Abstract
A robot system includes a container, a disposed-state detector, and a robot arm. The container is configured to accommodate a plurality of to-be-held objects and includes a reticulated portion. The disposed-state detector is configured to detect disposed states of the plurality of respective to-be-held objects disposed in the container. The robot arm includes a holder configured to hold a to-be-held object among the plurality of to-be-held objects based on the disposed states of the plurality of respective to-be-held objects detected by the disposed-state detector.
Claims20
A robot system comprising:
- a container configured to accommodate a plurality of to-be-held objects and comprising a reticulated portion;
- a disposed-state detector configured to detect disposed states of the plurality of respective to-be-held objects disposed in the container;
- and
- a robot arm comprising a holder configured to hold a to-be-held object among the plurality of to-be-held objects based on the disposed states of the plurality of respective to-be-held objects detected by the disposed-state detector.
A method for producing a to-be-processed material, the method comprising:
- detecting, using a disposed-state detector, disposed states of a plurality of to-be-processed materials disposed in a container comprising a reticulated portion;
- holding a to-be-processed material among the plurality of to-be-processed materials using a holder of a robot arm based on the disposed states of the plurality of respective to-be-processed materials detected by the disposed-state detector, and transferring the to-be-processed material to a next process;
- and
- subjecting the to-be-processed material to predetermined processing in the next process.
