A robot fixing system includes a base member having a front surface in which an insertion hole is formed; a power transmission member configured to supply a rotational driving force to a movable part, which is supported on the base member in a rotatable manner about a first axis of rotation, by rotating about a second axis of rotation while opposing the front surface, a through hole being formed in the power transmission member to extend parallel to the second axis of rotation in a penetrating manner at a position separated from the second axis of rotation by a distance equal to a distance from the second axis of rotation to the insertion hole; and a fixing pin configured to be simultaneously inserted into the through hole and the insertion hole.

A support system for an autonomous robot may include a diagnostic component coupled to the autonomous robot; one or more on-board sensors coupled to the autonomous robot, the one or more on-board sensors configured to communicate with the diagnostic component; a servicing alignment engine configured to store information, the servicing alignment engine configured to communicate with the diagnostic component; and an auxiliary robot configured to communicate with the diagnostic component. The diagnostic component is configured to continuously monitor a status of the autonomous robot, determine if the status is within a predetermined operating value, and send a notification to the auxiliary robot based on the status. The auxiliary robot is configured to determine a remedial action based on a notification that the status is outside of the predetermined operating value and initiate the remedial action on the autonomous robot when the status is not within the predetermined operating value.

A robot apparatus according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a robot body and a transfer leg for transferring the robot body. The robot body includes a robot arm mechanism and a sensor device for detecting an external force applied to the robot arm mechanism. The sensor device includes a sensor bottom plate to be installed on a robot installation table, a sensor top plate attached to the bottom surface of a base of the robot arm mechanism, and a sensor body for detecting the displacement between the sensor bottom plate and the sensor top plate. The transfer leg is configured to be able to fix the base or the sensor top plate to a transfer table in such a manner as to prevent the sensor bottom plate from coming into contact with the transfer table.

Object picking optimization is disclosed, including: receiving an image of a target object; inputting the image in a machine learning model that is configured to output a pick probability heat map corresponding to the target object; selecting a pick location on the target object based at least in part on the pick probability heat map corresponding to the target object; and causing a diverting mechanism to perform a pick operation on the target object based at least in part on the pick location.

Pick quality determination is disclosed, including: using a pressure meter to sense a pressure associated with an airflow through a gripper mechanism of a diverting mechanism over time during a pick operation on a target object; storing the sensed pressure associated with the airflow through the gripper mechanism over time as a pressure sequence associated with the pick operation on the target object; and correlating the pressure sequence with representative pressure sequences associated with corresponding pick quality types to determine whether the pick operation on the target object was successful or not.

Surgical kit inspection systems and methods are provided for inspecting surgical kits having parts of different types. The surgical kit inspection system comprises a vision unit including a first camera unit and a second camera unit to capture images of parts of a first type and a second type in each kit and to capture images of loose parts from each kit that are placed on a light surface. A robot supports the vision unit to move the first and second camera units relative to the parts in each surgical kit. One or more controllers obtain unique inspection instructions for each of the surgical kits to control inspection of each of the surgical kits and control movement of the robot and the vision unit accordingly to provide output indicating inspection results for each of the surgical kits.

A robot control device, abnormality diagnosis method, and non-transitory computer readable medium are provided. The robot control device (300) performs abnormality diagnosis of a robot body (200) including a motor (201) that rotates, from a starting angle position to a target angle position, a rotational shaft (204) for transmitting power to an arm (203) so that the arm performs a predetermined operation. The robot control device includes: a drive control unit (304) driving the motor so that the rotational shaft rotates from the starting angle position to the target angle position within a rotational speed range of the rotational shaft in which it is possible to detect a vibration component caused by an abnormality from among the vibration components generated along with the rotation of the rotational shaft; a vibration detection unit (305) detecting the vibration component; and a diagnosis unit performing abnormality diagnosis based on the detected vibration component.

An adapter for motor replacement includes fixing portions. The adapter has a shape of being placeable so as to be bridged between a housing that fixes a motor and a pulley that is fixed to the motor and transmits a rotary drive force via a belt and to avoid a space for removing the motor from the housing. The fixing portions are respectively fixed to the housing, to which the motor is fixed, and the pulley fixed to the motor.
