Abstract: A robot system is provided and includes an autonomous mobile robot. In the system in which monitoring is performed using the autonomous mobile robot which travels along a predetermined path, an interval between the time when a user requests transmission of images and the time when the user obtains the images may be reduced. The autonomous mobile robot travels along a predetermined path at predetermined times, a camera takes photographs at predetermined locations during the travel along the predetermined path, images taken by the camera are stored, and the stored images are sent to a requesting cell phone in response to a transmission request from the cell phone.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a robot system which includes an autonomous mobile robot as well as to the autonomous mobile robot. In the system in which monitoring is performed using the autonomous mobile robot which travels along a predetermined path, the present invention can reduce the interval between the time when a user requests transmission of images or the like and the time when the user obtains the images. The autonomous mobile robot travels along a predetermined path at predetermined times, a camera takes photographs at predetermined locations during the travel along the predetermined path, images taken by the camera are stored, and the stored images are sent to a requesting cell phone or the like in response to a transmission request from the cell phone or the like.

Abstract: Disclosed is a drill for drilling thin plates and which has a pair of major cutting edges each including an inner major cutting edge diagonally extending in an inner portion of the tip so as to form a protrusive leading part, and an outer major cutting edge radially extending in the tip, a chisel edge formed at the junction of the inner major cutting edges, and continuous flanks formed behind the inner major edges and the outer major cutting edges, respectively. The diameter of the leading part formed by the inner major cutting edges is in the range of 40 to 50% of the drill diameter, the point angle formed between the inner major cutting edges is in the range of 100.degree. to 115.degree., the outer corner angle formed between the outer major cutting edge and a plane perpendicular to the axis of the drill is in the range of 4.degree. to 10.degree., and no margin is formed in the circumference of the tip.

Abstract: A twist drill including a body characterized by the outer portion of each of the heels bulging toward the main flute as compared with that of the standard twist drill, the main lips each bulging in a triangular shape in cross section toward the main flute as compared with that of the standard twist drill, and a subflute having a substantially U-shaped cross section and axially formed in the inner portion adjacent to the axis of the twist drill of each of the heels along the main flute for a predetermined distance from the tip.
