METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPERATING A TRANSFER ROBOT IN A MANUFACTURING ENVIRONMENT
A system includes a robotic system including a robot disposable at a mobile workstation, where the robot is configured to perform an automated operation on a workpiece. The system includes one or more transfer robots configured to transfer the robotic system to or from the mobile workstation. The system includes a control system configured to command the transfer robot to perform a transfer operation of the robotic system, where the transfer operation includes at least one of disposing the robotic system at the mobile workstation or retrieving the robotic system from the mobile workstation. The control system is configured to control the mobile workstation and the robotic system based on image data from the one or more infrastructure sensors, position data from the one or more on-board position sensors, the automated operation to be performed by the robot, or a combination thereof.
Robotic restocking and safety systems for automated retail store environments
Systems, methods, and software are provided for automated item restocking using gantry robots and establishing safety barriers for retail work operation spaces in retail store environments. Robot controllers in communication with the gantry robots and barrier robots direct the autonomous movements thereof for transferring items between customer-accessible point of sale locations and customer-inaccessible storage, and for alternately restricting and enabling access to work operation spaces, respectively.
METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING CONVEYANCE DEVICE
Provided is a method for manufacturing a conveyance device capable of accurately completing the conveyance device imagined by a customer in a relatively short time. In a method for manufacturing a conveyance device, one or a plurality of operation confirmation devices that visually confirms an operation of the conveyance device is used, the method includes exhibiting a desired operation of the conveyance device in a video by the operation confirmation device and confirming a required operation of the conveyance device in a specification confirmation step, inputting data for realizing the required operation or realizing an operation similar to the required operation to the operation confirmation device, and exhibiting the operation of the conveyance device in a video based on the data that has been input in a virtual operation confirmation step, and inputting the data to an actual individual controller of the conveyance unit in a data input step.
FAILURE RATE ESTIMATION AND REINFORCEMENT LEARNING SAFETY FACTOR SYSTEMS
Various aspects of techniques, systems, and use cases include robot safety. A device in a network may include processing circuitry and memory including instructions, which when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to perform operations. The operations may include collecting telemetry data for a robot, the robot operating according to a path control plan generated using reinforcement learning with a safety factor as a reward function, and detecting that a safety event, involving a robot action, has occurred with the robot and an object. The operations may include simulating a recreation of the safety event to determine whether a simulated action matches the robot action.
AUTOMATION CONTROL BASED ON A REFERENCE ARRAY
Embodiments of this present disclosure may include industrial components in an industrial environment and a control system. The control system may receive a request to perform a control operation using the industrial components and may access a reference array associated with the industrial components. The reference array may include rows and columns, where each row may correspond to a respective industrial component of the industrial components. The control system may identify or program set points in the reference array associated with completing the control operation and may detect current motion components of the plurality of industrial components. The control system may generate control commands for the industrial components based on the current motion components, the set points, and/or the reference array. The industrial components may perform the control operation in response to receiving the control commands.
