Embodiments relate to a device for correcting a robotic arm, including: a first robotic arm positioned in a vacuum transmission chamber; a first jig wafer comprising a first wafer body and a first jig positioned on a front surface of the first wafer body; a first distance measuring sensor positioned at a center position of a back surface of the first wafer body and configured to detect whether a center of the first jig wafer is aligned with a center of a wafer chuck; a second distance measuring sensor positioned on the front surface of the first wafer body and on an outside of the first jig and configured to detect a lifting height of the first robotic arm when the first robotic arm controls a pick-and-place operation the first jig wafer on an upper surface of the wafer chuck.

A vacuum tube assembly for removing material is disclosed, including: a vacuum generator configured to generate a vacuum airflow; one or more tubes coupled to the vacuum generator and configured to channel the vacuum airflow; and an actuation mechanism coupled to the one or more tubes, wherein the actuation mechanism is configured to actuate at least one tube from a first position relative to a material stream to a second position relative to the material stream, wherein the first position is farther from the material stream than the second position.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for concentric suction cup tools with parallel pistons. In one embodiment, an example picking assembly may include a first piston subassembly with a first air cylinder, a first sliding rail that slides relative to the first air cylinder, and a first suction cup. The example picking assembly may include a second piston subassembly comprising a second air cylinder, a second sliding rail that slides relative to the second air cylinder, and a second suction cup, where the first and second piston subassemblies may be configured to independently actuate from a retracted position to an extended position. The example picking assembly may include a first guide plate with a first aperture for the first piston subassembly and a second aperture for the second piston subassembly, a shell that forms a housing for the picking assembly, and an airflow coupler.

A manipulator including a shaft driven by a first motor, a rotatable unit, a linear slider, and a gripper is provided. The rotatable unit is coupled to the shaft, wherein the rotatable unit rotates with rotation of the shaft. The linear slider disposed on a first surface of the rotatable unit configured to slide from an initial position proximate to an outer edge of the rotatable unit to intermediate positions and to a final position proximate to a center of the rotatable unit. The gripper coupled to the linear slider to facilitate movement of the gripper along a first plane defined by the first surface of the rotatable unit.

An information processing apparatus for determining an area of a packaged object in a packaging material to suctioned by a suction device for picking up the packaged object includes an input unit configured to input an image obtained by capturing the packaged object, and a determining unit configured to, based on a state of a surface of the packaging material regarding a degree of ease of suction in each area of the surface of the packaging material identified based on the image, determine the area to be suctioned by the suction device.

Aspects described herein include an end effector capable of prehending items using impactive and astrictive forces. The end effector includes an interface system having a deformable mounting plate and a pliable body member attached to the mounting plate. The end effector further includes a linkage system between a plurality of actuators and the interface system. The linkage system connects to lateral portions of the mounting plate.

A work management device includes an operator information memory section, a work item memory section, an operator detection sections, and a work instruction section. The operator detection sections are installed at a plurality of spots of the electronic component mounting line and detect the operators near the spots. In a case in which the operator detection section detects the operator, when operator information regarding the operator is identical to operator information in the operator information memory section and the work item group of the work item memory section includes one work item or a plurality of work items which are able to be performed by the operator detected by the operator detection section, the work instruction section instructs the operator detected by the operator detection section in one work item or a plurality of work items selected from the one work item or the plurality of work items.

An automated grasping apparatus for precise and clean assembly of a large-aperture optical element includes a reconfigurable end effector, a manipulating robot arm, a computer control unit, a task management software and process database system, a code scanning recognizer, and an electrical auxiliary support system. During an assembling operation, a code of the optical element is scanned by the code scanning recognizer, wherein a suitable process for the optical element is retrieved automatically. The configuration of the end effector is adjusted according to an instruction flow that precision grasping and stable suction of the optical element are achieved by manipulating the end effector. The robot arm is moved to place the optical element at a designated station, and the robot arm carries the end effector to return to an original position after the assembly operation is completed.
