Patent number: 10286547Abstract: A robot control system comprising a plurality of robots and a worker terminal that is capable of sending operation commands to a plurality of robots, by using wireless communications. The worker terminal has: an identification part that identifies a target robot to be used for work, from among a plurality of robots; a reception part that receives operation instructions for the robot from a worker; and a wireless communications part that sends operation commands to only the robot identified as the target robot by the identification part, when an operation instruction is received by the reception part.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2015Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Ryuichiro Takaichi, Hiroyuki Inoue, Takamasa Yamaji, Teruki Yamada

Patent number: 7263217Abstract: To provide a three-dimensional monitoring apparatus capable of detecting with high accuracy an incoming of an object into a predetermined three-dimensional space by using pattern light as a detecting carrier. A three-dimensional monitoring apparatus comprising (1) an irradiating device for irradiating predetermined pattern light to three-dimensional space S to be monitored, (2) an imaging device for imaging a projection pattern projected by irradiating of the pattern light on an incoming object M and on a screen 5 in the space S to capture image data and (3) a measuring device to measure a position of the object M based on the comparison between a monitoring image captured by the imaging device when there is the object M in the space S and a reference image captured by the imaging device when there is no object M in the space S.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2003Date of Patent: August 28, 2007Assignee: Omron CorporationInventors: Noboru Kawaike, Ryuichiro Takaichi, Yorihisa Ikenaga, Toyoo Iida
