A modular harvesting bench is provided. The bench comprises a frame for contacting the ground surface, a platform supported by the frame at an elevation above the ground surface, the platform defining a work plane area for receiving harvesting equipment. A portion of the frame and of the platform define parts of a first bench section movable relative to a second bench section between a retracted position and an extended position to extend or retract a footprint of the bench and/or extend or reduce the work plane area.

Disclosed is an up-down worktable including a base frame, a lifting member installed on the base frame to be vertically slidable, a work support having one side surface provided with a mounting surface to allow an object to be transferred to be mounted thereon and having an end pivotably installed on the lifting member, a lift support portion installed on the base frame to move the lifting member upward while elastically supporting the lifting member to allow the lifting member to move downward according to a load of the object mounted on the mounting surface, and an angle restriction portion configured to restrict a pivoting angle of the work support so that the mounting surface is set in a direction of intersecting with a sliding direction of the lifting member to mount the object on the mounting surface or the work support stands straight with respect to the base frame.

A hinge mechanism with a collapsible leg is disclosed. The hinge mechanism may include a support member with a first end and a second end. The first end may be configured to be rotationally coupled to a first portion of a frame via a first rotational coupling. The second end may be rotationally coupled to the collapsible leg via a second rotational coupling. The collapsible leg may be configured to move between an extended position and a collapsed position. The collapsible leg may include a mating surface at a first leg end. The mating surface may be configured to be removably mateable to a corresponding mating surface of a second portion of the frame when in the extended position.

A workbench system comprising: a workbench; a multi-axis robot; a visible light projector; and a controller; wherein the workbench and the robot are located in a common workspace; the controller is configured to: determine a movement operation for the robot; and, using the determined movement operation, control the visible light projector to project a visible light indication onto at least one of a surface of the workbench and a surface of the workspace; the visible light indication indicates a limited area of the workbench and/or workspace, the limited area corresponding to a limited volume of space; and the movement operation is such that, if the robot performs the movement operation, the robot moves entirely within only the limited volume of space.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for using a general fixture for robotic motion planning. One of the methods includes receiving a request to generate a motion plan for manipulating a component that is part of a robotic assembly process in an operating environment, the operating environment including a fixture having a base and a mesh surface, the mesh surface having openings that are configured to constrain the orientation of the component that is part of the robotic assembly process; in response, generating a motion plan that when executed causes a robot to place an instance of the component on the mesh surface.

The present invention relates to an adjustment profile (11) comprising an elongated means, substantially square of its cross section which means is provided with evenly spaced fastening openings (13) on at least one of its surfaces for receiving fastening means. In the cross section of this adjustment profile, one of its four sides is open for the whole length dimension of the adjustment profile comprising two opposite edge profiles (12) shaped substantially symmetrical to form a linear guide. Between the two opposite edge profiles (12) forming this linear guide is here arranged a moving carriage (16), whereby the motion of the carriage is supported by at least two bearing units (18) supported on opposite edge profiles.

A work table is disclosed. The work table may include legs and a frame supported by the legs in a vertical direction. The frame may include an outer side rail with a first slot and a second slot. The first slot may include a first T-slot and the second slot may include a second T-slot. The first T-slot and the second T-slot may be configured to receive protrusions (e.g., T-Bolts) of one or more attachments. The first slot and the second slot may be configured to receive the one or more attachments from an outward facing direction that is perpendicular to the vertical direction.
