Abstract: A robot control device configured to control operation of a robot configured to transfer a substrate while holding the substrate. The robot includes a robotic arm having at least one joint axis, and an end effector provided to a tip end of the robotic arm and configured to hold the substrate. A position and a posture of the end effector are defined by values of N variables. A value of at least one of the N variables that define a holding position and a holding posture of the end effector for holding the substrate placed on the installation position by the end effector is independent from a value of the corresponding variable among the N variables that define a withdrawn position and a withdrawn posture of the end effector after retreating the end effector in the holding position and the holding posture from the installation position.

Abstract: A substrate conveying robot has a robot arm including an end effector having a substrate holding unit holding a substrate, arm drive unit for driving the robot arm, an elevating drive unit for elevatingly driving the end effector, a robot control unit controlling the arm drive unit, the elevating drive unit, and the substrate holding unit, and a substrate detection unit having a substrate detection unit which detects a vertical position of the substrate and elevates coordinately with an elevating operation of the end effector. By this configuration, a vertical position of a substrate to be conveyed is detected with high accuracy so that a robot operation can be controlled based on the detection result.

Abstract: A robot control device configured to control operation of a robot configured to transfer a substrate while holding the substrate is provided. The substrate becomes in a first state where an end effector holds the substrate and the substrate is not placed at an installation position, when the end effector positions at a first teaching point above the installation position. The substrate becomes in a second state where the end effector does not hold the substrate and the substrate is placed at the installation position, when the end effector positions at a second teaching point below the installation position. The first and second states can be switched by causing the robot to perform a first operation to move the end effector from either one of the first teaching point and the second teaching point to the other one of the first teaching point and the second teaching point.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for isolating or identifying target clone cells from a cell population, the method including steps of: preparing a cell population into which a barcode sequence and at least one reporter protein abnormal expression cassette linked to the barcode sequence are introduced; introducing a barcode sequence recognition module targeting an arbitrary barcode sequence and a nucleic acid mutation repair enzyme into cells; repairing a nucleic acid mutation causing abnormal expression occurring in the at least one reporter protein abnormal expression cassette by expression of a complex of the barcode sequence recognition module and the nucleic acid mutation repair enzyme in a cell containing the target barcode sequence, to induce normal expression of the reporter protein; and isolating or identifying target clone cells in which the reporter protein is expressed.

Abstract: A substrate transfer robot includes a robot body including a first hand having a first substrate placing part on which a substrate is placed and a first substrate holding mechanism configured to hold and release the substrate, and a robot controller. The robot controller controls a speed of the first hand such that an absolute value of a first maximum speed or an absolute value of a first maximum acceleration during a first period after the first hand starts retreating until the substrate is held by the first substrate holding mechanism is lower than an absolute value of a second maximum speed or an absolute value of a second acceleration during a second period after the substrate is held until the first hand ends retreating.
