Original Abstract Submitted
A rebar tying robot may include a rebar tying unit, a conveying unit configured to convey the rebar tying unit, and a control unit configured to control an operation of the conveying unit. The conveying unit may include a longitudinal movement mechanism configured to move the rebar tying robot in a front-rear direction, and a first three-dimensional distance sensor configured to output first point cloud data which represents a three-dimensional position of a subject in a first field of view by point clouds. The control unit may be configured to execute a first rebar extraction process in which the control unit extracts point clouds from the point clouds included in the first point cloud data and a rebar model generation process in which the control unit generates a rebar model based on the point clouds extracted in the first rebar extraction process.
