A method, apparatus and system are for displaying measurement information. An embodiment of the method includes: obtaining a display instruction for displaying measurement information of at least one second transmitter; and displaying, after obtaining the display instruction, the measurement information of the at least one second transmitter on a display screen of the a first transmitter. The first transmitter and the at least one second transmitter perform data communication with a distributed I/O device according to a preconfigured data transmission path. Further, the measurement information of the at least one second transmitter is obtained by means of the distributed I/O device according to the preconfigured data transmission path. The embodiment of the method enables an operator to conveniently view the measurement information of the second transmitter on the first transmitter nearby, without viewing the information on a remote device manager or the second transmitter.

A robot instructing apparatus includes a teaching pendant having a display and an inclination device. The inclination device outputs an inclination of the teaching pendant based on the inclination of the teaching pendant about at least one horizontal axis. The robot instructing apparatus also includes at least one processor that generates movement instructions to change a posture of the robot based on the inclination of the teaching pendant output by the inclination device during a teaching operation in which the movement instructions are generated.

Exemplified methods and systems provide a graphical HMI having an interface that mitigate or prevent touch errors and/or inadvertent touches through the use of multiple touch inputs, at a graphical user interface, of a touch-screen input device, to trigger an associated user interface command. In some embodiments, the multiple touch inputs comprise an input at two locations, one in relative association, with a displayed interface command, to trigger the command.

An external input device is employed, the external input device being configured to operate a robot system including an imaging apparatus capable of changing an imaging point of view and a robot apparatus, the external input device includes a display area, a robot apparatus operation unit configured to operate the robot apparatus, an imaging operation unit configured to operate the imaging apparatus, and an image display unit configured to display an image captured by the imaging apparatus, wherein the robot apparatus operation unit, the imaging operation unit, and the image display unit are displayed on the display area, and wherein the image display unit is disposed between the robot apparatus operation unit and the imaging operation unit.

An HVAC controller operable in an occupied mode and an unoccupied mode and includes a touch-responsive display. The controller displays an informational region having non-interactive user interface elements, a control region having interactive user-interface elements and an override region having an occupied status display and an occupancy override control having an override state and a non-override state. The visual properties of the variable opacity region is manipulated to guide the user during use of the HVAC controller.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein relating to control of one or more components of an electric power system. A human machine interface (HMI) may be utilized to control and monitor a remote intelligent electronic device (IED) via a local intelligent electronic device (IED) connected to the HMI.

A method and apparatus for selecting an initial point for industrial robot commissioning, the initial point being located above a touchscreen for industrial robot commissioning. The method including: calculating a nominal posture of a work object relative to the industrial robot by a nominal posture calculating module; and selecting an initial point according to the nominal posture by an initial point selecting module. The method and apparatus can automatically select the initial point so as to further increase automation of the commissioning process and reduce workloads.

A device and method to move user interacting devices responsive to user input using artificial intelligence. The device includes a movable mount for supporting the user interacting device. User input is converted into service requests using artificial intelligence services. The device converts the service requests into movement commands, which it may then execute. The user interacting device may receive and process user input into service requests or the devices itself may be configured with artificial intelligence services. The device then converts into movement commands by imparting motion on the movable base through use of one or more motors or other movement generating devices.

A method for controlling a robot device using a portable terminal including a touchscreen is provided. The method includes displaying an enable button in a first area of the touchscreen, displaying an emergency stop button in a second area of the touchscreen, displaying a plurality of robot control buttons in a third area of the touchscreen, in response to simultaneously receiving from a user an input on the first area and an input on the third area, transmitting a robot control signal to a control device configured to control the robot device, and in response to receiving an input from the user on the second area, transmitting an emergency signal to the control device.

A remote control system includes: an imaging unit that shoots an environment in which a device to be operated including an end effector is located; a recognition unit that recognizes objects that can be grasped by the end effector based on a shot image of the environment shot by the imaging unit; an operation terminal that displays the shot image and receive handwritten input information input to the displayed shot image; and an estimation unit that, based on the objects that can be grasped and the handwritten input information input to the shot image, estimates an object to be grasped which has been requested to be grasped by the end effector from among the objects that can be grasped and estimates a way of performing a grasping motion by the end effector, the grasping motion having been requested to be performed with regard to the object to be grasped.
