Abstract: A transfer robot includes a first arm provided rotatably around a first axis which extends along a vertical direction, a second arm connected to the first arm rotatably around a second axis which extends along the vertical direction, an arm distal end portion which is configured to be connected to a workpiece holder to hold a workpiece and which is connected to the second arm rotatably around a third axis which extends along the vertical direction, and a posture adjuster configured to rotate the workpiece around a first posture adjustment axis which intersects both the third axis and a direction extending toward the arm distal end portion away from the third axis.

Abstract: A planning system includes search circuitry configured to run a simulation to repeatedly generate candidate positions which are candidates for a target position with respect to a motion of a robot, and selection circuitry configured to select the target position among the candidate positions. The search circuitry includes evaluation circuitry configured to calculate an evaluation value corresponding to each of the candidate positions, estimation circuitry configured to generate a calculation model showing a relationship between each of the candidate positions and the evaluation value with a regression analysis, and setting circuitry configured to set a new candidate position based on the calculation model.

Abstract: A robot includes a robot body, a control processor, a detection circuit, a memory, and a determining circuit. The control processor is configured to control the robot body to perform a work on a workpiece while the workpiece is conveyed. The detection circuit is configured to detect external force which the robot body receives from the workpiece. The memory is to store a threshold force. The determining circuit is configured to determine whether the external force is equal to or larger than the threshold force.

Abstract: A robot system includes at least one robot, a first sensor, at least one second sensor, and circuitry. The at least one robot is to work on a workpiece.

Abstract: A robot according to an embodiment includes a base, a first structure, a second structure, and a third structure. The first structure is connected to the base to be rotatable about a first axis. The second structure is connected to the first structure to be rotatable about a second axis orthogonal to the first axis. The third structure is connected to the second structure to be rotatable about a third axis parallel to the second axis. The first structure and the third structure are formed by using cast materials having a same shape.

Abstract: A vertical articulated robot includes a base, a turning base, a first upper arm, a second upper arm, a front arm, a wrist assembly, a first motor, a second motor, a third motor, a fourth motor, and a wire body. The wire body includes a first wire portion, a second wire portion, a third wire portion, a fourth wire portion, a fifth wire portion, and a sixth wire portion. The first wire portion extends from the turning base along a third rotation axis and is connected to an outer surface of the first upper arm. The second wire portion extends from the first wire portion along a plane perpendicular to the third rotation axis and is connected to an outer surface of the first upper arm. The third wire portion extends in a U-shape from the second wire portion.
