  • Publication number: 20200277139
    Abstract: An arm robot is configured to take an object out of a storage shelf and a transfer robot is configured to transfer the storage shelf together with the object to an operation range of the arm robot. A robot teaching database stores raw teaching data for the arm robot based on a storage shelf coordinates model value that is a three-dimensional coordinates model value of the storage shelf and a robot hand coordinates model value that is a three-dimensional coordinates model value of the robot hand. A robot data generation unit is configured to correct the raw teaching data based on a detection result of a sensor detecting a relative position relationship between the storage shelf and the robot hand, and generate robot teaching data to be supplied to the arm robot.

  • Patent number: 7872099
    Abstract: A camera device includes: an iris unit for varying exposure; a shutter control unit for varying a shutter speed of an imaging element; and a control unit for controlling the signal processing unit and the entire device. The camera device further includes: an exposure target calculation unit for calculating a control value used for controlling the iris unit or the shutter control unit so that an exposure amount will be a target value based on information on a signal level from a signal processing unit; and a malfunction judgment unit for determining a malfunction in the device based on information on the control value obtained by the exposure target calculation unit and the signal level from the signal processing unit.
