The suspension assembly mounting method includes: a step of mounting the suspension assembly on a pallet having a support body and a movable member relatively movable with respect to the support body, so as to fix the base body to the support body and engage the arm member with the movable member; a step of causing the movable member to press the arm member upward so that the suspension assembly becomes a position where its own weight load equivalent to the vehicle body weight is applied; a step of lifting the pallet from under the vehicle body and contacting the suspension assembly to the vehicle body; a step of raising the pallet while stopping the movable member from pressing after the contacting; and a vehicle mount step of mounting the suspension assembly on the vehicle body while causing the movable member to press the arm member upward.

Provided is a position and attitude estimation method and system in which the Z coordinate value of each index point Pis estimated according to the size &#x3d5;of each index area Aof a work W acquired through an imaging devicehaving an optical axis parallel to the Z axis of a real space. Based on the Z coordinate value Zof each index point P, the first real space attitude &#x3b8;of an index straight line Qpassing through paired index points Pand Pis estimated. A light beamis irradiated to a first index point Pamong a plurality of index points Pby using an irradiation device, thereby forming and defining a first index area A, which includes the first index point P.

Provided is a nut feeding system for feeding a nut smoothly and efficiently without the occurrence of nut clogging or the like. A posture alignment deviceof the nut feeding systemrepeats an advance and retreat motion of an insert pin. After the insert pinis inserted into a screw hole of the nut N, the nut N is raised and transferred from the posture alignment devicetowards a supply placing unit

The grip position calculator determines a grip position where the fingers can grip a workpiece in any orientation of the workpiece. The calculator then determines an initial position where the finger tips can grip the workpiece and set the initial position as a point of calculation. Then an allowable gripping force is calculated which is an index that indicates an allowable force to be applied to the workpiece at point. Then other allowable forces are calculated for a plurality of points near the point of calculation. Then the point of calculation is selected as a possible gripping position if the allowable force a point is greater than any of the allowable forces. Otherwise, one of the points is selected for another point of calculation where the greatest allowable force (De) has been calculated and return to calculating an allowable gripping force.
