  • Patent number: 9427666
    Abstract: Technologies are generally described for a general mood adding scheme in a cloud-based game system. In some examples, a method performed under control of a computing device may include receiving from a raw database at least one set of facial expression data, each of the at least one set of facial expression data being accompanied by time information and location information, clustering a geographic area to form at least one cluster based at least in part on the at least one set of facial expression data, and storing the at least one cluster in a map database corresponding to the area.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 3, 2016
    Date of Patent: August 30, 2016
    Assignee: EMPIRE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT LLC
    Inventors: Takahiro Miyashita, Satoru Satake, Masahiro Shiomi

  • Patent number: 9156170
    Abstract: In a robot hand, holding units have bases, and a plurality of curved rod-shaped members that are installed at the bases and are rotatable around rotation axes. The plurality of curved rod-shaped members rotate from a virtual plane including a plurality of the rotation axes by a reaction force from the object to be pinched that is caused by the holding units pinching the object to be pinched, and portions of the curved rod-shaped members hold the object to be pinched.

  • Publication number: 20150115636
    Abstract: A gripping apparatus includes a plurality of holding sections. Each of the plurality of holding sections includes a flexible film-like member. The plurality of holding sections are capable of gripping a plurality of different kinds of objects to be gripped having different softness indexes in a range of 3 mm3/gf to 10 mm3/gf.

  • Patent number: 8899647
    Abstract: A robot hand moved by a robot to grip an object to be gripped includes a plurality of bar-like placing sections on which the object to be gripped is placed, a plurality of plate-like pressing sections paired with the plurality of placing sections and configured to press side surfaces of the object to be gripped, a space adjusting section configured to move the plurality of pressing sections to bring the pressing sections into contact with a plurality of contact sections, a first strain gauge configured to detect a distance between the placing section and the pressing section and an angle of the pressing section with respect to the placing section, and a second strain gauge configured to detect a distance between the placing section and the pressing section and an angle of the pressing section with respect to the placing section.
