Abstract
Based on a second identification position as a position of an identification figure when an image of the identification figure is captured by a camera (31) at a second device position different from a first device position, when the second identification position is within a predetermined range from the second device position, the position of a hand unit (29) is adjusted, and when the second identification position is out of the predetermined range from the second device position, the position of a moving unit (35) is adjusted by moving the moving unit (35).
Claims2
A robot-mounted device including a robot performing an operation gripping a target object based on information of an identification figure arranged in a plane intersecting a horizontal plane of a machine tool,
- the robot-mounted device comprising:
- the robot having (i) a hand unit for gripping the target object, (ii) a second arm unit to which the hand unit is movably connected, (iii) a first arm unit to which the second arm unit is movably connected, and (iv) a camera arranged on the hand unit side opposite to the first arm unit;
- and
- a control unit causing the hand unit of the robot to perform the operation gripping the target object located in the machine tool when the robot-mounted device is at a predetermined position in front of a door opening and closing a machining area of the machine tool,
- wherein the control unit is configured to cause the robot to perform the operation gripping the target object located in the machine tool by (a) at the predetermined position, bringing the robot into an image capturing pose in which the camera is positioned opposite the identification figure arranged in the plane intersecting the horizontal plane of the machine tool, (b) in the image capturing pose, causing the camera to image the identification figure, and (c) adjusting a position of the hand unit of the robot based on information of the imaged identification figure.
