US 10,688,665 B2 · Robot system, and control method

Abstract

A robot system is provided in which various kinds of articles can be treated only with a small number of articles registered in advance, and an unknown article can be further treated as long as the article has a shape close to that of the article registered in advance. A robot system is disclosed which includes: a mechanism unit that manipulates an article to be manipulated; a shape measurement unit that measures a shape of an object; a basic operation storage unit that stores basic operation representing basic operation of the mechanism unit; an operation method calculation unit that deforms the stored basic operation to calculate an operation method on the basis of the shape of the object measured by the shape measurement unit; and a control unit that executes a control of the mechanism unit on the basis of the operation method calculated by the operation method calculation unit.

Dependent claims

A robot system comprising:

a mechanism unit that manipulates an article to be manipulated;
a shape measurement unit that measures a shape of an object;
a basic operation storage unit that stores basic operation representing basic operation of the mechanism unit;
an operation method calculation unit that deforms the stored basic operation to calculate an operation method on the basis of the shape of the object measured by the shape measurement unit;
and
a control unit that executes a control of the mechanism unit on the basis of the operation method calculated by the operation method calculation unit.

3 more elements

A control method for controlling a mechanism unit by an information processing device including a processing device, a storage unit, an input device, and an output device,

the storage unit stores at least one or more pairs of basic shapes showing a predetermined shape and manipulation methods for the basic shapes by a mechanism unit;
the processing device selects one basic shape from the stored basic shapes, and associates the selected basic shape with a measured shape input from the input device;
the processing device deforms the associated basic shape and the manipulation method that is paired with the associated basic shape according to the measured shape;
the processing device calculates the operation method of the mechanism unit on the basis of the deformed basic shape and the deformed manipulation method;
and
the processing device executes the operation of the mechanism unit on the basis of the operation method.
