Abstract

To provide a collaborative robotic device that can inspect the physical characteristics of a product in a short amount of time. [Solution] The collaborative robot device works together with the user. This collaborative robot device includes an appearance inspection unit for inspecting the appearance of a workpiece and a physical properties inspection unit for inspecting the physical properties of the workpiece. The physical properties inspection unit may irradiate the workpiece with infrared light and detect the crystalline state of the workpiece based on the transmission of the infrared light. The collaborative robot device includes a work robot equipped with a hand unit for gripping the workpiece, and the physical properties inspection unit may detect the physical characteristics of the workpiece based on the amount of deformation of the workpiece when the hand unit is gripping the workpiece.
