20120201448 | ROBOTIC DEVICE, INSPECTION DEVICE, INSPECTION METHOD, AND INSPECTION PROGRAM - A robotic device includes an imaging section adapted to take an image of an object having a hole, and generate an image data of the object including an inspection area of an image of the hole, a robot adapted to move the imaging section, an inspection area luminance value detection section adapted to detect a luminance value of the inspection area from the image data, a reference area luminance value detection section adapted to detect a luminance value of a reference area adjacent to the inspection area from the image data, and a determination section adapted to determine a state of the inspection area based on one of a ratio and a difference between the luminance value of the inspection area detected by the inspection area luminance value detection section and the luminance value of the reference area detected by the reference area luminance value detection section. | 08-09-2012 |
20120209429 | ROBOT APPARATUS, POSITION DETECTING DEVICE, POSITION DETECTING PROGRAM, AND POSITION DETECTING METHOD - A robot apparatus includes: an image pickup device; a goal-image storing unit that stores, according to sensitivity represented by an amount of change of a pixel value at the time when a target aligned with a goal position on an image at a pixel level is displaced by a displacement amount at a sub-pixel level, goal image data in a state in which the target is arranged; and a target detecting unit that calculates a coincident evaluation value of the target on the basis of comparison of image data including the target and the goal image data stored by the goal-image storing unit and detects positional deviation of the target with respect to the goal position on the basis of the coincidence evaluation value. | 08-16-2012 |
20130182903 | ROBOT APPARATUS AND POSITION AND ORIENTATION DETECTING METHOD - A robot apparatus includes a reference-model storing unit configured to store a reference model of an object, a feature-value-table storing unit configured to store a feature value table that associates position data and orientation data of the reference model and a feature value, a photographed-image acquiring unit configured to capture a photographed image of the object, a detecting unit configured to calculate a photographed image feature value from the photographed image, and a driving control unit configured to control a robot main body on the basis of the position data and the orientation data to change the position and the orientation of a gripping unit. | 07-18-2013 |
20130195345 | INSPECTING APPARATUS, ROBOT APPARATUS, INSPECTING METHOD, AND INSPECTING PROGRAM - An inspecting apparatus includes an image pickup unit configured to pick up a plurality of images of an inspection target object with different exposure times and generate, image data of an inspection target object image including an inspection region, a weighted-image-data generating unit configured to weight, for each of the image data generated with the exposure times different from one another, data of pixels indicating a region where a difference in gradation of pixel values is relatively large among regions of pixels included in the image data and generate weighted image data, an image-data combining unit configured to generate combined image data obtained by combining the generated respective weighted image data, and a determining unit configured to determine a state of the inspection region on the basis of image data of a reference image set and the generated combined image data. | 08-01-2013 |
20150109203 | PERFORMING METHOD OF DEVICE CAPABLE OF ADJUSTING IMAGES ACCORDING TO BODY MOTION OF USER - A performing method of a device capable of adjusting images according to a body motion of a user, the device comprising a display unit, at least one camera unit, and a control unit electrically coupled to the display unit and the camera unit, the performing method comprising: capturing at least one motion image of the user by the at least one camera unit; receiving the at least one motion image of the user by the control unit; and adjusting the display unit according to the least one motion image of the user by the control unit, whereby the images displayed by the display unit moving as does the user. | 04-23-2015 |
20150217451 | ROBOT, ROBOT SYSTEM, CONTROL DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD - A robot includes: a hand; and a control unit that operates the hand, in which the control unit generates three-dimensional point group information for a partial image forming a captured image obtained by an imaging unit, and causes the hand to hold an object included in the partial image. | 08-06-2015 |
20150273688 | ROBOT - A robot includes a hand that grips an object and a control unit that operates the hand, the hand includes fingers that are able to grip the object at four or more contact points, and an object of which a metallic tone index is equal to or higher than 5 is gripped with the hand. | 10-01-2015 |
20150339833 | CONTROL APPARATUS, ROBOT, AND CONTROL METHOD - A control apparatus includes a projection unit configured to project a first pattern onto an object; and a selection unit configured to select a single first pattern from a plurality of first patterns. After the projection unit projects each of the plurality of first patterns having different resolutions onto the object, the projection unit projects a second pattern onto the object, the second pattern having the same resolution as that of the selected single first pattern. | 11-26-2015 |
