Publication number: 20200171655Abstract: An automatic control method and an automatic control device are provided. The automatic control device includes a processing unit, a memory unit and a camera unit. The memory unit records an object database and a behavior database. When the automatic control device is operated in an automatic learning mode, the camera unit obtains a continuous image, and the processing unit analyzes the continuous image to determine whether there is an object being moved and matching an object model recorded in the object database in a first placement area. When the continuous image displays the object is moved, the processing unit obtain control data corresponding to moving the object from the first placement area to a second placement area, and the processing unit records the control data to the behavior database. The control data includes trajectory data and motion posture data of the object.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2019Publication date: June 4, 2020Applicant: Metal Industries Research & Development CentreInventors: Shi-Wei Lin, Fu-I Chou, Chun-Ming Yang, Wei-Chan Weng, Chih-Chin Wen

Publication number: 20180093365Abstract: A vacuum device includes a negative pressure pump and a vacuum-switching device. The vacuum-switching device includes a cylinder, a piston and a piston-driving device. The cylinder has a first hole row, which includes a plurality of first vacuum suction holes. The cylinder has two through holes at two opposite ends, wherein either one of the two through holes is connected with a negative pressure pump. The piston is slidably connected within a hollow chamber inside the cylinder. The piston-driving device enables the piston to be slid back and forth so as to define two different-pressured chambers, thereby switching the first vacuum suction holes progressively to a different pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2016Publication date: April 5, 2018Inventors: Hao-Jhen CHANG, Chia-Chu HUANG, Chih-Chin WEN, Shi-Wei LIN, Cheng-Chang CHIU
