Kazuhiro Izui has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9393691
    Abstract: An industrial robot system may enable a reduction in an installation/adjustment period, and an increase in a no-error continuous operation period. The system includes an action planning section for temporary halts, an error-inducing-task restraining section, a section for teaching task, an operation mastering section, a hand library, an optimum-task-operation generating section, a specific task library, an error-recovery-task teaching section, an error recovery library, a finger-eye-camera measurement section including an omnidirectional mirror, a three-dimensional recognition section, a controller, a manipulator, and a hand with a plurality of fingers.

  • Patent number: 9081920
    Abstract: The present invention enables structural optimization having a high degree of freedom, such as the allowance of a change in topology in a material domain ?, and provides clear expression of the shape of optimum structures. The present invention defines a level set function ?; updates the level set function ?, under a predetermined constraint condition, so as to bring a performance of a structure, such as a rigidity, close to a target value; moves the boundary ?? between the material domain ? and a void domain; allows a change in topology in the material domain ?, which is associated with the update of the level set function ?, to form a new void domain in the material domain ?; and moves the boundary ?? between the new void domain and the material domain ?.

  • Publication number: 20110270587
    Abstract: The present invention enables a shape of an optimum structure to be clearly represented, and structural optimization having a high degree of freedom such as the allowance of a change in topology in a material domain ? to be performed. The present invention sets a level set function ?; under a predetermined constraint condition, updates the level set function ? so as to bring a performance of a structure, such as a rigidity, close to a target value; moves a boundary ?? between the material domain ? and a void domain; allows a change in topology in the material domain ?, which is associated with the update of the level set function ?, to form a new void domain in the material domain ?; and moves a boundary ?? between the new void domain and the material domain ?.
