Abstract:
1. A component extracting method comprising: recognizing a position and an attitude of a measured object by taking an image of a light spot group of the measured object with a camera, the measured object and a component of an extracting target being supported in predetermined positions of a component support, the measured object having the light spot group including a plurality of light spots, serving as a measurement target of a position and an attitude, based on a light image expressing light spots constituting the light spot group on an image taken with the camera; computing a position and an attitude of the component based on the position and the attitude of the measured object recognized in the recognizing as well as geometric arrangement positions of the measured object supported by the component support and the component; and manipulating a robot to extract the component from the component support by positioning the robot to face and grasp the component of which position and attitude are computed in the computing, the robot being used to grasp the component.
