Patent number: 11945118Abstract: A method of planning works for robots includes creating a work plan for a plurality of robots, each having a work tool, sharing at at least one station a work to a plurality of work parts of the workpiece. The method includes the steps of calculating a distribution of the work parts to the robots, calculating, as a robot operation, a work order of the work parts and a moving path of the work tool for each of the robots based on the calculated work distribution, and calculating a disposed location of each of the robots with respect to the workpiece and a station where the robot is disposed so that an inter-robot interference does not occur during execution of the calculated robot operation.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2019Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Koichi Masaoka, Shota Asazu, Hiroyuki Moriishi, Tomoya Sakuma, Yuji Hashiba, Jun Fujimori, Hitoshi Nariai, Kazumi Fukuhara

Patent number: 7860622Abstract: In this vehicle motion control apparatus, vehicle behavior sensors are arranged integrally with an integrated unit composed integrally of a control unit and a brake controller. An acceleration sensor is mounted in a section adjacent to the integrated unit. If an output value from the acceleration sensor for an airbag deployment exceeds a predetermined threshold due to a collision of the vehicle etc., the vehicle motion control apparatus determines there is a possibility that a mounting posture of the integrated unit relative to a vehicle body is tilted from a reference posture by a predetermined degree or more, then prohibiting performing an ESC control. And, the vehicle motion control apparatus lights a warning lamp to notify a driver of an occurrence of abnormality in the mounting posture of the integrated unit and to urge the driver to perform repairs for an adjustment of the mounting posture.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2007Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Advics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hitoshi Hashiba

Patent number: 7720589Abstract: A vehicle control device using brake hydraulic pressure includes a hydraulic unit having a housing and an electronic control unit having a casing. The housing of the hydraulic unit is mounted on a mounting surface of the casing of the electronic control unit so that the casing of the electronic control unit protrudes from the housing of the hydraulic unit to one side. On the protruding area of the casing, a bulge is formed in which a vehicle behavioral sensor is mounted. A control connector is also provided on the protruding area of the casing. The bulge does not protrude from the substantially square contour of the vehicle control device. Thus, the bulge will scarcely increase the installation space of the vehicle control device. A vehicle behavioral sensor is mounted on a small substrate.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2005Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: Advics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hitoshi Hashiba

Patent number: 7623947Abstract: An abnormality determining apparatus is applied to a vehicle motion control apparatus in which a vehicle behavior sensor (yaw rate sensor, etc.) is integrally mounted to an integrated unit that is integrally composed of an HU (hydraulic unit) and ECU. In this abnormality determining apparatus, the pattern of the vibration noise appearing on the output from the vehicle behavior sensor (output from yaw rate sensor Yrfilpc, etc.) is obtained when various actuators such as motor, solenoid valves, or the like, that are mounted to the HU, are operated with a predetermined pattern for a primary check for the HU. When the pattern of the vibration noise is not within the predetermined normal pattern range, it is determined, according to the abnormal manner of the pattern of the vibration noise, that the abnormality of the vehicle behavior sensor, abnormal operation of the actuator in the HU, or the like occurs.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2006Date of Patent: November 24, 2009Assignee: Advics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hitoshi Hashiba, Kazunori Sakai

Patent number: 7613567Abstract: First and second acceleration sensor elements for detecting the acceleration of a vehicle in the direction in which the vehicle travels, and the acceleration of the vehicle in the direction transverse to the travel direction of the vehicle are mounted on a sensor substrate which is mounted on a control substrate of a vehicle control device. With the sensor substrate positioned such that the sensing directions of the respective sensor elements are perpendicular to or parallel to the vertical line, the outputs of the respective sensor elements are detected as zero errors or gain errors. The sensor substrate is then mounted on a vehicle and with the vehicle placed on a horizontal surface, a signal is sent to an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle control device so that the ECU can recognize that the vehicle is horizontal. Based on the outputs from the first and second sensor elements at this time, the deviation angles of the sensor elements about the X-axis and Y-axis directions are calculated.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2005Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Assignee: Advics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hitoshi Hashiba
