Publication number: 20230150138Abstract: According to one embodiment, a picking system includes a picking robot and a control device. The picking robot transfers an object from a first space to a second space by using a robot hand. The control device controls the picking robot. When a first measurement result related to a shape of the object in the first space when viewed along a first direction is acquired, the control device performs a first calculation of calculating a position candidate for placing the object in the second space based on the first measurement result. When a second measurement result related to a shape of the object when viewed along a second direction is acquired, the control device performs a second calculation of calculating a position of the robot hand when placing the object in the second space based on the second measurement result and the position candidate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2022Publication date: May 18, 2023Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBAInventors: Yoshifumi OKA, Hirofumi KAWAI, Kenichi SHIMOYAMA, Seiji TOKURA, Akihito OGAWA

Publication number: 20230046345Abstract: According to one embodiment, a robot hand grips an object. The robot hand includes first and second communicators, and a hand controller. The first communicator communicates grip data with a first device. The grip data is related to a gripping operation. The second communicator communicates a start notification and an end notification with a second device. The second communicator can communicate faster than the first communicator. The start notification is for starting the gripping operation. The end notification indicates an end of the gripping operation. The hand controller controls the gripping operation. In response to the start notification input to the second communicator, the hand controller starts the gripping operation. In response to the end of the gripping operation, the hand controller performs outputting the end notification, and outputting at least one of a result of the gripping operation or a state of the robot hand.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBAInventors: Yoshifumi OKA, Kazuma HIRAGURI
