A shear stud welding system is disclosed. The system comprises a shear stud holder, a robotic arm and a microcontroller. The shear stud holder comprises a turret and a first motor coupled to the turret and configured to rotate the turret about an axis to a predetermined angle such that a shear stud among the plurality of shear studs is at a dispensing position. The robotic arm is configured to transfer the shear stud from the shear stud holder to a workpiece. The microcontroller is configured to control the movement of the robotic arm to pick up the shear stud from the dispensing position and transfer the shear stud holder to the workpiece at a welding position and cause the first motor to rotate the turret to a predetermined angle to cause a shear stud among the plurality of shear studs assume the dispensing position.

A Device and method for removing animal carcasses from an animal housing facility having a manipulator for collecting dead animals when the manipulator is located in a predetermined relative position with respect to the dead animal, an actuator for moving the manipulator inside the animal housing facility, a camera to identify and locate the dead animal, and a processor to move the actuator to a rough position of a dead animal, use the camera to steers the actuator to the precise position of the dead animal, controls the manipulator to collect the dead animal, and move the actuator to a predetermined disposal location and deposits the dead animals.

A cleaning apparatus includes at least one detection device for detecting soiling on a vehicle to be cleaned and at least one cleaning device for cleaning the vehicle. A control device controls the at least one cleaning device in dependence on the detected soiling. The at least one cleaning device includes at least one multi-axis robot for positioning a cleaning element relative to the vehicle. The cleaning apparatus enables simple, fast and reliable automatic cleaning of the vehicle.

The present disclosure is directed to a non-intrusive, integrated system comprising an umpire bot for automatically monitoring, umpiring, scoring, analytics, learning and coaching for players while eliminating need for human umpires and scorers. The automated umpire bot with intelligent telescopic function monitors, cognitively recognizes and captures movements from all equipment's, analyses them, moves up and down and even avoid ball collision travelling towards it. The non-intrusive real time system captures all the game moments right from players initiation, toss of coin, commencement of game, monitoring field positions, keeping scores, umpiring decisions, overs, valid/in-valid deliveries, validating balls per over, wickets, catches, boundaries, sixes and displaying scores and statistics all throughout the game.

Disclosed are a lawn mower robot and a control method for same. A lawn mower robot and a control method for same according to an embodiment of the present invention can sense height information about the height between a lawn and the lower side of the lawn mower robot. The sensed height information is used as supporting data for calculating whether the lawn mower robot has deviated from a preset travel path, as well as the deviation direction. Accordingly, even when a separate sensing means is not provided, whether the lawn mower robot has deviated from the preset travel path is calculated using the height information about the height from the ground, and thus the lawn mower can be returned to the preset travel path.

The present technology relates to a control device, a control method, and a program that make it possible for objects that are capable of moving autonomously to move in corporation with each other. The control device according to one aspect of the present technology moves, in response to an action made by a user on a predetermined object among multiple objects that are capable of moving autonomously, an object corresponding with the predetermined object. The present technology can be applied to a control device that controls mobile robots.
