  • Patent number: 7925382
    Abstract: An input unit enters angular displacements by which drive shafts of a robot arm are to be turned as teaching data into a control unit. The control unit converts the input angular displacements into position-attitude data, namely, converted commands, indicating a position of the free end of the robot arm and an attitude of the robot in a rectangular coordinate system through forward conversion. The control unit corrects the position-attitude data on the basis of inherent errors in the robot to provide corrected position-attitude data. The control unit converts the corrected position-attitude data into corrected angular displacements through inverse conversion and gives the corrected angular displacements to an actuator included in the robot. The inherent errors in the robot include mechanismic errors resulting from machining errors and assembling errors, installation errors and errors in the origins of axes.

  • Patent number: 7729804
    Abstract: A controller calculates first movement times when moving each robot hand from a movement start position to a synchronous operation position in a shortest time and decides the longest first movement time as a second movement time. The controller generates, for each robot, a robot operation plan for moving each robot hand without stopping from the movement start position to the synchronous operation position in the second movement time. The robot hand of each robot moves from the movement start position to the synchronous operation position without stopping and simultaneously reach the synchronous operation positions.

  • Patent number: 7330282
    Abstract: A document delivery apparatus is provided, which is capable of performing automatic delivery processing of document information (e.g. received fax documents and scan documents) that has been created by devices, such as registering the documents in folders of a predetermined document management server, attaching the documents to predetermined email addresses, and outputting the documents to predetermined devices. The document delivery apparatus is connected via a network to a plurality of external devices and a plurality of servers. A delivery server makes delivery settings for document information received from the external devices, receives document information from the external devices, determines a delivery destination for the received document information, based on the delivery settings, and delivers the received document information to the determined delivery destination.

  • Patent number: 7129664
    Abstract: A robot hand is moved at a moving speed in direct movement from a start position to an end position. When the robot hand passes through a setting position on a movement route from the start position to the end position, a setting position passing signal is outputted. At this time, a robot controller does not lower the moving speed of the robot hand before and after arrival at the setting position. Therefore, the reduction in the moving speed of the robot hand due to existence of the setting position can be prevented and the movement time of the robot hand can be prevented from undesired prolongation. By doing this, the cycle time can be shortened and the operability of the robot can be improved.
