  • Publication number: 20230311336
    Abstract: An offline-to-online programming teaching system for robot arm trajectory and a method thereof are disclosed. In the system, a trajectory conversion and control device establishes an offline polishing reference trajectory and performs a polishing operation simulation using the offline polishing reference trajectory. The trajectory conversion and control device converts data flow of the simulation into a polishing reference trajectory. The trajectory conversion and control device calculates a deviation between an end position of the series robot arm and the polishing reference trajectory to generate a guidance force information. A haptic device adjusts the position command based on the guidance force information to achieve the technical effect of integrating offline-to-online programming to provide robot arm trajectory teaching.

  • Publication number: 20210398266
    Abstract: An object appearance detection system with posture detection and a control method thereof are provided. A controlling and computing device uses a first sensor and a second sensor to control a conveying production line, and controls a robotic arm to move an object to be detected to a posture detection position and a surface detection position. When the object to be detected is in the posture detection position, the controlling and computing device receives a posture detection image to perform posture detection on the object to be detected. When the object to be detected is in the surface detection position, the controlling and computing device controls the robotic arm to adjust the posture of the object to be detected according to the posture detection result and receives images from a remote imaging device and photographing devices to perform surface defect detection on the object to be detected.

  • Patent number: 10286550
    Abstract: A robot teaching system and control method thereof are disclosed. In robot teaching system, a haptic device generates pieces of teaching data to a robot, so that the robot moves and rotates according to the pieces of teaching data, and a force sensor captures first feedback data corresponding to the motion and rotation of the robot and outputs a feedback signal, which corresponds to the first feedback data, to the haptic device. Thus, the user, who controls the haptic device, can understand the situation of the robot and react to the situation immediately, so as to avoid the risk for lack of user's instant reaction to the situation of the robot in the conventional robot teaching system.
