performing same steps as the steps (a) to (d) for a second subject on the target object; and (f) detecting a position of the robot in relation to the target object by using the positions of the subjects in relation to the robot and using positions of the subjects in relation to the target object.

    摘要: A control method includes: recording information of an operation target point that is a destination, each time an end effector of a robot moves to the operation target point on an operation path; acquiring a present position of the end effector upon receiving an origin return command; detecting information of a return target point on a return path for returning the end effector to an origin; detecting information of the operation target point already reached immediately before a kth return target point or having a distance closest to the kth return target point, as a (k+1)th return target point; repeating detection of the information of the return target point to detect information of second to (n+1)th return target points; and moving the end effector along the return path passing through the first to (n+1)th return target points and returning to the origin.

    摘要: A robot system includes a manufacturing system including a robot and peripheral equipment. There is a controller communicably connected to the robot, the peripheral equipment, and a portable information terminal. The controller includes a memory storing the operation program, operation mode setting circuitry to set an operation mode a teaching mode or a playback mode, operation controlling circuitry configured to control the operation of the robot in the teaching mode based on the operation command, and control the robot and the peripheral equipment in the playback mode in accordance with the operation program, and display controlling circuitry configured to control the portable information terminal in the teaching mode to display on a display an operation screen through which the operation command is inputted, and control the portable information terminal in the playback mode to display on the displaying part a screen different from the operation screen.
