A labware transport apparatus includes a frame, defining a labware space, and a robotic multi-link arm operably connected to the frame via a drive section. The arm has a predetermined link configuration determining a minimum footprint of the arm and a corresponding maximum reach of an end effector of the robotic multi-link arm within a range of motion of the end effector. The range of motion, at least in part of the labware space, of the end effector is delimited by a blockage of a substantially vertical axis of motion, of the drive section of the robotic multi-link arm, extending through the range of motion, wherein the blockage is sized and shaped based on and so as to maximize the range of motion of the end effector of the robotic multi-link arm having the predetermined link configuration that is common determining the minimum foot print and the corresponding maximum reach.

A control method for a robot system includes setting a robot arm in a first attitude, performing work in a first region of an object while moving a tool relative to the object by a moving stage with the first attitude maintained, setting the robot arm in a second attitude, imaging the object using a camera and correcting a position of the tool by driving of the moving stage based on an imaging result with the second attitude maintained, and performing the work in a second region of the object while moving the tool relative to the object by the moving stage with the second attitude maintained.

A calibration system includes a docking stand fixed within a three-dimensional coordinate system and an end effector supported by the docking stand. The end effector includes a frame received by the docking stand and an adjustable member movable along the frame. The adjustable member includes a clamp and a reference surface. The calibration system includes a computational system including at least one processor and at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions. The calibration system includes a measurement instrument in electronic communication with the computational system. The measurement instrument is movable and is arranged to interact with the reference surface and transmit a signal to the processor. The processor is programmed to analyze a location of the measurement instrument within the three-dimensional coordinate system and the interaction between the measurement instrument and the reference surface to determine a location of the adjustable member within the three-dimensional coordinate system.

A multi-axis imaging system comprising an imaging gantry with an imaging axis extending through a bore of the imaging gantry, a support column that supports the imaging gantry on one side of the gantry in a cantilevered manner, and a base that supports the imaging gantry and the support column. The imaging system including a first drive mechanism that translates the gantry in a vertical direction relative to the support column and the base, a second drive mechanism that rotates the gantry with respect to the support column between a first orientation where the imaging axis of the imaging gantry extends in a vertical direction parallel to the support column and a second orientation where the imaging axis of the gantry extends in a horizontal direction parallel with the base, and a third drive mechanism that translates the support column and the gantry in a horizontal direction along the base.

A mobile robotic device includes a mobile base and a mast fixed relative to the mobile base. The mast includes a carved-out portion. The mobile robotic device further includes a three-dimensional (3D) lidar sensor mounted in the carved-out portion of the mast and fixed relative to the mast such that a vertical field of view of the 3D lidar sensor is angled downward toward an are in front of the mobile robotic device.

The present disclosure relates to a robot master control system. The robot master control system includes: a master controller, configured to control at least one dual-robot control system, where each of the least one dual-robot control system includes a first robot, a second robot, and a sub-controller controlling the first robot and the second robot, and the sub-controller is controlled by the master controller.
