Abstract
Provided are a robot system and a control method with which it is possible to highly precisely acquire the thickness of an object. This robot system comprises an imaging unit that is mounted on a robot and that captures a two-dimensional image of an object, an image processing unit that acquires distance information pertaining to the object on the basis of the two-dimensional image, a distance image generation unit that generates a distance image on the basis of the distance information, and a thickness calculation unit that calculates the thickness of the object on the basis of the distance image, the imaging unit capturing the two-dimensional image of the object irrespective of the positional relationship between the side surface of the object and the imaging unit.
Claims4
A robot system comprising:
- an image capturing unit that captures a two-dimensional image of a workpiece;
- an image processing unit that acquires distance information of the workpiece based on the two-dimensional image;
- a distance image generation unit that generates a distance image based on the distance information;
- and
- a thickness calculation unit that calculates a thickness of the workpiece based on the distance image,
- wherein the image capturing unit being configured to capture the two-dimensional image of the workpiece regardless of a positional relation between a side surface of the workpiece and the image capturing unit.
A control method of a robot system, comprising:
- a step of capturing a two-dimensional image of a workpiece;
- a step of acquiring distance information of the workpiece based on the two-dimensional image;
- a step of generating a distance image based on the distance information;
- and
- a step of calculating a thickness of the workpiece based on the distance image,
- wherein an image capturing unit configured to capture the two-dimensional image of the workpiece captures the two-dimensional image of the workpiece regardless of a positional relation between a side surface of the workpiece and the image capturing unit.
