Embodiment Construction

[0031] The conveyance system of the present embodiment is constituted by a combination of a manipulating device having a hand capable of holding an object and a storage device capable of storing a plurality of objects. Here, as long as the hands included in the manipulation device have a structure capable of grasping an object, any form can be adopted. For example, as the hand, a mechanism configured to be gripped by a plurality of fingers can be employed. In addition, as another method, a method of grasping an object by suction or adsorption can also be applied to the hand. In addition, the manipulation device is configured to be able to control the position of the hand relative to the manipulation main body part that is the main body part of the manipulation device. Therefore, it is possible to position the hand relative to the object and move the object grasped by the hand. It should be noted that, in the present disclosure, the mechanism for displacing the hand with resp...

Abstract

A transport system comprising a manipulator device and a housing device. The manipulator device has a hand capable of grasping target objects. The hand position can be controlled relative to a manipulator main body section which is the main body section of the manipulator device. The housing device has a housing section capable of housing a plurality of target objects. The housing device is configured so as to carry the target objects housed in the housing section, one at a time, to a prescribed position accessible by the hand. The manipulator device and the housing device are configured so as to travel as an integrated unit, in a state in which the manipulator main body section and the housing device are coupled. The prescribed position is set at a known position using the manipulator main body section as a reference therefor, in a state in which the manipulator main body section and the housing device are coupled and the manipulator device and the housing device are an integrated unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a conveyance system for conveying objects. Background technique [0002] Recently, robots are gradually and widely used in daily life. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a robot that conveys objects such as food and beverages to a user. This robot has a tray on which an object is placed, and moves to the side of the user with the object placed on the tray to carry out the above-mentioned conveyance. However, in a conveyance system using a robot like this, it is not easy to convey many objects at a time. In addition, considering the influence on the object being conveyed (for example, shaking, overturning, etc.), the speed at the time of conveyance must be limited. etc. are greatly restricted. [0003] Moreover, as a system which conveys an object, the food delivery cart shown in patent document 2 and patent document 3 can be illustrated, for example. These catering carts can accommodate many objects (drinks an...
