摘要:
In order to recognize an object to be recognized, the present invention comprises a plurality of photosensors for receiving reflected rays from an object to be recognized, and a plurality of image recognition processors. Said plurality of sensors and processors are connected in network structure, so that each of said plurality of sensors recognizes only a part of the object to be recognized and applies signals to said plurality of image recognition processors, and each of said plurality of image recognition processors recognizes the object to be recognized according only to said image recognition signals applied from said plurality of sensors adjacent to each other. Further, in order to make the image of the object, each of said image recognition processor recognizes the image of the object, in conjunction with adjacent image recognition processors, according to the information showing the profile of each part of the object, and applies signals to light emitting devices for displaying the image.

A plurality of machine tools are disposed along a circulating conveyor transporting materials to be processed by the machine tools, and material selector subsystems associated with the respective machine tools are provided together with a load/unload command subsystem. The material selector subsystems exchange information therebetween to track materials loaded on the conveyor under command of the load/unload command subsystem so as to reserve materials requested by the individual machine tools. Each of the reserved materials is unloaded from the conveyor under command of the load/unload command subsystem as soon as it arrives at the position of the corresponding machine tool.

This invention relates to a cellular type robot apparatus consisting of a plurality of robot cells each having intelligence, wherein each robot cell controls its own operation on the basis of information exchange with adjacent robot cells. The operations of the robot cells are as a whole coordinated, and each robot cell can be controlled without the necessity of change of hard- and soft-wares even when one or more of the robot cells are out of order or when the robot needs to be expanded. Each robot cell can be provided so that the robot can be increased or decreased in a building block arrangement. More definitely, each robot cell has arms corresponding to hands and feet, and is able to control its own operation. As the robot cells are connected and combined through transmission routes so as to be able to exchange information, they can operate cooperatively as a group to perform a manpulative action. The operation of the group of robot cells is designed also to constitute the shape of a predetermined pattern besides the operations of entwining an object, and gripping and moving the object.

摘要:
A decentralized processing system having a plurality of subsystems of the same type which are connected to one another. Each subsystem has a diagnosis means for diagnosis of failure in other subsystems, and functions to take a suitable countermeasure in response to the result of the diagnosis. When a failure has occurred in any one of the subsystems constituting the processing system, each subsystem can conduct a suitable fault time processing in accordance with the state of the failure. After the recovery from the failure, each system can execute a processing for recovering the ordinary status. The subsystems can correspond with each other to conduct the processings in synchronization as required. It is, therefore, possible to attain synchronous operation of two or more subsystems in various control systems or the like.
摘要:
A message communication method and system in which a message signal to be communicated includes a function code signal portion and a data signal portion, the former being an index to the content of the latter and forming the substantial part of the message signal, and in which such a message signal is communicated not only among equipment blocks connected with one and the same communication line but also among those connected with different communication lines coupled with each other through a common equipment block connected with both of the coupled communication lines. Function codes being indices to the contents to data required to be processed by equipment blocks connected with the coupled communication lines are respectively registered in different memories in the common equipment block and the function code signal portions of message signals received by the common equipment block are compared with the stored function codes in the common equipment block and if concurrence takes place transferrence of the message signals between the coupled communication lines is effected.
摘要:
Transmission line groups consisting of a plurality of loop-like transmission routes are mutually connected via transmission controllers, and are arranged on a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. Therefore, processing units are connected as a homogeneous network in the matrix or mesh form by means of the loop-like transmission routes. The transmission controllers corresponding to the nodes of the network have a communication management function such that they send the data without grasping the situation on the transmission routes, independently check the trouble between the adjacent transmission controllers and specify the position of trouble. A communication network system such as a high local area network (LAN) or the like can be realized.
