A robot arm control device includes a pressure sensing module, a workspace defining module and a control module. The pressure sensing module, arranged on a robot arm, detects whether an object hits or touches the robot arm to switch the operating mode of the robot arm. The workspace defining module includes a sensing region arranged on a peripheral area around the robot arm. The workspace defining module determines whether the object enters an operating space according to the position of the object in the sensing region, and sets the working range and the working mode of the robot arm according to which operating space the object has entered. The control module, connected to the robot arm, the pressure sensing module and the workspace defining module, switches the operating mode and outputs a motor driving signal to the robot arm according to the working mode of the robot arm.

Robot arm control device and robot arm operation method

A control device of robot arm including a pressure sensing module and a control module is provided. The pressure sensing module, disposed on an operating portion of a robot arm, has a touch-sensing surface for detecting an operation command applied to the touch-sensing surface. The control module receives at least a pressure sensing signal outputted by the pressure sensing module and outputs a motor driving signal to the robot arm in response to the operation command. The touch-sensing surface includes a first touch-sensing region and a second touch-sensing region. The first touch-sensing region is for defining a first reference coordinate system satisfying a translational motion mode. The second touch-sensing region is for defining a second reference coordinate system satisfying a rotational motion mode. The control module controls the robot arm according to the operation command.

A system and a method are used for maintaining and analyzing manufacturing equipment. The system includes an embedded forecast device (EFD) configured in the manufacturing equipment and a server in communication with the EFD. The EFD is built in with a feature extraction (FE) algorithm and a forecast model (FM), so as to obtain a real time data of the manufacturing equipment and carry out forecasts on the manufacturing equipment to generate a forecast result. The server has various types of FE algorithms and modeling algorithms, which are selected and combined by a user for training and building a required FM and setting related parameters. The embedded forecast device also has a novelty detection model (NDM), which is capable of informing the server to retrain the models when the manufacturing equipment fails and then to update the FM and the NDM of the embedded forecast device.
