  • Patent number: 11590652
    Abstract: A user can easily create a robot program. A measuring device includes a position determination processing part that determines a holding position, held by a robot hand, of a workpiece placed in a work space and determines coordinates of a fixed via point having any single attribute based on a result of measurement made by a measuring part and holding information, the fixed via point being one of an approach position of the robot hand for holding the holding position, the holding position, and a retreat position after holding, and an output part that outputs, to a robot controller, the coordinates of the fixed via point determined by the position determination processing part and attribute information showing the attribute of the fixed via point.

  • Publication number: 20220016784
    Abstract: The present invention allows a user to make trigger settings without editing a robot program and to automatically issue a trigger at optimum timing among the settings. A processor determines, based on timing at which a hand HND moves out of a capture range of a sensor on a path, timing of issuing a trigger that causes the sensor to capture the next image to dynamically change capture timing of the sensor for each cycle of a picking motion.
