An intelligent production line for turning tool bit cavities and an application method are provided, which solve the problem that a production line in the prior art has low working efficiency. The intelligent production line has the beneficial effects of a compact arrangement structure, higher safety and improved working efficiency. The intelligent production line for turning tool bit cavities includes a robot. Material tables and at least one machining center are arranged around the robot. A transfer station used for transferring materials is arranged between the machining center and the robot. A protective fence is arranged between a position above the material tables and the robot, and between the transfer station and the robot. The robot is provided with a mechanical arm including a base plate. The base plate is provided with at least one clamping jaw and fixed with a laser detecting unit for detecting the materials.

The disclosure relates to a handling device that handles a motor vehicle body component, preferably for a coating operation of the motor vehicle body component and/or the motor vehicle body. The device includes an automatic movement machine and a gripping arm, that has a mounting means mounted to the automatic movement machine and at least one gripping tool for catching the motor vehicle body component, wherein the gripping arm includes, between the mounting means and the at least one gripping tool, a first deflection section, wherein the automatic movement machine is configured to bring the gripping arm into a working position. The handling device is characterized in particular in that the gripping arm comprises, between the first deflection section and the at least one gripping tool, a second deflection section. The disclosure also relates to a corresponding method and to a coating installation with such a handling device.

An autonomous grouting robotic apparatus comprising a sponge belt, a front sponge guide assembly, a grout extruder with a nozzle, cameras, and a LIDAR is configured to map a room and identify grouting lines each corresponding to a gap between tiles and to drive the robot and control extrusion of the grout from the nozzle and to clean excess grout off tiles. The front sponge guide assembly and grout extruder are mounted to the robotic apparatus using a pivoting mounting arrangement to control a tilt angle to allow extruding into grouting gaps located along the edges of the room.

A tool interface for coupling a tool to a robot. The tool interface has an abutment face for abutting a corresponding abutment face of the tool, and a coupling device for mechanically coupling the tool to the tool interface. A discharge device is provided for producing a discharge air flow in the region of the abutment face. The discharge device has a plurality of nozzle openings for discharging the discharge air flow, and the nozzle openings are supplied with compressed air by a common compressed air connection of the tool interface.

A mushroom picking system includes a picking tool having a gripper for engaging a mushroom cap, and a cleaning unit for periodically cleaning the gripper.

The gripper has a wall part made of a flexible polymeric material defining a surface for engaging a mushroom cap. The cleaning unit has a blade defining a scraping edge configured to engage with the engaging surface of the gripper.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide an apparatus for capturing an object. The apparatus includes a gas pressure source operable to provide a gas pressure at a gas pressure port, and a capture body having a conduit chamber in communication with the gas pressure port and a conduit opening in communication with the conduit chamber such that the capture body conveys, through the conduit chamber, to the conduit opening, at least some of the gas pressure provided by the gas pressure source at the gas pressure port. The capture body is operable to capture the object using at least some of the gas pressure conveyed through the conduit chamber to the conduit opening. The apparatus also includes a pressure sensor between the gas pressure port and the conduit opening, which is operable to measure gas pressure in the conduit chamber between the gas pressure port and the conduit opening.
