Patent number: 9073210Abstract: An apparatus executes movement control that causes a robot arm equipped with a camera to move up to an object, thereby enabling a manipulator to move to an object quickly, accurately, and stably as a control system. Specifically, when the object is not detected, the apparatus executes teaching playback control to cause a manipulator to move along a path up to a target position set in advance based on a position of the object. When the object is detected, the apparatus defines a position closer to the object than the target position as a new target position, sets a new path up to the new target position, executes teaching playback control to cause the manipulator to move along the new path until a switching condition for switching the movement control is fulfilled. When the switching condition is fulfilled, the apparatus executes visual servo control.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2013Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Ryo Nakajima, Hideari Kamachi, Gentoku Fujii

Patent number: 8610026Abstract: The method of lap-welding of metal plates using a laser beam, wherein at least one of the metal plates is surface-treated, includes putting a metal plate on the other metal plate and forming a gap between the metal plates so that gas generated at the treated surface at the time weld can be dissipated therethrough. A surface-treated first work and a surface-treated second work are placed one on the other and clamped by a clamp with an opening of the clamp centered at the location on the first work to be welded. Then a laser beam is directed to the location to form a weld. The beam is then directed near the inner periphery of the opening to form a heated portion so that the heated portion deflects to form a gap through which the gas generated at the treated surface dissipates thereby reducing gas pressure.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2009Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Haruhiko Kobayashi, Satoshi Ohkubo, Shinichi Miyasaka, Koji Oda, Naoki Takahashi, Hideari Kamachi
