Systems, methods and apparatus for guided tools

The present disclosure is directed to calibrating position detection for a tool. The tool can use a sensor to detect a first value of a parameter. The tool can use a motor to extend the working member of the tool towards a working surface. The tool can include a base. The tool can detect, with the working member in contact with the working service, a second value of the parameter. The tool can determine a z-axis position of the working member relative to the working surface.

HAIR PLANTING APPARATUS

A hair planting apparatus includes a mounting portion for mounting a base material, and including a work opening for planting, a hair planting unit for binding hair for planting to the material in the work opening, a transport mechanism for positioning the hair planting unit relative to each mesh hole of the material mounted on the mounting portion, an imaging unit for capturing images of a plurality of mesh holes of the material mounted on the mounting portion, a tilt detection unit for obtaining, from the image captured by the imaging unit, an alignment direction of the mesh holes of the material, and a correction mechanism for correcting the orientation of the material on the mounting portion according to a tilt angle of the alignment direction of the mesh holes of the material with respect to a predetermined direction.

TOOL ORIENTATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
20200282501 · 2020-09-10 ·

Systems and methods for tool orientation and/or position determining system are described herein. In one example, a plurality of tool sensors can be coupled to a tool. The tool sensors can provide data to a control module or system controller. The orientation and/or position of the tool can accordingly be determined from the data. If the orientation and/or position of the tool matches a desired orientation, the tool and/or control module can provide an indication that the tool is in the desired orientation.

Method for orienting an effector carrying an assembly tool relative to a surface
20180311823 · 2018-11-01 ·

A method and a device for orienting an effector relative to a surface by means of a device comprising an articulated arm, at least one tool which is designed to carry out an assembly step, at least three sensors and a controller. The method comprises the steps of determining by the controller the position of the sensors on the effector and rotating the articulated arm according to at least one dimension, so as to orient the tool carried by the effector according to an angle which is predetermined relative to the normal to the surface.
