Provided is a robot including a hand and a control unit that operates the hand. The control unit rotates a first object around a predetermined position of the first object with the hand and moves the first object with respect to a second object, based on a captured image including the hand and the first object.

A controller includes a reference-sphere position obtaining unit that obtains coordinate values, on three linear axes, of a reference sphere placed on a table. The coordinate values are measured by controlling the three linear axes while a target rotation axis for which rotation axis center position is to be measured is positioned at three or more locations. The controller includes a rotation-axis commanded-angle obtaining unit that obtains commanded angles given to the target rotation axis during obtainment of a position of the reference sphere. The controller includes an approximate circle calculating unit that calculates an approximate circle passing near the coordinate values of the reference sphere on the three linear axes under a constraint of the commanded angles. The controller includes a rotation axis position storage unit that stores a center position of the approximate circle as coordinates of a center position of the target rotation axis.

The present invention relates to a process for the assisted performance of crane movements by a crane with at least two boom elements that are movable relative to one another, whereby an auxiliary control module, after activation by the user, determines at least one target position of the boom system, determines the crane movements necessary for achieving the target position and, after active user confirmation, indirectly or directly activates the specific crane actuators for the performance of the crane movements determined by means of the crane control.

An electronic device has a method capable of automatically executing angle rotation. A second body is rotatably connected to a first body of the electronic device. A hinge mechanism is disposed between the first body and the second body. The hinge mechanism includes a hinge component, a motor unit, a coupling component and an angle detecting unit. The first body and the second body are connected to the hinge component. The motor unit is electrically connected to a controller of the electronic device. The coupling component is connected between the hinge component and the motor unit. The angle detecting unit is connected to the hinge component or the coupling component to read its rotary angle. The controller drives the motor unit to rotate the hinge component via the coupling component, and the second body can be moved relative to the first body and be fixed at a predetermined position.

Provided is a robot including a hand and a control unit that operates the hand. The control unit rotates a first object around a predetermined position of the first object with the hand and moves the first object with respect to a second object, based on a captured image including the hand and the first object.

A detaching apparatus that detaches a target object, the detaching apparatus comprising: a plurality of adsorption portions configured to adsorb the target object; a selection unit configured to select a plurality of adsorption portions that are to execute an adsorption operation on the target object, from among the plurality of adsorption portions; an adsorption control unit configured to cause the plurality of adsorption portions selected by the selection unit to execute the adsorption operation; and a rotation control unit configured to execute a rotation operation of the adsorption portions which the adsorption operation was executed.

A holding device includes: a grip portion that holds a side surface of one side of a workpiece; a supporting portion that supports the grip portion and moves the workpiece; a detection unit that detects a force applied to the grip portion; and a control unit that controls an angle of the supporting portion with respect to the ground such that a force detected by the detection unit does not exceed a threshold value when the supporting portion moves the workpiece.

A method for detecting workpiece based on homogeneous multi-core architecture is illustrate. The method comprises: obtaining detecting images of detecting workpieces; identifying detecting areas of the detecting workpieces in the detecting images; dividing the preset rotation angle to obtain the rotation accuracy and initial rotation angles; based on each of the initial rotation angles, rotating the detecting areas to obtain a rotation area of each of the initial rotation angles; calculating similarity values between each of the rotation areas and a preset qualified area, and determining a largest similarity value as the target similarity value; and when the rotation accuracy is greater than or equal to a preset accuracy, identifying whether the detecting workpiece is a qualified workpiece according to the target similarity value and a preset similarity threshold.
