Disclosed herein is a robot including an output interface including at least one of a display or a speaker, and a processor configured to acquire output data of a predetermined playback time point of content output via the robot or an external device, recognize a first emotion corresponding to the acquired output data, and control the output interface to output an expression based on the recognized first emotion.

The present disclosure relates to a method for sensing the depth of an object by considering external light and a device implementing the same, and a method for sensing the depth of an object by considering external light according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises the steps of: storing, in a storage unit, first depth information of an object, which is sensed at a first time point by a depth camera unit of a depth sensing module; storing, in the storage unit, second depth information of the object, which is sensed at a second time point by the depth camera unit; comparing, by a sensing data filtering unit of the depth sensing module, the generated first and second depth information to identify a filtering target region from the second depth information; and adjusting, by a control unit of the depth sensing module, the depth value of the region filtered from the second depth information.

A robot is equipped with a processor. The processor detects external appearance or audio of a living being, and by controlling the robot, causes the robot to execute an operation in accordance with liking data indicating preferences of the robot regarding external appearance or audio and the detected external appearance or audio of the living being.

A non-destructive inspection system is presented. The non-destructive inspection system comprises a robotic end effector having an extendable actuator and a flange-mounted roller containing an ultrasonic sensor, the flange-mounted roller connected to the extendable actuator by a pivot connection, the extendable actuator configured to extend the flange-mounted roller until the flange-mounted roller contacts an inspection surface.

Disclosed is a fully automatic intelligent spraying robot. The robot includes a chassis, a driving device, a sliding device, a clamping device, a detection device and a control device; the driving device is fixedly connected to the chassis, and the driving device drives the chassis to move freely on the ground; the sliding device is fixed on the chassis; one end of the clamping device is used to fix a spray gun, and the other end of the clamping device is connected to the sliding device, and the clamping device can freely slide along the height direction of the sliding device; the detection device is fixed on the chassis, and the control device is also fixed on the chassis; and the control device is respectively in signal connection with the driving device, the sliding device, the clamping device and the detection device.

A frame body is provided parallel to and proximate with a surface of a structure and extends substantially horizontally from a first side to a second side. A connecting portion is provided to be attached to a cable to provide for vertical movement of the frame body. A robotic arm is affixed proximate to a bottom of the frame body and is able to move horizontally during penetrative imaging of the surface. Moreover, the robotic arm extends to an end proximate with the surface, and a penetrative imaging portion is attached to the robotic arm near the end proximate with the surface. The robotic arm rotates, vertically moving the penetrative imaging portion during penetrative imaging of the surface. In addition, the penetrative imaging portion can be separately rotated about three orthogonal axes of rotation (yaw, pitch, roll) to achieve various angles of approach and orientation to the surface.

An apparatus for provisioning, in particular automatically, a complete tool having a toolholder and a tool, in particular a drilling and/or milling tool. The apparatus has a spindle that can be driven in rotation by a driving device. The spindle has a holding device for holding a toolholder. A measuring device, in particular an optical measuring device, measures a complete tool, held on the spindle. A heating device in the region of the spindle heats a shrink-fit chuck of the toolholder held on the spindle. A cooling device, in particular a cooling device associated with the spindle, enables the spindle and/or the complete tool held on the spindle, to be cooled.

An ultrasound time-of-flight (TOF) sensor module includes an ultrasonic transducer device, a cover layer, an elastic member, and a signal processor electronically coupled to the ultrasonic transducer. The ultrasonic transducer device includes at least one ultrasonic transducer, which is configured as an ultrasonic transmitter and/or an ultrasonic receiver. The elastic member is interposed between the ultrasonic transducer device and the cover layer. The elastic member undergoes reversible compression in response to an external object impacting and/or contacting the cover layer. An ultrasound propagation distance between the ultrasonic transducer and the cover layer varies in accordance with the compression. The ultrasonic transmitter(s) transmit ultrasound signals. The cover layer reflects a fraction f of the ultrasound signals incident thereon. The signal processor obtains TOF data which indicate time differences between times of transmission of transmitted ultrasound signals by the ultrasonic transmitter(s) and times of receipt of reflected ultrasound signals by the ultrasonic receiver(s). The time differences vary in accordance with the ultrasound propagation distance.

An end effector, for adhesively attaching a first part to a second part, comprises a support, a first nozzle, movable relative to the support, and a second nozzle, movable relative to the support. The first nozzle comprises a first-nozzle-body outlet port and a first-nozzle separator plate. The second nozzle comprises a second-nozzle-body outlet port and a second-nozzle separator plate. The end effector additionally comprises a first ultrasonic-sensor roller that is rotatable relative to the support, translationally fixed relative to support, and located between the first nozzle and the second nozzle. The end effector also comprises a second ultrasonic-sensor roller that is rotatable relative to the support, translationally fixed relative to support, and located between the first ultrasonic-sensor roller and the second nozzle.
