Abstract: The present technology relates to a distance measuring device, a control method thereof, and a distance measuring system capable of arranging sample points of a pixel array so as to obtain more distance information. A distance measuring device includes: a pixel array in which pixels that receive reflected light obtained by reflecting irradiation light from an object are arranged in a matrix; a determination unit that determines some of the pixels of the pixel array as a sample point for detecting distance information; and a storage unit that stores a sample point state table that stores distance information of the sample point and a sample point movement rule table that stores a movement rule of the sample point, in which the determination unit updates position information of the sample point on the basis of the sample point state table and the sample point movement rule table.

Abstract: Provided is a rotary compressor excellent in energy saving performance and reliability that can suppress over-compression of a compressed refrigerant compressed in a compression chamber. A rotary compressor includes a discharge port provided on an end plate and partially located outside a cylinder inner wall and a discharge groove provided on the cylinder inner wall and communicating with a compression chamber and the discharge port, the compression chamber compressing a refrigerant by contracting as an annular piston revolves, in which the discharge port faces an end portion of a vane groove on the cylinder inner wall on the compression chamber side.

Abstract: In an automatic operation system including: a positioning robot having a holding tool and an inertial sensor at a tip end portion of an arm thereof; a working robot having an operation tool at a tip end portion of an arm thereof; and a robot control device, a positioning correcting method of the present invention includes: conveying and positioning the holding tool, which holds a work, by the positioning robot at a positioning reference position of the holding tool corresponding to an operation position of the work; detecting a displacement amount of the holding tool from the positioning reference position by the robot control device based on an inertial force of the inertial sensor when the working robot carries out a predetermined operation with respect to the work; and correcting based on the detected displacement amount the positioning reference position of the holding tool to a position of the holding tool before the holding tool is displaced.

Abstract: A control system for a robot including a teaching box having a hand alignment command section, and a control unit for controlling the robot. A hand-alignment movement-amount computing section computes an amount of movement of each axis of the robot in a hand alignment operation. A drive section commands operation directly to the robot. A present-position data memory section stores data indicating a present position of a hand, and a present-pose data memory section stores data indicating a present pose of the hand. The present-pose and present-position data are converted from a base coordinate system to a working coordinate system, and the hand-alignment movement-amount computing section computes a destination pose and position therefrom. The destination pose and position are then converted back to the base coordinate system and output to the drive section to move the hand of the robot.

Abstract: A control system for a robot including a teaching box provided with a hand alignment command section and a control unit for the robot. A hand-alignment movement-amount computing section computes an amount of movement along each axis of the robot in a hand alignment operation. A drive section drives the robot. A present-position data memory section stores data for a present position of a hand. A present-pose data memory section stores data for the present pose of the hand of the robot. A pose memory section stores deserved pose data of the hand which data is, required for a teaching operation. A pose-data modifying section modifies the data of the pose memory section. A pose memory command section instructs the modifying to modify the pose data.
