Abstract: An imaging apparatus including: an imaging unit that images an object and generates imaging data; an image processor that generates image data from the imaging data, and generates an imaging check-purpose image from the image data; and a displaying unit that displays the imaging check-purpose image. The image processor detects a blur amount of the image data, and calculates information relating to a distance to the object using the blur amount. The image processor determines a focus state of the image data, and divides the image data into a first region including a focused region and a second region which is a region other than the first region. The image processor generates the imaging check-purpose image by performing, on the image data, enhancement processing of enhancing a visual difference between the image data of the first region and the image data of the second region using the distance-relating information.

Abstract: A target object setting unit sets a position of a target object in a work object. A feature point recognizer detects feature points of a work object from a captured image obtained by an image capturing apparatus, the image including the work object and a holdable object. A first position calculator calculates a position of the target object in a coordinate system of the image capturing apparatus based on the feature points. A second position calculator calculates a position of the holdable object in the coordinate system of the image capturing apparatus based on the captured image. A control signal generator converts the positions of the target object and the holdable object in the coordinate system of the image capturing apparatus, into positions in a coordinate system of the robot arm apparatus, and outputs a first control signal to the robot arm apparatus based on the converted positions of the target object and the holdable object, for moving the holdable object to the position of the target object.

Abstract: Provided is a robot hand including a movable unit, a hand that changes in shape in accordance with movement of the movable unit, and an elastic body that changes a gripping force of the hand. When the amount of movement of the movable unit is less than a predetermined value, at least the hand changes in shape, and when the amount of movement of the movable unit is more than or equal to the predetermined value, the elastic body changes in elastic force while at least a part of the hand stops changing in shape.

Abstract: An end effector control system that controls a plurality of end effectors connectable to a robot arm, the end effector control system including: an image acquisition unit that acquires an image of an end effector connected to the robot arm among the plurality of end effectors; an identification information acquisition unit that acquires identification information that identifies the end effector; a control unit that controls the end effector; and a memory having control information including a target position of each of the plurality of end effectors. The control unit acquires the identification information from the identification information acquisition unit, determines a target position of the end effector in accordance with the identification information and the control information, and controls the end effector to be located at the target position based on the image acquired by the image acquisition unit.
