Abstract: A loading robot hand includes a first member, a second member, and a drive unit. The second member can hold an article between the first member and the second member. The drive unit moves the second member in a direction toward and away from the first member. The drive unit includes a moving base, a fluid cylinder, a pressure regulator, and a controller. The moving base is slidably movable by driving a drive source. The fluid cylinder is attached to the moving base. The pressure regulator can change operating pressure of the fluid cylinder. The controller controls the pressure regulator. A direction of expansion and contraction of the fluid cylinder is parallel to a direction of slide movement of the moving base. The second member is attached to a portion of the fluid cylinder that is movable relative to the moving base.

Abstract: This robot system includes: an automated guided vehicle that includes a support surface and automatically travels; a robot cell including a seat surface to be mounted on the support surface, a ground contact portion protruding downward from the seat surface so as to contact with a ground, an articulated arm, and a robot controller that controls operation of the articulated arm; and a switching mechanism that performs switching between a transferable state in which the seat surface is mounted on the support surface and the ground contact portion is separated from the ground, and a placed state in which the seat surface is separated from the support surface and the ground contact portion contacts with the ground.

Abstract: A robot hand is a robot hand to transfer an article, which includes a holder to move the article in a first direction while holding the article, a driving belt having a transferring surface on which the article is placed and driven to move the transferring surface in the first direction, and a first driver to drive the driving belt. The holder moves in the first direction to place the held article onto the transferring surface.

Abstract: A power supply system includes a movable power supply device including a first power storage device, a robot including a second power storage device, and a controller, and the controller performs control for conveying the first power storage device to the robot by using the power supply device, on the basis of information about an amount of power stored in the second power storage device.

Abstract: A power supply system includes: a robot including a power storage device; a movable power supply device; and a controller. The power supply device includes a first electrical connector which is electrically connectable to a second electrical connector of the robot and which is electrically connected to a power supply source via a wire, and the controller performs control for electrically connecting the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector and supplying power to the robot, on the basis of information about an amount of power stored in the power storage device.

Abstract: A box unpacking device includes a robot, and a cutting device. A robot hand is attached to a wrist of the robot. The robot hand has a holding device configured to hold a packed box. The cutting device has a cutting blade of which the point is oriented downward or obliquely downward. The robot can move the box held by the holding device in a vertical plane, and change an angle of the box in the vertical plane.

Abstract: An end effector is to be attached to a tip-end part of a robotic arm and unpacks a cardboard box of which one or more flaps provided to one end of a side wall are fixed mutually or to the side wall to constitute one of end walls. The end effector includes a body part to be attached to the tip-end part of the robotic arm, a box holding part provided to the body part and configured to hold the cardboard box by holding a part of the cardboard box other than the one end wall, and a punching part provided to the body part and configured to form a through-hole in a wall of the cardboard box other than the one end wall.

Abstract: A traveling robot includes: a traveling body including a truck and a drive unit, the truck including front and rear wheels and a floor frame, the drive unit being configured to rotate the wheels; a support mechanism configured to raise or lower a holding tool configured to support a mounting plate; and a picking robot configured to load a cargo onto the mounting plate or unload the cargo from the mounting plate. The drive unit is mounted on the floor frame, and the floor frame includes a projecting portion projecting forward from a portion on which the drive unit is mounted. The support mechanism is attached to a front end portion of the projecting portion. The picking robot is provided at the projecting portion, is arranged between the support mechanism and the drive unit in a front-rear direction, and is arranged on or behind an imaginary vertical line passing through a front axle.
