  • Publication number: 20190126473
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus supplies information to a robot arm that includes a holding mechanism for holding an article by suctioning the article and a moving mechanism for moving the holding mechanism. The apparatus comprises a communication interface and a controller. The controller calculates a suction point at which the holding mechanism attempts to suction the article. The suction point is calculated using an image captured by a camera. When the controller cannot calculate the suction point using the image, the controller acquires a selected region from an operation terminal operated by an operator, then recalculates the suction point on the basis of the selected region, and attempts suctioning at suction point calculated using the selected region.
