    摘要: An industrial robot capable of preventing re-collision after colliding with an obstacle. Disturbing torque exerted on each servomotor for a robot axis is estimated by its associated disturbance estimating observer. When a hand attached to an end of a robot arm collides with an obstacle, an estimated value of disturbance given by a disturbance estimating observer exceeds a predetermined threshold, and the collision is detected. Then, each motor for driving a robot arm is drivingly controlled with a velocity command turned to “0”. Each motor for driving the robot hand is driven with torque having a predetermined magnitude (maximum magnitude) and the same sign as that of an estimated value of disturbing torque exerted on it, for a predetermined time, and then it is brought to an emergency stop. Thus, after colliding with an obstacle, the robot hand is driven in a direction such that it recedes from the obstacle. Therefore, the robot hand is prevented from colliding with the obstacle again, and parts of the robot, the hand and the obstacle are prevented from being damaged by collision.

    摘要: A temporary operation path is set by connecting a plurality of welding points (Tn) in a virtual space generated by a computer to investigate whether an end effector (68) can be operated along the temporary operation path. If the operation cannot be operated, a path to avoid interference with a workpiece (80) is set automatically while extracting a portion in which the workpiece (80) exists in the internal space surrounded by the end effector (68) in order to set a narrow-area operation path for withdrawing the end effector (68) from a welding point (Tn). Next, in order to set a wide-area operation path for making movement between withdrawing points (Ue), a template operation is applied, in which the end effector (68) is moved by a prescribed distance in a prescribed direction.

    摘要: Technologies are generally described for sensor-based safety features for robotic equipment, and the implementation thereof. One or more sensors may be positioned relative to the robotic equipment such that the sensors may capture light from at least a portion of an environment surrounding the robotic equipment. In some examples, the sensors may be integrated with the robotic equipment and/or may be configured to rotate. An analysis module coupled to the sensors may build a model image of the environment based on the light captured by the sensors. The analysis module may detect that an unintended object is approaching the robotic equipment in response to detecting a change in the model image, and based on a proximity and/or a speed of approach of the object to the robotic equipment, the analysis module may instruct the robotic equipment to reduce an operating speed and/or stop motion of the robotic equipment.
