  • Patent number: 11897138
    Abstract: An apparatus capable of smoothly injecting contents in an object into another object, an injection method, and an injection program. The apparatus includes a robotic arm device configured to grip a first container, and circuitry configured to recognize a flowrate of contents while injecting an amount of the contents from the first container into a second container, and control a tilt of the first container using the robotic arm device to inject the contents into the second container according to the recognized flowrate of the contents.

  • Publication number: 20230347509
    Abstract: A system and method generate an overhead camera-based encompassing box that encompasses an object to be gripped included in an image captured by an overhead camera mounted on a robot and a hand camera-based encompassing box that encompasses the object to be gripped included in an image captured by a hand camera mounted on the robot. Moreover, a relative position of a target gripping position of the object to be gripped with respect to the overhead camera-based encompassing box in the image captured by the overhead camera is calculated, the target gripping position with respect to the hand camera-based encompassing box in the image captured by the hand camera is calculated on the basis of the calculated relative position, and the calculated position is set as a corrected target gripping position of the object to be gripped included in the image captured by the hand camera.

  • Patent number: 11420335
    Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus to estimate a position of a distal end of a movable unit with a reduced processing load, the information processing including a position computer that computes, on the basis of first positional information obtained from reading of a projected marker by a first visual sensor and second positional information including positional information obtained from reading of the marker by a second visual sensor that moves relative to the first visual sensor, a position of a movable unit in which the second visual sensor is disposed. This makes it possible to estimate the position of the distal end of the movable unit with a reduced processing load.

  • Publication number: 20220063092
    Abstract: A control device provided with an interpolated attitude deriving section for deriving an interpolated attitude at a via-point of a machine element that moves in a trajectory reaching an end point from a starting point via the via-point, an optimum attitude deriving section for deriving an optimum attitude at the via-point of the machine element, and an attitude deriving section that derives an attitude that the machine element is controlled to have at the via-point on the basis of the interpolated attitude and the optimum attitude.

  • Publication number: 20210402598
    Abstract: A robot device (10) acquires object information related to an object to be gripped by the robot device including a grip unit (32) that grips an object. The robot device (10) then determines, based on operation contents executed by the robot device with the object gripped and the object information, a constraint condition when the operation contents are executed.
