A controller of the robot apparatus performs approaching control for making a second workpiece approach a first workpiece and position adjustment control for adjusting a position of the second workpiece with respect to a position of the first workpiece. The approaching control includes control for calculating a movement direction and a movement amount of a position of the robot based on an image captured by a first camera, and making the second workpiece approach the first workpiece. The position adjustment control includes control for calculating a movement direction and a movement amount of a position of the robot based on an image captured by the first camera and an image captured by the second camera, and precisely adjusting a position of the first workpiece with respect to the second workpiece.

The disclosure describes devices, systems and methods relating to a transfer chamber for an electronic device processing system. For example, a robot can include a first mover configured to be driven by a platform of a linear motor, a support structure disposed on the first mover, a first robot arm attached to the first end of the support structure at a shoulder axis, and a first arm drive assembly. The first drive assembly can include a first pulley attached to a first end of the support structure and to the first robot arm at the shoulder axis, a second pulley attached to a second end of the support structure, a first band connecting the first pulley to the second pulley, and a second mover configured to be driven by the platform of the linear motor, where the second mover is connected to the first band, and where motion of the second mover relative to the first mover causes the first band to a) rotate the first pulley and the second pulley and b) rotate the first robot arm around the shoulder axis. Also disclosed are systems and methods incorporating the robot.

A collaborative device includes: a robotic arm including at least one motor; a tool secured to a free end of the robotic arm; a computer unit connected to the robotic arm to transmit instructions for controlling the robotic arm; and a joint having a flexible connection. The device integrates at least one sensor parameterised to detect forces exerted on the flexible connection. The computer unit is configured to: receive data from the sensor; translate the data into torques applied at the motor(s) of the robotic arm; generate instructions for attenuating the applied torques; and control the motor(s) of the robotic arm with the attenuation instructions.

A hand exoskeleton includes at least one mechanical finger and a mechanical palm; and the mechanical finger includes a finger section, a rod assembly and a motor, the finger section includes a first finger section and a second finger section, and the rod assembly includes a first rod assembly and a second rod assembly. The motor capable of controlling the hand exoskeleton is arranged in the hand exoskeleton, and motion constraint on the finger section is realized by constraining a rod through the motor in the movement process of the hand exoskeleton, so that motion limitation on the hand exoskeleton is realized.

An information processing device (10) according to the present disclosure includes an operation controller (175) that controls a moving operation of an autonomous mobile body (10) that travels while maintaining an inverted state, and controls a posture operation of the autonomous mobile body that temporally changes from a reference posture in the inverted state. Furthermore, the information processing device (10) according to the present disclosure further includes an acquisition unit (174) that acquires motion data corresponding to a posture operation of the autonomous mobile body (10). The operation controller (175) controls a posture operation of the autonomous mobile body (10) based on the motion data acquired by the acquisition unit (174).

A controlling method for an artificial intelligence moving robot according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: checking nodes within a predetermined reference distance from a node corresponding to a current position; determining whether there is a correlation between the nodes within the reference distance and the node corresponding to the current position; determining whether the nodes within the reference distance are nodes of a previously learned map when there is no correlation; and registering the node corresponding to the current position on the map when the nodes within the reference distance are determined as nodes of the previously learned map, thereby being able to generate a map in which the environment of a traveling section and environmental changes are appropriately reflected.

The present invention relates to a robot. A robot according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a body having a set volume, and traveling members provided in the left area and right area of the body and rotatably connected to the body through rotating shafts, wherein the rotating shafts are positioned to be vertically inclined at the incline of the rotating shafts so that same gradually face outward from the top to the bottom thereof.

An injection molding machine includes a machine base; a stationary platen fixed to the base for holding a stationary mold section; a moving platen slidably supported by the base for holding a moving mold section; a rotary apparatus slidably supported by the base axially intermediate the stationary and moving platens for supporting a plurality of center mold sections and moving the center mold sections among axial positions directed toward the stationary and moving mold sections and lateral positions directed toward the operator and non-operator side of the machine; and a part-handling apparatus mounted to the stationary platen. The part-handling apparatus includes an end-of-arm tooling disposed laterally outboard of the rotary apparatus. The end-of-arm tooling is movable laterally between an engaged position for interacting with molded articles in one of the center mold sections in the lateral positions, and a disengaged position spaced laterally outwardly from the engaged position.

A method for picking objects is specified, in which at least one object is removed from a source loading aid and placed into a target loading aid using a robot. After the operation of removing the object, a first sensor system of the robot is used to check whether at least one object is held by the robot. A number and/or a type of the at least one removed object is ascertained using the second sensor system. The operation of placing the at least one object into the target loading aid is aborted or modified if no object is held by the robot or the number and/or the type of the at least one removed object does not contribute to completing the picking order, which defines a desired number and/or desired type of objects in the target loading aid. Furthermore, a device and a computer program product for performing the presented method is specified.

A robot comprises: a display unit; a user input unit for receiving a request for providing a first service from a first user; a communication unit for connection to a first mobile terminal of a second user; and a control unit for controlling the display unit such that the same displays a screen including first data for providing the first service, in response to the request for providing the first service, receiving a request for providing a second service from the first mobile terminal, and transmitting, to the first mobile terminal, second data for providing the second service, in response to the received request for providing the service second service.
