Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – From Alexandria, Virginia, NewsRx jour nalists report that a patent by the inventors Diankov, Rosen Nikolaev (Tokyo, JP ), Matsuoka, Shintaro (Tokyo, JP), Mizoguchi, Hironori (Tokyo, JP), filed on Aug ust 2, 2021, was published online on May 14, 2024. The patent’s assignee for patent number 11981518 is MUJIN Inc. (Tokyo, Japan). News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “Robots (e.g., machines configured to automatically/autonom ously execute physical actions) are now extensively used in many fields. Robots, for example, can be used to execute various tasks (e.g., manipulate or transfer an object) in manufacturing, packaging, transport and/or shipping, etc. In exec uting the tasks, robots can replicate human actions, thereby replacing or reduci ng human involvements that are otherwise required to perform dangerous or repeti tive tasks. Robots often lack the sophistication necessary to duplicate human se nsitivity and/or adaptability required for executing more complex tasks. For exa mple, robots often have difficulty gripping object(s) in certain sub-optimal loc ations or poses. Accordingly, there remains a need for improved robotic systems and techniques for transferring objects using a set of gripping tools.”
