  • Publication number: 20240123606
    Abstract: In the present invention, a robot control device comprises: a search point calculation unit that calculates the position of a search point on the basis of at least one teaching point; and a command unit that drives a robot such that the position of the robot corresponds to the search point. The robot control device comprises a teaching point setting unit that sets the positions of the teaching points on the basis of a working position detected by a laser sensor. The robot control device sets the positions of a plurality of teaching points arranged along a work line by repeating: the calculation of the position of the search point by the search point calculation unit; the driving of the robot by the command unit; and the setting of the positions of the teaching points by the teaching point setting unit.

  • Publication number: 20230344944
    Abstract: A mobile terminal improved in operability concerning fax transmission. A CPU of the mobile terminal sets information indicative of a fax transmission destination, sets reading and transmission information concerning fax transmission and original reading, and sends a request for fax transmission, to an image forming apparatus. When a response notifying capability of fax transmission is received from the apparatus, the CPU causes a message for prompting a user to set an original, to be displayed on a display section. When the original has been set and an instruction for fax transmission from the user is received, the CPU sends an instruction for reading the original and executing fax transmission, together with the transmission destination information, and the reading and transmission information, to the apparatus. The CPU causes a result of fax transmission by the apparatus to be displayed on the display section.
