METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADJUSTING ROBOT MOTION PATH
Embodiments of present disclosure relate to adjusting a robot motion path. In the method for adjusting a robot motion path, a first processing procedure may be performed on a first workpiece to obtain a first product. Then, first process data may be obtained, where the first process data describes an attribute of the first processing procedure for obtaining the first product from the first workpiece. Next, based on the obtained first process data, a robot motion path of a second processing procedure that is to be performed on the first product by a robot may be adjusted. Further, embodiments of present disclosure provide apparatuses, systems, and computer readable media for adjusting a robot motion path.

DISPLAY METHOD
A display method according to an aspect of the present disclosure is a display method for displaying, on a display section, a simulation of a robot that executes work on an object with an end effector provided in an arm. The display method includes receiving information concerning a type of the robot, receiving information concerning the end effector, receiving information concerning a position or a posture of a control point for controlling arms, calculating rigidity at a working point of the end effector based on the received information concerning the type of the robot, the received information concerning the end effector, and the received information concerning the position or the posture of the control point, and displaying a result of the calculation of the rigidity on the display section as a figure.
ROBOT SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR PERFORMING SCRAPING PROCESS
A robot system includes a robot configured to move a scraper configured to scrape the surface, and a control device configured to control the robot. The control device is configured to execute the scraping process by moving the scraper in a direction along the surface while pressing the scraper against the surface by the robot, and during the execution of the scraping process, repeatedly increase and decrease a depth of scraping the surface by controlling a position of the robot so as to repeatedly increase and decrease a pressing force by which the robot presses the scraper against the surface.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING A WORKSURFACE
A robotic system is presented that includes a surface inspection system that receives sampling information for a number of areas within a region of a worksurface. The system also includes a robotic arm, coupled to a surface engaging tool, the robotic repair arm being configured to cause the surface processing tool to engage the region of the worksurface. The system also includes a process mapping system configured to, based on the sampling information: approximate a surface topography in the region of the worksurface, generate a surface processing plan for the region based on the approximated surface topography that includes a trajectory. The surface processing plan includes one of: a force profile along the trajectory, a velocity profile for the surface engaging tool along the trajectory, a rotational speed profile, for the surface engaging tool, along the trajectory, or a trajectory modification that accounts for the presence of a surface feature identified in the approximated surface topography. The process mapping system is also configured to generate a control signal for the robotic arm that includes the surface processing plan.
Polishing head management system and method
The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a polishing head management system and method. The polishing head management system includes: a storage device, a pick-and-place device and a data acquisition device, where the storage device is used to store polishing heads; the pick-and-place device is used to pick a polishing head or place a polishing head into the storage device; the data acquisition device is connected with the storage device and the pick-and-place device, and is used to record at least one management cycle of the polishing head.
Processing machine, processing system, and method for manufacturing processed object
In a processing machine 1, an X-axis control unit 33X, in each control cycle Tc, controls the position of an X-axis table 9X in the X-direction by feedback. The Z-axis control unit 33Z, in each control cycle Tc, acquires an up-close detection value of the position of the Z-axis table 9Z in the Z-direction, computes a second deviation based on a difference between the acquired detection value and a target position, and controls a Z-axis drive source 23z so that the second deviation is reduced. The Z-axis control unit 33Z, in each control cycle Tc, acquires an up-close detection value of a first error comprised of a deviation of the X-axis table 9 in the Z-direction, and increases or reduces the second deviation based on the detection value of the first error so that at least a portion of an error in a relative position of a workpiece 103 and a tool 101 in the Z-direction originating from the first error is cancelled by movement of the Z-axis table 9Z in the Z-direction.
Force control parameter setup support method and force control parameter setup support system
A force control parameter setup support method of supporting a setup of a force control parameter to be used for force control when controlling a robot arm a tip of which is attached with a polishing tool using the force control to perform a polishing task on an object including a first step of obtaining task information related to the polishing task, a second step of selectively reading out information of the force control parameter corresponding to the task information obtained in the first step from a storage section in which a plurality of pieces of information of the force control parameter is stored, and a third step of displaying the information of the force control parameter read out in the second step on a display section.
