Abstract: A teaching device teaches tasks to a polar robot including an extendable arm supported to be able to turn and vertically rotate, and generates and displays a process chart representing the outline of the tasks of the robot. In the process chart, a plurality of hand task graphic elements each expressed in a form corresponding to a kind of a hand task of the polar robot are disposed along a first axis in an order, each of the hand task graphic elements is disposed along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis in accordance with a height of a hand reference point, each of the hand task graphic elements is rotated in accordance with a turning angle of the arm, and the hand task graphic elements are linked by link lines between the hand task graphic elements, each link line expressing a change in expansion and contraction length of the arm or turning radius of the hand reference point in a form of at least one of changes in hue, chroma, brightness, and line width.

Abstract: A robot system includes a robot arm mechanism equipped with an end effector; an operating device for operating a movement and a posture change of the end effector; and a control section for controlling the robot arm mechanism according to the input operation carried out via the operating device, in which the operating device equips a first operating button set and a second operating button set, the first operating button set is adapted for operating translational movement in which the end effector moves in positive and negative directions along each of three orthogonal axes of the robot coordinate system with a posture of the end effector on a robot coordinate system fixed, and the second operating button set is adapted for operating posture change motion in which the end effector rotates in positive and negative directions around each of three orthogonal axes of the hand coordinate system with an origin position of a hand coordinate system of the end effector on the robot coordinate system fixed.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems that can reduce the amount of sample necessary to detect or identify, or both detect and identify, a biomolecule, and increase the rate of denaturing of the biomolecule. A device for thermally denaturing a biomolecule may include: a substrate having low thermal conductivity; a heater disposed adjacent to the substrate; a temperature sensor disposed adjacent to the substrate; a semiconductor oxide film disposed adjacent to the substrate, a nanochannel formed in a region of the semiconductor oxide film, and a cover over the nanochannel.
