Abstract
A robot hand according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a finger unit and a guide member. The finger unit is capable of holding a flexible linear member such that the linear member is slidable in a longitudinal direction of the linear member, the linear member being a linear member whose one end is fixed. The guide member is mounted on the finger unit, and includes a guide section that guides the linear member to a predetermined position.
Claims7
A robot hand comprising:
- a finger unit that is capable of holding a flexible linear member such that the linear member is slidable in a longitudinal direction of the linear member, the linear member being a linear member whose one end is fixed;
- and
- a guide member that is mounted on the finger unit, and includes a guide section that guides the linear member to a predetermined position.
A robot apparatus comprising:
- a robot arm;
- a finger unit that is mounted on the robot arm, and is capable of holding a flexible linear member such that the linear member is slidable in a longitudinal direction of the linear member, the linear member being a linear member whose one end is fixed;
- a guide member that is mounted on the finger unit, and includes a guide section that guides the linear member to a predetermined position;
- and
- a control section that outputs a control signal to the finger unit according to a movement direction of the guide member, the control signal controlling a holding force of the finger unit with respect to the linear member.
A method of producing an electronic apparatus that includes a flexible linear member whose one end is fixed, and a plurality of hooking sections that is provided along a wiring route of the linear member to hook the linear member, the method comprising:
- holding the linear member using a finger unit of a robot hand;
- bringing a portion of the linear member into contact with a surface of the electronic apparatus, the portion of the linear member being supported by a guide member of the robot hand;
- adjusting a holding force of the finger unit to a first holding force with which the linear member is slidable in a longitudinal direction of the linear member, and moving the guide member while feeding the linear member;
- and
- adjusting the holding force of the finger unit to a second holding force that is stronger than the first holding force, and moving the guide member in a direction in which the linear member is hooked on a hooking section.
