Abstract
A robot system includes a robot. The robot includes a holder to hold a first workpiece from among workpieces stored in a stocker. A sensor performs shape recognition of the workpieces stored in the stocker and detects a holding state of the first workpiece held by the robot. A controller controls the sensor to perform the shape recognition of the workpieces stored in the stocker, controls the robot to hold the first workpiece based on the shape recognition and transfer the first workpiece to a particular position in a sensor area of the sensor, controls the sensor to detect the holding state of the first workpiece held by the robot, and controls the robot to place the first workpiece at a predetermined position or in a predetermined posture based on the detected holding state.
Claims9
A robot system comprising:
- a robot including a holder configured to hold a first workpiece from among a plurality of workpieces stored in a stocker;
- a sensor configured to perform shape recognition of the plurality of workpieces stored in the stocker and configured to detect a holding state of the first workpiece held by the robot;
- and
- a controller configured to control the sensor to perform the shape recognition of the plurality of workpieces stored in the stocker, configured to control the robot to hold the first workpiece based on the shape recognition performed by the sensor and to transfer the first workpiece to a particular position in a sensor area of the sensor, configured to control the sensor to detect the holding state of the first workpiece held by the robot, and configured to control the robot to place the first workpiece in at least one of a predetermined position and a predetermined posture based on the holding state detected by the sensor.
A method for producing a to-be-processed material, the method comprising obtaining a to-be-processed material using a workpiece obtained using a robot system, the robot system comprising:
- a robot including a holder configured to hold a first workpiece from among a plurality of workpieces stored in a stocker;
- a sensor configured to perform shape recognition of the plurality of workpieces stored in the stocker and configured to detect a holding state of the first workpiece held by the robot;
- and
- a controller configured to control the sensor to perform the shape recognition of the plurality of workpieces stored in the stocker, configured to control the robot to hold the first workpiece based on the shape recognition performed by the sensor and to transfer the first workpiece to a particular position in a sensor area of the sensor, configured to control the sensor to detect the holding state of the first workpiece held by the robot, and configured to control the robot to place the first workpiece at a predetermined position or in a predetermined posture based on the holding state detected by the sensor.
