  • Publication number: 20190156474
    Abstract: An appearance inspection device creates a combination of a first image which is a normal product image and a second image which is a product image as a comparison object, on the basis of a reference data set and a learning data set, and a machine learning device learns classification of a product corresponding to the second image as normal or not normal for the combination. The machine learning device observes the combination of the first image and the second image as a state variable representing a current state of an environment, acquires a label given to the second image as label data, and performs learning by associating the state variable with the label data.

  • Patent number: 10259295
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a winding device that includes a screen, a shaft portion to which one end of the screen is fastened, a rotary shaft member that fits to an end portion of the shaft portion so that the rotary shaft member is rotated around a rotation axis along an axial direction of the shaft portion, and a biasing portion that biases the rotary shaft member in a rotation direction for winding the screen. A relative rotation restriction structure and a movement restriction structure are formed on a fitting portion between the shaft portion and the rotary shaft member. The relative rotation restriction structure restricts a relative rotation of the shaft portion with respect to the rotary shaft member. The movement restriction structure restricts a movement of the shaft portion in the axial direction with respect to the rotary shaft member.

  • Publication number: 20190096395
    Abstract: A dialog management unit (31) selects a response template corresponding to a dialog state with a user and outputs a term symbol included in the response template to a comprehension level estimating unit (30). The comprehension level estimating unit (30) outputs the user's comprehension level of the input term symbol to the dialog management unit (31). A response generating unit (32) generates a response sentence on the basis of the response template selected by the dialog management unit (31), adds an explanatory sentence to the response sentence depending on the user's comprehension level of the term input from the dialog management unit (31), and outputs the response sentence.

  • Patent number: 9969090
    Abstract: A robot system which is inexpensive and can easily measure a position of a target point. The system stores feature quantities of an image of a target mark included in an image acquired as reference data when the target mark is placed at a known first target mark position at the robot coordinate system and stores the first target mark position with respect to an arm tip as the position of the tool center point. The system compares the feature quantities obtained from the image acquired when the target mark is arranged at a second target mark position and the feature quantities of the reference data to make the arm tip move and calculates the second target mark position at the robot coordinate system based on a second robot position corresponding to the position of the arm tip after movement and the position of the tool center point.
