Patent number: 11964402Abstract: In a robot control system, the operation of a mobile robot that moves autonomously inside a facility is controlled based at least on an image captured by a photographing device that photographs a blind area located at a blind angle to the mobile robot. When entry of the mobile robot into a predetermined area corresponding to the blind area is detected, the amount of information obtainable from an image captured by the photographing device is increased.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Shiro Oda, Tetsuya Taira, Satoshi Toyoshima, Yuta Watanabe, Takeshi Matsui, Takayoshi Nasu, Kei Yoshikawa, Yusuke Ota, Yutaro Ishida, Yuji Onuma, Kyosuke Arai

Patent number: 11914397Abstract: A robot control system according to the present embodiment is a robot control system that controls a plurality of mobile robots that can autonomously move in a facility. The robot control system acquires error information indicating that an error has occurred in a first transport robot, acquires transported object information related to a transported object of the first transport robot, determines a second transport robot able to transport the transported object of the first transport robot among the transport robots based on the transported object information and the error information, and moves the second transport robot to a transfer location of the transported object of the first transport robot.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Shiro Oda, Tetsuya Taira, Satoshi Toyoshima, Yuta Watanabe, Takeshi Matsui, Takayoshi Nasu, Kei Yoshikawa, Yusuke Ota, Yutaro Ishida, Yuji Onuma, Kyosuke Arai

Patent number: 9774233Abstract: In one embodiment, a generator includes an alternating current exciter to output first, second and third alternating currents respectively having first, second and third phases, and a rotary rectifier to convert the first, second and third alternating currents into first, second and third direct currents, respectively. The generator further includes a rotating shaft on which the exciter and the rectifier are mounted, and plural conductors mounted on the shaft, and including one or more first conductors, one or more second conductors and one or more third conductors to respectively supply the first, second and third alternating currents from the exciter to the rectifier. The plural conductors include one or more conductor groups in each of which two or more conductors are collectively arranged, and each of the conductor groups includes the two or more conductors arranged to cancel a magnetic field around each conductor in the same group.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2014Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBAInventors: Kenmei Shimanuki, Hidetoshi Sugimura, Toru Otaka, Daisuke Hiramatsu, Kazuma Tsujikawa, Wataru Nakamura, Kazuki Sato, Kunitomi Niida, Yutaro Arai, Keiichiro Kimura
