Apparatus and methods for generating virtual environment displays based on a group of sensors are provided. A computing device can receive first data about an environment from a first group of one or more sensors. The computing device can model the environment as a virtual environment based on the first data. The computing device can determine whether to obtain additional data to model the environment. After determining to obtain additional data to model the environment, the computing device can: receive second data about the environment, and model the environment as the virtual environment based on at least the second data. The computing device can generate a display of the virtual environment.

A position adjusting device includes a movable mechanical arm, suction, an adjusting mechanism, a bottom plate, a first camera, a second camera, and a processor. The processor controls the movable mechanism arm and the suction to move to a top of the first camera in response to a user operation, switches the first camera from a disabled state to the enabled state, acquires the first image captured by the first camera, and calculates a first angle between the first image and a first predetermined image. The processor adjusts the position of a second element based on the first angle and acquires a second angle between a second image of the second element and a second predetermined image. The processor adjusts the position of the second element until the first angle is the same as the second angle when the first angle is not the same as the second angle.

Provided is an agent robot control system comprising an acquisition unit which acquires a purchasing master list which shows a user's purchase merchandise candidates, and a control unit which generates a purchasing execution list for recommending, from the purchasing master list, purchases for select merchandise to be performed at real storefronts and for recommending purchases for other merchandise to be performed at online storefronts.

A robot includes a movable part, and the movable part performs an action based on a position of a first marker obtained using first position and attitude of the movable part when a first image containing the first marker is captured by an imaging unit provided in the movable part and second position and attitude of the movable part when a second image containing the first marker is captured by the imaging unit.

A controller for controlling a plurality of robots includes a failure prediction section configured to predict a failure time for each of the robots; and a load adjustment section configured to perform adjustment of a work load of each of the robots according to each of the predicted failure times, so that each of the robots operates until a maintenance time determined in common to each of the robots.

The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a robot control device that reduces the risk of a collision occurring between a worker and a robot while maintaining high work efficiency when the worker and the robot work in a shared workspace. The present invention comprises: a robot control state measuring unit (102) that measures a robot control state that includes the position and the postureof a robot; a work area setting unit (104) that stores, for each work process, an area that contains the space occupied by the body of a worker in work actions performed by the worker from the startto the end of the work process, and that sets a work area corresponding to the current work process of the worker on the basis of a work process specifying signal that specifies the work process thatis currently being performed by the worker; and a robot command generating unit (105) that generates an operation command (105a) for the robot on the basis of the work area and the robot control state. The robot command generating unit (105) changes the operation command (105a) for the robot in accordance with whether the robot is inside the work area.

An object of the present invention is to provide a robot control device that maintains high work efficiency and reduces the possibility of collision between the operator and the robot when they share the work space and perform work. It has a robot control state measurement unit (102 ), which measures the position and posture of the robot, that is, the robot control state; the work area setting part (104), which includes the body occupied by the operator in the operation action from the beginning to the end of the operation process. The area including the space is stored for each work process, and the work area corresponding to the current work process of the operator is set based on the work process specifying signal specifying the work process currently performed by the operator; and The robot instruction generating part (105), which generates an action instruction (105a) to the robot based on the operating area and the robot control state, and the robot instruction generating part (105) responds to the action instruction (105a) of the robot according to whether the robot exists in the operating area. ) to make changes.
