  • Publication number: 20240261975
    Abstract: A robot system 100 includes a robot 1 that processes a processing portion B of an object W, a storage 32 that holds an image of the object W and three-dimensional information on the object W, a selector 9 that selects the processing portion B from the image, and a controller 3 that controls the robot 1. The controller 3 derives the processing portion B in the three-dimensional information based on a portion selected in the image by the selector 9 and the three-dimensional information, and moves the robot 1 based on the three-dimensional information on the processing portion B to cause the robot 1 to process the processing portion B.

    Abstract: A robot system (1) includes the robot (10), a motion sensor (11), a surrounding environment sensor (12, 13), an operation apparatus (21), a learning control section (41), and a relay apparatus (30). The robot (10) performs work based on an operation command. The operation apparatus (21) detects and outputs an operator-operating force applied by the operator. The learning control section (41) outputs a calculation operating force. The relay apparatus (30) outputs the operation command based on the operator-operating force and the calculation operating force. The learning control section (41) estimates and outputs the calculation operating force by using a model constructed by performing the machine learning of the operator-operating force, the surrounding environment data, the operation data, and the operation command based on the operation data and the surrounding environment data outputted by the sensors (11 to 13), and the operation command outputted by the relay apparatus (30).

  • Publication number: 20230249341
    Abstract: The robot teaching method includes a pre-registration step, robot operation step, and teaching step. The pre-registration step is for specifying a relative self-position of a measuring device with respect to surrounding environment by measuring the surrounding environment using the measuring device, and registering an environment teaching point that is a teaching point of the robot specified using the relative self-position. The robot operation step for automatically operating the robot so that the relative self-position of the robot with respect to the surrounding environment become equal to the environment teaching point in a state where the measuring device is attached to the robot. The teaching step for registering a detection value of a position and a posture of the robot measured by an internal sensor as teaching information in a state where the relative self-position of the robot with respect to the surrounding environment become equal to the environment teaching point.

  • Publication number: 20230045162
    Abstract: A training data screening device includes a data evaluation model, a data evaluator, a memory, and a training data screener. The data evaluation model is constructed by machine learning on at least a part of the collected data, or by machine learning on data different from the collected data. The data evaluator evaluates the input collected data using the data evaluation model. The memory stores the evaluated data, which is the collected data evaluated by the data evaluator. The training data screener screens the training data tier constructing the learning model from the evaluated data stored by the memory by an instruction of an operator to whom an evaluation result of the data evaluator is presented, or automatically screens the training data based on the evaluation result.
