Abstract: Provided is a method for purifying a compound capable of providing a high purity compound in high yield and at low cost. The present invention relates to the method for purifying a compound using a purification apparatus, the purification apparatus including: a crystallizing unit including a crystal forming section; and a wash column including a mechanism that forcibly transfers crystals. The crystallizing unit includes N tanks connected in series, wherein N is 2 or greater, a 1st tank is a most downstream tank, a (N)th tank is a most upstream tank, at least the 1st tank is a crystallization tank including a cooling mechanism, and a 2nd and subsequent tanks are each a crystallization tank or a ripening tank. The purification apparatus includes a line that feeds a compound-containing liquid to be purified to at least one of the N tanks.

Abstract: A visual servo system includes a robot that handles an object, an irradiation device that irradiates light onto the object, and a camera that captures an image of the object and outputs a current image. The visual servo system reads, from a storage medium, a target image that is assumed to be captured by the camera when the object is in target position and attitude, and the light irradiated from the irradiation device is striking the object. The visual servo system calculates control input to be inputted to the robot based on a difference in luminance value between the current image and the target image, and inputs the control input to the robot. The light that is irradiated by the irradiation device is light that has a luminance distribution based on a reference image in winch a luminance value changes along a predetermined direction.

Abstract: A robot includes: a hand; and a control unit that operates the hand, in which the control unit generates three-dimensional point group information for a partial image forming a captured image obtained by an imaging unit, and causes the hand to hold an object included in the partial image.

Abstract: A control apparatus includes a projection unit configured to project a first pattern onto an object; and a selection unit configured to select a single first pattern from a plurality of first patterns. After the projection unit projects each of the plurality of first patterns having different resolutions onto the object, the projection unit projects a second pattern onto the object, the second pattern having the same resolution as that of the selected single first pattern.

Abstract: A control system includes a projection section that projects predetermined patterned light on a target object, a first imaging section that captures an image of the target object on which the predetermined patterned light is projected by the projection section, a second imaging section that is disposed in a position different from a position where the first imaging section is disposed and captures an image of the target object on which the predetermined patterned light is projected by the projection section, and a calculation section that calculates a three-dimensional shape of the target object based on a first point in a first captured image captured by the first imaging section and a second point in a second captured image captured by the second imaging section.

Abstract: A robot includes a hand that grips an object and a control unit that operates the hand, the hand includes fingers that are able to grip the object at four or more contact points, and an object of which a metallic tone index is equal to or higher than 5 is gripped with the hand.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a marine forest structure by which many kinds of fishes and shellfishes can gather and inhabit and to which useful seaweeds such as of Laminariaceae and the like can adhere to propagate when the structure is submerged and disposed on the bottom of the sea. Provided is a marine forest structure 1 which is composed of a base 2 in which legs 5 are protruded from a peripheral edge of a flat plate 4 in which plural holes 6 are provided in a central part and a peripheral part thereof and two kinds of pillar bodies 3a, 3b whose lengths are different. The marine forest structure is constructed such that a plurality of pillar bodies 3a which has a predetermined height are raised from and fixed to the holes 6 of the flat plate 4 and that pillar bodies 3b which has a height lower than that of the pillar bodies 3a with the predetermined height are raised from and fixed to the plural holes 6 of the periphery of the flat plate 4.
