Abstract
A robot system includes robot, an image capture device, a plurality of illumination devices, and a control device. The robot is configured to perform a predetermined work on a to-be-processed material. The image capture device is configured to capture an image of the to-be-processed material and has a dynamic range. The plurality of illumination devices are configured to illuminate the to-be-processed material. The control device is configured to control at least one illumination device among the plurality of illumination devices to keep an amount of light received by the image capture device within the dynamic range of the image capture device.
Claims20
A robot system comprising:
- a robot configured to perform a predetermined work on a to-be-processed material;
- an image capture device configured to capture an image of the to-be-processed material;
- a plurality of illumination devices configured to illuminate the to-be-processed material;
- and
- a control device configured to control at least one illumination device among the plurality of illumination devices to keep an amount of light received by the image capture device within dynamic range of the image capture device.
A method for producing a to-be-processed material using a robot system, the robot system comprising:
- a robot configured to perform a predetermined work on the to-be-processed material;
- an image capture device configured to capture an image of the to-be-processed material and comprising a dynamic range;
- a plurality of illumination devices configured to illuminate the to-be-processed material;
- and
- a control device configured to control at least one illumination device among the plurality of illumination devices to keep an amount of light received by the image capture device within the dynamic range of the image capture device, the method comprising:
- transferring the to-be-processed material to an operation area of the robot;
- controlling the robot to perform a predetermined operation on the to-be-processed material;
- and
- taking out the to-be-processed material done with the predetermined operation by the robot from the operation area of the robot.
