A control device includes a processor that is configured to execute computer-executable instructions so as to control an arm included in a robot. The processor is configured to perform work on a target using a tool that performs work on the target. A distance meter measures a measurement value according to a relative distance between a first position of the target and the tool. The first position includes a portion overlapping with the tool when viewed from a direction toward the target from the tool.

Control device, robot, and robot system

A control apparatus that controls a robot including a dispenser and range sensors includes a control unit, and the control unit controls a robot arm, when the dispenser is moved in a first moving direction, to place the first range sensor anterior and calculates an amount of ejection using a difference between values detected by the first range sensor and the second range sensor forming a set and controls the robot arm, when the dispenser is moved in a second moving direction, to place the third range sensor anterior and calculates the amount of ejection using a difference between values detected by the third range sensor and the fourth range sensor.

Control apparatus, robot system, and robot

A robot control apparatus includes a processor that is configured to control a robot having a robot arm to which an end effector is attached. The processor is configured to: insert one end of a cable into a first connector while holding a side of one end of the cable using the end effector; store a position and a posture of a specific point on the cable or the end effector when the insertion of the one end of the cable into the first connector is completed; move the end effector along the cable toward a side of the other end of the cable based on an amount of movement toward the other end of the cable stored in advance and the position and the posture while guiding the cable using the end effector; hold the side of the other end of the cable using the end effector.

Robot control apparatus, robot, and robot system

A robot controller comprising a processor that is configured to execute computer-executable instructions so as to controls a robot including an arm capable of moving at least one of a target object and a discharger capable of discharging a discharge object to the target object, wherein the processor is configured to use a first position based on a jig removably attached to the discharger to generate teaching information on a position of the arm.

Robot controller and robot system

A robot includes an arm, and a force detector provided in the arm and detecting a force, wherein at least one of a first object and a second object is moved in a direction in which the first object and the second object are closer to each other by the arm, and, if contact of the first object with a position different from an insertion portion of the second object is determined based on output of the force detector, the first object and the second object are separated.

Robot and robot system

A workpiece supplying device includes a pallet that has a stepped portion and accommodates a workpiece, a vibration unit that applies vibration to the pallet, and a posture change unit that changes a posture of the workpiece.

Workpiece supplying device, robot, and robot system

A workpiece supplying device includes a pallet that has a groove portion being disposed in an arc state and a stepped portion including a stepped surface intersecting a circumferential direction of the pallet and accommodates a workpiece, and a vibration unit that drives the pallet due to vibration and transports the workpiece in the circumferential direction toward the stepped portion. A plurality of the groove portions are disposed in a concentric manner.
