New Technology for Breaking Objects with Robots

This patent concerns technology for efficiently mixing multiple objects using a robot. Specifically, it provides a robot control device and method for breaking down stacked objects. The robot can hold objects through an end effector and mix them using mixing components. This enhances work efficiency and demonstrates its effectiveness, especially in tasks involving the breakdown of stacked objects.

• Technology for breaking objects through circular motion
• Accurate recognition of objects using a camera
• Adjustment of gripping force using force sensors

Conventional robot control technologies have struggled to efficiently mix multiple objects. In particular, tasks involving the breakdown of stacked objects often relied heavily on manual labor, consuming time and effort. Furthermore, the limited movements of robots often made it difficult to respond flexibly, leading to decreased work efficiency and a demand for improved productivity in industrial settings.

This patent allows the efficient breakdown of multiple stacked objects using a robot control device. The control unit enables the robot to execute circular motions to break down the stacked objects. It can also perform actions that move multiple objects to stack on top of each other, allowing for the breakdown of these stacked objects. This results in a significant reduction in time and effort compared to traditional manual methods.
