Patent number: 11943242Abstract: Examples of the disclosure enable detecting an anomalous state in a machine. The method is performed by an anomaly detection server. The method includes receiving training analysis vectors associated with a monitored machine during a training period. The method also includes applying the training analysis vectors to a machine learning model to create a trained machine learning model configured to describe normal states in the monitored machine as indicated by training analysis vectors. The method further includes receiving monitoring analysis vectors associated with the monitored machine during a monitoring period. The method also includes applying the monitoring analysis vectors to the trained machine learning model to identify at least one discrepancy indicating an anomalous state in the monitored machine. The method further includes transmitting an alert indicating that an anomaly is detected in the monitored machine.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Honda Motor Co. Ltd.Inventors: Derrick Ian Cobb, Richard Wolfgang Geary, Douglas J Spaur

Patent number: 11077559Abstract: A support robot and control system for timely and efficiently providing at least one of a tool, a part, a component, an electrical supply, and an air supply within an assembly line operation. The support robot and system may include a detection unit for detecting user and a motion planning unit for controlling the motion of the robot based on data received from the detection unit. The support robot may further include an input unit for receiving input from a user. The system may estimate work progress of a user via a work progress estimation unit. The work progress estimation unit may determine work production based on at least an output from the detection unit and information obtained from a work progress database. The system may further include a robot location adjustment unit. The robot location adjustment unit may adjust the location of the robot based on information received from the motion planning unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2018Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Derrick Ian Cobb, Eric C.

Patent number: 11007638Abstract: A support robot and control system having a support arm providing at least one degree of motion. The support robot includes a support arm supporting mechanism connected to the support arm and providing at least two degrees of motion. The support arm optionally includes a biomimetic actuator connectable to an end effector, a telescoping section operatively connected to the biomimetic actuator, and a tensile force transmitting member connected to an actuator. The actuator is capable of moving the biomimetic actuator towards and away from the actuator via the tensile force transmitting member. The support arm further includes an inflatable outer cover at least partially encasing the telescoping section and the tensile force transmitting member.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2018Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Derrick Ian Cobb, Richard Wolfgang Geary, Michael Gienger, Stefan Fuchs

Patent number: 10625333Abstract: A fastening apparatus for setting a fastener penetrating into a workpiece having a first and a second sheet of material to be joined is provided. The fastening apparatus includes a frame supporting a punch and an upsetting die assembly. The upsetting die assembly includes a housing defining an axial bore, and a die member and a rod located in the bore. The die member and rod are axially displaceable within the bore. A stop member is pivotally connected to the frame and is in engagement with the rod. A fastener insertion force generated by the punch displaces the die member and rod within the bore, and the stop member is configured to dampen the axial displacement and reduce the fastener insertion force over a predetermined fastener insertion distance of the fastener into the workpiece.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2018Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Paul Carlos Edwards, II, Richard Wolfgang Geary, Matthew J. Raiche, Kevin Scott Schnipke, Gregory A. Seckel

Patent number: 10137580Abstract: A robotic system includes a robotic arm assembly and a guard assembly. The robotic arm assembly includes a robotic arm and an end effector that is coupled to the robotic arm and selectively couples to a moveable object. The guard assembly is selectively moveable between an open configuration and a closed configuration, and includes a plurality of guard petals that selectively move between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration. Each guard petal includes a flexible support structure and a fluid bladder coupled to the flexible support structure. The fluid bladder is selectively filled with a fluid to change the fluid bladder between a relaxed configuration and an expanded configuration. The fluid bladder is configured to wrap the flexible support structure around at least a portion of the moveable object when the guard petal is in the extended configuration and the fluid bladder is in the expanded configuration.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2017Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Derrick Ian Cobb, Richard Wolfgang Geary, David Bryan Betz, Eric C.
