CONTROLLER OF ROBOT AND CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18489629 titled 'CONTROLLER OF ROBOT AND CONTROL METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a robot that includes a handling portion and multiple sensors to acquire data on forces and position of the robot arm. The robot is controlled using teaching data generated based on the analytical results of the force data during the teaching phase. The robot arm is controlled using position and orientation control in one period and force control in another period.

  • The patent application is for a robot with a handling portion and multiple sensors.
  • The first sensor acquires data on the first force acting on the tip of the robot arm.
  • The second sensor acquires data on the second force acting on the handling portion.
  • The third sensor acquires data on the position and orientation of the tip of the robot arm.
  • The controller of the robot generates teaching data based on the analytical results of the first and second force data during the teaching phase.
  • The robot arm is controlled using position and orientation control based on the data from the third sensor in the first period.
  • The robot arm is controlled using force control based on the first and second force data in the second period.

Potential Applications:

  • Industrial automation: The robot arm can be used in manufacturing processes that require precise handling and force control.
  • Medical robotics: The robot arm can be used in surgical procedures where precise force control is necessary.
  • Warehouse automation: The robot arm can be used for picking and placing objects with varying force requirements.

Problems Solved:

  • Precise force control: The robot arm allows for accurate control of forces applied during operations.
  • Teaching efficiency: The teaching data generated based on force data analysis improves the efficiency of teaching the robot arm.

Benefits:

  • Improved accuracy: The robot arm's position, orientation, and force control capabilities result in improved accuracy in various applications.
  • Increased productivity: The robot arm's ability to handle different forces and be taught efficiently can lead to increased productivity in industrial settings.
  • Enhanced safety: The precise force control of the robot arm reduces the risk of accidents or damage during operations.


Original Abstract Submitted

A robot includes a handling portion handled in teaching an operation of a robot arm, a first sensor acquiring data of a first force acting on a tip of the robot arm, a second sensor acquiring data of a second force acting on the handling portion and a third sensor acquiring data of position and orientation of the tip of the robot arm. A controller of the robot is configured to generate teaching data having a first period and a second period based on analytical results of the first and second force data at a time of teaching the robot arm. The robot arm is controlled by position and orientation control based on the position and orientation data of the third sensor in the first period. The robot arm is controlled by force control based on the first and second force data in the second period.
