  • Publication number: 20180161979
    Abstract: A robot system, a robot controller and a robot control method, by which a coordinated control of a plurality of robots can be taught while appropriately considering a positional deviation of each robot into consideration. A gripping misalignment of a first workpiece in a leading robot is detected, and then a first amount of correction for correcting the misalignment is calculated. Further, a gripping misalignment of a second workpiece in a following robot is detected, and then a second amount of correction for correcting the misalignment is calculated. In the coordinated control, a taught position/orientation of the leading robot is corrected based on the first amount of correction, and a taught position/orientation of the following robot is corrected based on both the first mount of correction and the second amount of correction.

  • Publication number: 20180120844
    Abstract: Autonomous driving assistance systems, methods, and programs determine if an execution restricted section is located ahead in a vehicle travel direction during autonomous driving assistance. If so, the systems, methods, and programs obtain required preliminary operation time that is based on a type of the execution restricted section. The systems, methods, and programs determine based on a vehicle speed and the required preliminary operation time, if time required to reach a start point of the execution restricted section is equal to or less than the required preliminary operation time. If so, the systems, methods, and programs determine if a vehicle state satisfies an executable condition under which autonomous driving assistance can be continued in the execution restricted section. If not, the systems, methods, and programs control the vehicle or prompt a user to shift the state of the vehicle to a state that satisfies the executable condition.

  • Patent number: 9767397
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a color separation condition determination device, method and storage medium. A pixel of interest is extracted from multiple pixels, and the influence of visual effect applied to the pixel of interest is estimated on the basis of the positional relationship between the color of the pixel of interest and each color of at least one surrounding pixel. Also, the total usage of color materials in the pixel of interest is estimated. The color separation condition in the pixel of interest is determined on the basis of the respectively estimated influence of visual effect and total usage of color materials.
