A robot system () includes a slave robot (), a master robot () to remotely control the slave robot, and an elbow guide mechanism () including an elbow support () operable to move to guide an elbow of an operator (O) while supporting the elbow of the operator when the master robot is operated by the operator.

Robot system

A robot system includes a master robot, a plurality of slave robots remotely controlled by the master robot to perform a procedure on a person to be treated, and a switching controller configured or programmed to switch an operational connection between the master robot and each of the plurality of slave robots such that one of the plurality of slave robots is remotely controlled by the master robot.

A safety device according to the present disclosure includes a sensor that is attached to a self-propellable travel device or a robot provided to the travel device, is set with a given detection area on the basis of a position of the sensor, and detects an object existing within the given detection area. The safety device further includes a motion suppressing device that suppresses motions of the travel device and the robot, when the existence of the object within the given detection area is detected by the sensor, and an area changing device that changes the given detection area according to operating states of the travel device and the robot.

Safety device, self-propelled robot system, and controlling method

A robot and a working method by the robot is capable of favorably carrying out a specific work without requiring a jig for fixing an object, such as a workpiece etc., a device for adjusting the posture of the object, etc. One example of the robot includes a first robotic arm having at a tip end a hand part according to a specific work to be performed to an object, and a second robotic arm having at a tip end a hand part according to an assisting work to assist the specific work. The first robotic arm is configured to perform the specific work to the object. The second robotic arm is configured to perform the assisting work to regulate a movement of the object in a given direction, when the first robotic arm performs the specific work.

Robot and working method by the robot

A robot system including a plurality of manipulation parts used to input a command of the specified character information, configured to send the input command of the specified character information to an information processing device, including a manipulation tool unit capable of manipulating the plurality of manipulation parts of the character input device; a robot arm unit capable of holding and moving the manipulation tool unit; an imaging device; a controller including: an imaging device control section to take an image of the paper document; a character string determiner section to determine an input target of the paper document; a manipulation part position determiner section corresponding to the character string; and a robot control section controlling the arm unit so the manipulation tool unit held by the arm unit moves while manipulating the manipulation part determined by the character string determiner section in an arrangement order of the character string.

Robot system and control method of robot system

The robot includes a first arm having a first hand part provided to a tip end thereof, and at least one joint shaft provided between a pedestal and the first hand part, a first acting part configured to contact a given table-like body on which a plurality of workpieces are able to be placed, while the first acting part is provided to the first hand part, a controller, an imaging unit configured to two-dimensionally image a placement surface of the workpieces in the table-like body in a perpendicular direction to the placement surface, and a recognition part configured to recognize a position of the workpiece by performing a two-dimensional pattern matching based on an image two-dimensionally captured by the imaging unit. The controller vibrates the table-like body by controlling the first arm so that the first acting part acts on the table-like body.

Robot and method of controlling the same

A component mounting robot system includes a component transfer robot which transfers a mounting component including a mounting portion to a base component's mounting position; and a jig which corrects the mounting portion's position of the mounting component transferred by the component transfer robot to mounting position, wherein the jig includes a guide portion which corrects the mounting portion's position of the mounting component to the mounting position, and wherein the component transfer robot includes a holding section which holds the mounting component so that a posture of the mounting component is changeable. In this configuration, it becomes possible to construct the component mounting robot system which can correct position of the mounting portion of the mounting component, by changing the posture of the body of the mounting component and guiding the mounting portion to the mounting position even in a case where the mounting component has a cylindrical shape.

Component mounting robot system

A robot configured to perform a work to a moving workpiece is provided, which includes a first robotic arm provided at a tip end thereof with a guide tool configured to support the workpiece, a second robotic arm provided at a tip end thereof with a work tool configured to perform a specific work to the workpiece, and a control device configured to control operations of the first and second robotic arms. The control device controls the operations of the first and second robotic arms according to timing information for which the workpiece reaches a workspace of the robot so that the guide tool guides the workpiece located in the workspace into the space and the work tool performs the specific work to the workpiece guided into the space.
