A system and method generate an overhead camera-based encompassing box that encompasses an object to be gripped included in an image captured by an overhead camera mounted on a robot and a hand camera-based encompassing box that encompasses the object to be gripped included in an image captured by a hand camera mounted on the robot. Moreover, a relative position of a target gripping position of the object to be gripped with respect to the overhead camera-based encompassing box in the image captured by the overhead camera is calculated, the target gripping position with respect to the hand camera-based encompassing box in the image captured by the hand camera is calculated on the basis of the calculated relative position, and the calculated position is set as a corrected target gripping position of the object to be gripped included in the image captured by the hand camera.

Robot control apparatus, robot control method, and program

A tactile presentation apparatus including: an operation unit operated by a user; a vibration unit that presents a vibration of an operation target of the operation unit; a contact unit that transmits the vibration by the vibration unit to the user; and an installation unit coupled to the operation unit, over the contact unit provided via an elastic body.

Tactile presentation apparatus and tactile presentation system

An apparatus capable of smoothly injecting contents in an object into another object, an injection method, and an injection program. The apparatus includes a robotic arm device configured to grip a first container, and circuitry configured to recognize a flowrate of contents while injecting an amount of the contents from the first container into a second container, and control a tilt of the first container using the robotic arm device to inject the contents into the second container according to the recognized flowrate of the contents.

Injection apparatus, injection method, and injection program

There is provided an information processing apparatus to estimate a position of a distal end of a movable unit with a reduced processing load, the information processing including a position computer that computes, on the basis of first positional information obtained from reading of a projected marker by a first visual sensor and second positional information including positional information obtained from reading of the marker by a second visual sensor that moves relative to the first visual sensor, a position of a movable unit in which the second visual sensor is disposed. This makes it possible to estimate the position of the distal end of the movable unit with a reduced processing load.
