Abstract
An trajectory information generating unit for generating trajectory information defining a trajectory for which a picking hand picks a work at a first position and arranges the work at a second position, an execution control unit for operating a picking apparatus based on trajectory information generated by the trajectory information generating unit, and an execution time estimating unit for estimating a period of time from when the picking apparatus receives an instruction for starting an operation on a work to a time when the operation of the picking apparatus on the work is ended are included. The trajectory information generating unit may adjust an amount of calculation based on an estimation result of the execution time estimating unit.
Claims21
1-13. (canceled)
A control device comprising:
- at least one processor configured, when a plurality of articles in a supply region are represented in image data generated by at least one image capturing apparatus, to:
- perform an object recognition operation for identifying, based on the image data, a first article of the plurality of articles;
- perform a trajectory planning operation for generating a set of trajectory information that defines a trajectory for the first article from the supply region to a delivery region;
- and
- perform an execution operation for outputting a set of control information that is generated based on the set of trajectory information, wherein the set of control information is for causing a robot to move the first article from the supply region to the delivery region.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor of a control device, causes the at least one processor to:
- perform an object recognition operation when:
- i) the control device is configured to communicate with at least one image capturing apparatus and with a robot, and ii) a plurality of articles in a supply region are represented in image data generated by the at least one image capturing apparatus, wherein the object recognition operation is for identifying, based on the image data, a first article of the plurality of articles;
- perform a trajectory planning operation for generating a set of trajectory information that defines a trajectory for the first article from the supply region to a delivery region;
- and
- perform an execution operation for outputting a set of control information that is generated based on the set of trajectory information, wherein the set of control information is for causing the robot to move the first article from the supply region to the delivery region.
A method performed by a computing system, comprising:
- performing, by at least one processor of the computing system, an object recognition operation for identifying, based on image data, a first article of a plurality of articles;
- performing a trajectory planning operation for generating a set of trajectory information that defines a trajectory for the first article from a supply region to a delivery region;
- and performing an execution operation for outputting a set of control information that is generated based on the set of trajectory information, wherein the set of control information is for causing the robot to move the first article from the supply region to the delivery region.
