Title: Locating feature position for guiding robot
Inventor: SHUBANG SRIDHAR
IPC: G01B11/24
Filed: 2016-10-18
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a feature detection system to visually identify a feature on a component.SOLUTION: The feature detection system includes at least two cameras that capture images of the feature from different angles or perspectives. From these images, the system generates a 3D point cloud of the components in the images. Instead of projecting boundaries of the feature onto the point cloud directly, the aspects herein identify predefined geometric shapes in the 3D point cloud. The system then projects pixel locations of the boundaries of the feature onto the identified geometric shapes in the point cloud. Doing such a manner yields 3D coordinates of the feature which can be used next by a robot in order to perform a manufacturing process.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Filed: 2016-11-25
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To balance between drivability and fuel economy on a slope road in a vehicle control apparatus that has a travel mode performing drive force control and shift control without needing an acceleration-deceleration operation.SOLUTION: A control apparatus includes an AI control part for controlling an automatic transmission so as to maintain an engine revolution speed Ne higher when traveling on a slope road in comparison with traveling on a flat road, obtaining a superior drivability when traveling on a slope road. Further, in a second travel mode (unmanned and manned automatic operation travel modes, and a cruise travel mode), an increase width of engine revolution speed Ne is limited more than in a first travel mode (a drive operation travel mode), improving fuel economy. In the second travel mode, a driver performs no acceleration-deceleration operation, and therefore a requirement to drivability is limited. Further, even if the drivability is somewhat deteriorated by limiting the increase width of the engine revolution speed Ne, a possibility of causing the driver to feel discomfort is low.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8
