  • Publication number: 20240139941
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a handling system includes: a holding unit configured to hold an object; a holding state sensor configured to detect a holding state; a detection unit configured to detect the object and a holding posture; and a control device configured to control an operation of the holding unit. The control device performs: generating a carrying operation plan for allowing the holding unit to carry the object; calculating a safety factor indicating stability of a state in which the holding unit holds the object on the basis of the holding state, the holding posture, and the carrying operation plan; determining whether the carrying operation plan is to be changed on the basis of the safety factor; and changing the carrying operation plan on the basis of the safety factor when it is determined that the carrying operation plan is to be changed.

  • Publication number: 20230126805
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a picking system having a holder, a controller, and a sensor is provided. The holder holds the object. The controller controls a motion of the holder. The sensor acquires information of the object. A failure detector of the controller detects a failure in a generation of the holding operation plan or a failure in a holding operation on the object by the holder. A determiner of the controller performs a first retry determination of deciding an operation for a retry in a case in which the failure detector detects the failure in the generation of the holding operation plan, and performing a second retry determination of deciding an operation for a retry in a case in which the failure detector detects the failure in a pickup of the object by the holder, the second retry determination being different from the first retry determination.

  • Publication number: 20090210709
    Abstract: A transmitting apparatus transmits, to a receiving apparatus, a content that contains at least, in the stated order, a first portion that is encrypted with a shared key shared between the transmitting apparatus and the receiving apparatus, a second portion that is not encrypted, and a third portion that is encrypted with the shared key. In this situation, in the case where the encrypted third portion has become a transmission target after the second portion has been transmitted, and also, there is a possibility that the shared key stored in the receiving apparatus may be invalidated when the encrypted third portion is received, the transmitting apparatus sequentially transmits a fourth portion and the encrypted third portion to the receiving apparatus, the fourth portion containing at least element data that belongs to the last group in the second portion.

  • Publication number: 20070177851
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, there is disclosed a network apparatus making an information exchange with other apparatus on a network. A communication unit makes a communication with the other apparatus via the network. A data storage stores data. A recording bit rate measuring unit measures as a recording bit rate a decreasing amount per unit time of a residual capacity of the data storage. A recording bit rate monitor monitors the recording bit rate as a state variable, determines whether or not the state variable changes based on a predetermined reference, and outputs an event issue request if it is determined that the state variable changes. An event processor sends an event notification showing a state change from the communication unit to the other apparatus based on the event issue request from the recording bit rate monitor.
