Abstract
A controller includes: a deformation information obtaining unit configured to obtain information on deformation of a suction portion that suctions an object with negative pressure, and that is deformed by the negative pressure; and an operation control unit configured to control movement of the suction portion in accordance with deformation of the suction portion.
Claims20
A controller comprising:
- a deformation information obtaining unit configured to obtain information on deformation of a suction portion that suctions an object with negative pressure, and that is deformed by the negative pressure;
- and
- an operation control unit configured to control movement of the suction portion in accordance with deformation of the suction portion, wherein
- the operation control unit comprises a contact point specifying unit configured to:
- specify a contact point where the suction portion contacts the object based on deformation of the suction portion;
- and
- specify said contact point where the object contacts a surface on which the object is to be placed, based on deformation of the suction portion, in a state where the suction portion is suctioning the object.
The controller according to 3,
- wherein the operation control unit is configured to change the speed of the suction portion in accordance with deformation of the suction portion.
The controller according to 7,
- wherein the operation control unit is configured to change the speed of the suction portion in accordance with deformation of the suction portion.
The controller according to 6,
- wherein the operation control unit is configured to change the speed of the suction portion in accordance with deformation of the suction portion.
The controller according to 10,
- wherein the operation control unit is configured to change the speed of the suction portion in accordance with deformation of the suction portion.
The controller according to 13,
- wherein the operation control unit is configured to change the speed of the suction portion in accordance with deformation of the suction portion.
The controller according to 2,
- wherein the operation control unit is configured to change the speed of the suction portion in accordance with deformation of the suction portion.
A method of controlling a suction apparatus including a suction portion that suctions an object with negative pressure, and that is deformed by the negative pressure, the control method comprising:
- obtaining information on deformation of the suction portion;
- and
- controlling movement of the suction portion in accordance with deformation of the suction portion, wherein
- controlling the movement of the suction portion comprises:
- specifying a contact point where the suction portion contacts the object based on deformation of the suction portion;
- and
- specifying said contact point where the object contacts a surface on which the object is to be placed, based on deformation of the suction portion, in a state where the suction portion is suctioning the object.
