Application: Grip position setting method and robot system (Patent ID: US20230415337A1)
The patent filed by Seiko Epson Corp. describes a grip position setting method for a robot system that involves gripping an object, storing the height of the end effector during gripping and contact, moving the end effector to separate and bring the object into contact with the working surface, and setting the grip position based on the height difference. The method includes iterations to find the optimal grip position with the smallest height difference, and the contact between the object and the working surface is determined using a force sensor.
Furthermore, the method involves adjusting the grip position until the height difference is below a threshold, utilizing the force sensor data from previous iterations to determine the grip position, and changing the grip position based on the smallest height difference acquired. The trajectory of the end effector during separation and contact with the object is the same, but the movement speed differs. The patent also extends to a robot system that performs the same steps for setting the grip position of an object using the end effector.
