A robot system according to an aspect of the embodiments includes a plurality of work holding units and a heat insulating member. The work holding units each hold a work to be conveyed on one surface and are arranged vertically one over another in some cases during conveying of the work. The heat insulating member is provided on another surface side of at least one of the work holding units.

Conveying robot

A suction structure includes a pad and a fixing base. The pad includes a contact portion which makes contact with a target object to be sucked and which has a seal wall, and a major surface portion which is surrounded by the contact portion and which defines an inner space in conjunction with the seal wall as the contact portion makes contact with the target object. The fixing base includes a support portion configured to support the pad at a position offset from the center of the major surface portion of the pad, and a suction hole configured to bring the inner space into communication with a vacuum source.

Suction structure, robot hand and robot

A transfer system according to an embodiment includes a robot and a determination unit. The robot includes robot hands that hold a workpiece in a thin plate shape and that are located at different heights. The determination unit determines the robot hands that hold the workpiece based on a combination of temperature of the workpiece to be held by each of the robot hands.

Transfer system

A robot hand according to embodiments includes a holding unit, a bottom end, an optical sensor, and a reflecting member. The holding unit holds a thin-plate-shaped workpiece. In the bottom end, its leading part is coupled to the holding unit and its tail part is rotatably coupled to an arm. The optical sensor is provided in the bottom end and has a projector and a photoreceiver. The reflecting member is provided in the holding unit. The reflecting member reflects light from the projector, makes it pass through the holding area of the workpiece, and makes it reach the photoreceiver to form an optical path.

Robot hand and robot

A robot hand and a robot according to an embodiment include supporting units. The supporting units are arranged on a base and contact the peripheral border of a board to grip the board. At least one of the supporting units rotates while abutting on the peripheral border of the board.
