Abstract

A robot interference checking motion planning technique using point sets. The technique uses CAD models of robot arms and obstacles and converts the CAD models to 3D point sets. The 3D point set coordinates are updated at each time step based on robot and obstacle motion. The 3D points are then converted to 3D grid space indices indicating space occupied by any point on any part. The 3D grid space indices are converted to 1D indices and the 1D indices are stored as sets per object and per time step. Interference checking is performed by computing an intersection of the 1D index sets for a given time step. Swept volumes are created by computing a union of the 1D index sets across multiple time steps. The 1D indices are converted back to 3D coordinates to define the 3D shapes of the swept volumes and the 3D locations of any interferences.

A method and system for robot motion control using a model predictive control (MPC) technique including torque rate control and suppression of end tooling oscillation. An MPC module includes a robot dynamics model which inherently reflects response nonlinearities associated with changes in robot configuration, and an optimization solver having an objective function with a torque rate term and inequality constraints defining bounds on both torque and torque rate. The torque rate control in the MPC module provides an effective means of controlling jerk in robot joints, while accurately modeling robot dynamics as the robot changes configuration during a motion program. End tooling oscillation dynamics may also be included in the MPC objective function and constraints in order to automatically control end tooling vibration in the calculations of the MPC module.

Abstract

A technique for robotic grasp teaching by human demonstration. A human demonstrates a grasp on a workpiece, while a camera provides images of the demonstration which are analyzed to identify a hand pose relative to the workpiece. The hand pose is converted to a plane representing two fingers of a gripper. The hand plane is used to determine a grasp region on the workpiece which corresponds to the human demonstration. The grasp region and the hand pose are used in an optimization computation which is run repeatedly with randomization to generate multiple grasps approximating the demonstration, where each of the optimized grasps is a stable, high quality grasp with gripper-workpiece surface contact. A best one of the generated grasps is then selected and added to a grasp database. The human demonstration may be repeated on different locations of the workpiece to provide multiple different grasps in the database.

This work machine control device superposes a swinging command for commanding relative swinging between a workpiece and a cutting tool onto a movement command for commanding relative movement between the workpiece and the cutting tool, thereby generating air cuts in chips from the workpiece to break down the chips. A position information acquisition unit of the work machine control device acquires position information related to the relative positions of the workpiece and the tool. A state assessment unit of the work machine control device assesses that a state of instability is in effect, under the condition that a positional deviation exceeds a threshold value, the positional deviation increasing with increases in the difference between actual relative positions that are based on the position information and command relative positions that are based on the movement command and the swinging command. A swinging switching unit of the work machine control device performs a switching process for switching a swinging condition in relative swinging, under the condition that it is assessed that the state of instability is in effect.

Abstract

The present invention provides a core block for a motor and a method for producing the core block, which can be efficiently produced and in which the size of a plastic region with poor properties that is formed on an electromagnetic steel sheet of the core block is reduced. This core block for a motor comprises electromagnetic steel sheets laminated on each other, said core block being obtained by carrying out an edge part forming process using electrical energy or optical energy to form the whole or part of the circumferences of edge parts of the electromagnetic steel sheets of the core block and carrying out press working to punch the electromagnetic steel sheets before or after the edge part forming process that uses electrical energy or optical energy.
