Publication number: 20240071128Abstract: A detection device includes a plurality of optical sensors arranged in a detection area, a light source configured to emit light that is emitted to an object to be detected and is detected by the optical sensors, and a processor configured to perform processing based on outputs from the optical sensors. The processor is configured to determine, based on the outputs of the respective optical sensors obtained at a cycle of a predetermined period, an optical sensor an output of which is to be employed from among the optical sensors.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Hirofumi KATO, Makoto UCHIDA, Takanori TSUNASHIMA, Takashi NAKAMURA, Akio TAKIMOTO, Takao SOMEYA, Tomoyuki YOKOTA

Patent number: 7103448Abstract: A robot system capable of performing automatic updating of data inherent to a robot mechanism section or a mechanical unit thereof when changing the robot mechanism section or the mechanical unit. After changing the robot mechanism section or the mechanical unit, data of identifiers are read by a robot control section from nonvolatile memories associated with encoders in the robot mechanism section or the mechanical unit automatically upon turning-on of a power supply on or a manual operation. If it is determined that a kind of the robot is changed, the data indicating the kind of robot is rewritten in the robot control section. If it is required to change an algorithm for forward/inverse transformation for calculation of a robot locus, the algorithm is changed. If a kind of the robot is not changed, it is determined whether individuality of the whole robot mechanism section or the mechanical unit is changed or not.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2003Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: Fanuc LTDInventors: Tetsuaki Kato, Yukinobu Tsuchida, Makoto Someya
