    摘要: A machining system includes a robotic manipulator, a master-side automated tool changer, a master-side data transmission connector, and a plurality of end effectors. Each of the end effectors includes a machine tool, a tool-side automated tool changer coupleable to the master-side automated tool changer, and a tool-side data transmission connector coupleable to the master-side data transmission connector. A controller is in communication with the master-side automated tool changer and the master-side data transmission connector. With the master-side automated tool changer coupled to the tool-side automated tool changer of the end effector: power is transferred from the master-side automated tool changer to the tool-side automated tool changer; electrical signals are transferred between the master-side data transmission connector and the tool-side data transmission connector; and the controller identifies the end effector based on one of the electrical signals transferred between the master-side data transmission connector and the tool-side data transmission connector.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a coating method including the specification of at least one coating path for moving a paint impact point along at least one coating path over the surface, the at least one coating path running through a surface region of the component to be coated which is bounded by edges. The disclosure also includes, presetting reference values of the spatial edge point positions and/or of the edge point orientations of the surface region, spatial measurement of position, orientation and/or shape of the component to be coated or of a part of the component to be coated with a measuring system, where, in the course of the spatial measurement, measured values of the edge point positions and/or of the edge point orientations of the edge points on the edges of the surface region are measured. Lastly, the disclosure includes determining the deviation between the measured values of the edge point positions and/or the edge point orientations and the reference values of the edge point positions and/or the edge point orientations, and adapting the coating path as a function of the deviation between the reference values of the edge point positions and the measured values of the edge point orientations.

    摘要: An end effector for a fruit picking robot has a distal portion comprising tools for seizing and detaching a fruit from its mother plant, a proximal portion comprising an interface for mounting the end effector to a robot arm, and a storage bay for picked fruit. The storage bay is elongate in a longitudinal direction and has a discharge port extending along the full length of the storage bay in the longitudinal direction. A fruit support member has a longitudinally extending edge which delimits the discharge port.

    摘要: A robot is provided. The robot includes at least one sensor, a driver, memory storing one or more computer programs, and one or more processors operatively coupled with the at least one sensor, the driver, and the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the robot to detect the occurrence of an event through the at least one sensor, identify an interaction corresponding to the event, identify user context, identify an interaction parameter based on history information stored in the memory, the interaction, and the user context, control the driver to perform the interaction based on the identified interaction parameter, obtain information on a user's response according to the performed interaction, and update the history information based on information on the identified interaction parameter and the response.

    摘要: Described herein are systems and methods for operating a mobile robot in an environment according to a coverage path generated using an environment map. The path includes a set of linear path segments connected by a number of turns therebetween, and the path minimizes or reduces the number of turns that the robot makes as it traverses the environment. An exemplary system includes at least one controller that partitions the environment map into regions with respective orientations based on the region's dimensional information and neighboring regions' properties, decomposes the regions into parallel ranks, and generates a coverage path using the ranks. One or more mobile robots can accomplish designated missions such as cleaning in the environment when moving along their respectively identified path.
