    摘要: A robot system includes: a hand that holds an article; an arm that moves the hand; and a first contacting portion with which a first foldable portion of the article is brought into contact during a first folding process that is a process of folding the first foldable portion in a state where the article is held by the hand. The hand includes: a base that is connected to the arm; and a holder that is rotatable relative to the base and holds the article by adhesion. During the first folding process, the hand and the arm fold the first foldable portion by rotating the holder while keeping the first foldable portion in contact with the first contacting portion.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide die pick and place tools with an improved vacuum tip that can perform attachment and detachment of an integrated circuit die without deforming dies. In one embodiment, a vacuum tip for transporting an integrated circuit die is provided. The vacuum tip includes a body having a top surface and a bottom surface, a plurality of grooves formed in the top surface and into the body, wherein the grooves extend radially outward from a center point of the body. The vacuum tip also includes a channel in the body, wherein the channel extends from a bottom of the grooves through the body to the bottom surface of the body, and the channel and the body are substantially co-axial.

    摘要: A method is provided for transporting components using a gripping apparatus. The gripping apparatus includes a body defining a chamber and includes an exhaust at a first end of the body. The gripping apparatus also includes an air conveyor positioned within the chamber. The method includes attaching a gripper head to a second end of the body opposite to the first end. The gripper head defines one or more openings and a nest. The method further includes generating an air flow through an inlet of the air conveyor and out through the exhaust. The method further includes applying suction via the one or more openings in the gripper head to locate and releasably hold one of the components with the gripper head at the first location based on the generating step. The method further includes transporting the component from the first location to a second location.

    摘要: A gripper system comprises:

    a gripper shaft;
    a vacuum source;
    a first valve arranged between the vacuum source and the suction tube;
    a liquid reservoir;
    a source of pressurized gas;
    a second valve arranged between the source of pressurized gas and the suction tube or the liquid reservoir;
    a control unit for controlling the first valve and the second valve such that:
    for picking the ophthalmic lens up, suction is supplied to the suction tube;
    during transporting the ophthalmic lens, the suction tube is filled with liquid from the liquid supply tube;
    for releasing the ophthalmic lens from the gripper head, liquid is pressed through the fluid channel and through the suction opening of the gripper head.

    摘要: A method of grasping and/or placing multiple objects by a gripper of a mobile robot. The multi-grasp method includes determining one or more candidate groups of objects to grasp by the suction-based gripper of the mobile robot, each of the one or more candidate groups of objects including a plurality of objects, determining a grasp quality score for each of the one or more candidate groups of objects, and grasping, by the suction-based gripper of the mobile robot, all objects in a candidate group of objects based, at least in part, on the grasp quality score. The multi-place method includes determining an allowed width associated with the conveyor, selecting a multi-place technique based, at least in part, on the allowed width and a dimension of the multiple grasped objects, and controlling the mobile robot to place the multiple grasped objects on the conveyor based on the selected multi-place technique.
