  • Publication number: 20230349782
    Abstract: In a tactile sensing system, a sensor portion of a tactile sensor is provided at a grasping portion of a robot, and outputs plural signals respectively corresponding to plural first electrodes that face a second electrode. On the basis of all or some of the plural signals, an output section calculates respective pressure values of plural pressure detecting positions within a contacting surface of the sensor portion which contacting surface contacts a workpiece, and outputs data of a pressure distribution. Further, on the basis of all or some of the plural signals, the output section calculates one aggregate shearing force value for the entire contacting surface, and outputs data of the aggregate shearing force value.

  • Patent number: 10572762
    Abstract: To each of points at a position corresponding to each of candidate points extracted from a target object image in a layer upper than a target object image, an area including the point at the position corresponding to the candidate point and an area threshold are set. As a result of predicting a degree of similarity, in a case where the degree of similarity has a value smaller than the area threshold, calculation of the degree of similarity is terminated in the middle. In a case where the degree of similarity has a value equal to or greater than the area threshold, calculation of the degree of similarity is continued, and in a case where the degree of similarity has a value greater than the area threshold when calculation of the degree of similarity is completed, a next area threshold is updated with a value greater than the area threshold.
