Abstract: Generation of a wrinkle is prevented in a sticker when the sticker is peeled off from a release paper. A sticker affixing system includes an articulated robot, a controller that controls the articulated robot, a suction tool attached to a distal end of the articulated robot, and a sticker feeder that conveys a release paper. The suction tool is sucked to the sticker on the release paper. The controller causes the articulated robot to execute an operation of moving the suction tool in parallel with the release paper at a constant speed of the release paper in synchronization with the sticker feeder, an operation of peeling off the sticker at an edge A of a peeling base of the release paper, and an operation of affixing the sticker to the object to which the sticker is affixed.

Abstract: A control system (1) includes: a control device (100) that controls a robot (200); a three-dimensional sensor (300) that acquires positional information of a worker and the robot (200), which are included in a viewing-field area in a three-dimensional space; and a support device (400) that provides a user interface (411) for virtually setting a cooperation region in which the worker and the robot (200) are allowed to work. The control device (100) controls stopping or the speed of the robot (200) on the basis of whether or not the position of the worker or the robot (200) calculated on the basis of the positional information is included in the cooperation region, which is set by using the user interface (411), as well as the relative positional relationship between the worker and the robot (200) calculated on the basis of the positional information.

Abstract: In the present invention, contact between an operator and a robot that moves a workpiece is avoided, and an effect on an article is reduced. This robot controller (1), which controls the operation speed of a robot (2) that moves a workpiece (3), comprises: a prediction unit (11) that predicts contact from the position of a robot and the position of a person or object; and an acceleration change unit (12) that, when contact is predicted by the prediction unit, changes the acceleration at which the speed of the robot is reduced to perform an emergency stop in accordance with the presence of the workpiece.

Abstract: A multi-hole absorption tool includes an absorption surface including a plurality of absorption holes to which a seal is absorbed. Each of the plurality of absorption holes is classified so as to belong to at least one of a first region and a second region, and absorption holes belonging to the first region and absorption holes belonging to the second region are connected to different suction devices. The multi-hole absorption tool having this configuration can peel off the seal from a mount with no wrinkle in the seal, prevent positional displacement of the seal with respect to an object to which the seal is affixed, and affix the seal to the object.

Abstract: The disclosure realizes a highly reliable determination device for determining the distance to an object even if general-purpose optical distance measurement modules or the like are used. The determination device determines that an abnormality has occurred in at least one of a plurality of optical distance measurement modules when the distances respectively indicated by the optical distance measurement modules deviate from each other by a predetermined length or more.

Abstract: In a case in which a second distance between a future position of a robot and a future position of a person is shorter than a second predetermined distance, a modification unit modifies movement trajectory information such that the second distance is equal to or longer than the second predetermined distance. In a case in which a first distance is shorter than a first predetermined distance, a control unit stops or decelerates a movement of the robot, regardless of whether the movement trajectory information is modified. In a case in which the first distance is equal to or longer than the first predetermined distance and the movement trajectory information is modified, the control unit controls the movement of the robot on the basis of the movement trajectory information after modification.
