  • Publication number: 20260034677
    Abstract: A handling apparatus includes a controller and a picking tool for a target object. The controller calculates surface information about a target object by using a first learning model for estimating the surface information from a feature map. The feature map represents a feature of an input image including the target object. The controller identifies surfaces in the input image from the surface information, and transforms the input image into projection images, each being seen from above a point on each of the surfaces in a normal vector direction. The controller calculates, for each projection image, a grasp posture for gripping the target object by using a second learning model. The controller transforms the grasp posture into a grasp posture in a first coordinate system. The controller calculates a final posture of the picking tool by projecting the grasp posture in the first coordinate system onto the input image.

  • Patent number: 11656587
    Abstract: A control apparatus according to an embodiment includes one or more hardware processors. The processors acquire, for each of elements, pieces of input data representing first physical field of a corresponding one of the elements at a first time point. The elements are obtained by discretization of an object to be controlled. The processors calculate, for each element, second physical field of a corresponding element at a second time point after the first time point. The second physical field is calculated based on a value of an energy functional representing energy of the corresponding element. The value of the energy functional is obtained by inputting the pieces of input data into an estimation model. The processors control the object such that control quantity based on the second physical field becomes a target value.
