Abstract: In measurements using a sensor installed in the tip of a robot arm, it is necessary to synchronize a measurement operations of the sensor with the operations of the robot in order to improve the accuracy of the measurement. However, in the cases where the combination of a sensor and a robot is arbitrarily selected, it is not easy to build a measurement system for synchronizing the operations of the sensor with that of the robot. A measurement system configured to perform a measurement using a sensor installed in a robot, includes a synchronous processing unit configured to acquire a robot drive signal transmitted from a robot control unit configured to control the robot to the robot, and generate a trigger signal for triggering the sensor to start a measurement operation when the robot drive signal includes a command signal for the robot to start driving.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an information processing method for performing the following steps, and the resulting information includes captured image data including at least the robot arm every predetermined period: a step of causing a captured image data acquisition unit to acquire captured image data of an imaging target at least including a robot arm and a control object; a step of causing a control unit to change a state of the control object every predetermined period based on user setting; an image comparison step of causing an image comparison unit to compare the captured image data with reference image data; and a step of causing a result information acquisition unit to detect a predetermined state change based on a result of the comparison in the image comparison step, acquire result information regarding a work of the robot arm, and store the result information in a result information storage unit.

Abstract: To easily and quickly detect a predetermined shape on an object. A shape detection method for detecting the shape of an object, the method comprising: a step of acquiring data indicating three-dimensional point group data from the object by a sensor, a step of displaying the three-dimensional point group data in a display area of a terminal, a step of acquiring the display area in which the three-dimensional point group data is displayed, as two-dimensional image data, and a step of performing image analysis on the two-dimensional image data, and detecting a predetermined shape of the object.
