  • Patent number: 11642782
    Abstract: A conveyance robot system according to the present disclosure includes a conveyance robot, and a robot control unit configured to control an operation of picking up an object performed by the conveyance robot, wherein the robot control unit determines that a movable range area, which is an area outside a safety cover where a robot arm is operated, satisfies a safety ensuring condition that can regard safety of the movable range area as equivalent to the safety inside the safety cover and allow the robot arm to perform a work while projecting toward the shelf.

    Date of Patent: May 9, 2023
    Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA
    Inventors: Fuminori Saito, Atsunori Kobayashi, Akihiro Kimura, Hidenori Yabushita, Fukashi Andoh, Yoshihiro Okumatsu, Takeshi Nishida, Akihito Goto, Reoto Uetake
  • Patent number: 11590654
    Abstract: A conveyance robot system according to the present disclosure includes an intrusion detection sensor that detects an intrusion of an object into the arm opening, and a distance sensor that measures a clearance distance indicating a distance between an arm entry/exit surface and a shelf, the arm entry/exit surface being a surface of the conveyance robot in which the arm opening is provided from among surfaces of the conveyance robot 1 constituting the safety cover, and the object being stored in the shelf. The distance sensor is disposed at a fixed height of the shelf in a horizontal direction and at a height of the shelf corresponding to a part to be measured.

  • Publication number: 20210170601
    Abstract: A conveyance robot system according to the present disclosure includes an intrusion detection sensor that detects an intrusion of an object into an arm opening, and a distance sensor that measures a clearance distance indicating a distance between an arm entry/exit surface and a shelf, the arm entry/exit surface being a surface of a conveyance robot in which the arm opening is provided from among surfaces of the conveyance robot constituting a safety cover, and an object being stored in the shelf. The robot control unit disables the intrusion detection sensor to allow a robot arm to perform a work by protruding from the shelf when the clearance distance becomes less than or equal to a present high-speed work allowance threshold.
