Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A robot is a robot configured to pack food in a container, and includes a first arm configured to move a plate-shaped part, a second arm configured to move a cylindrical part having a top opening and a bottom opening, and a control device. The control device operates the first arm and the second arm so that the cylindrical part and the plate-shaped part are moved above the container, while covering by the plate-shaped part the bottom opening of the cylindrical part where the food is accommodated, and the plate-shaped part is moved over the container to open the bottom opening.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A robot configured to pack food in a container, comprising: a first arm configured to move a plate-shaped part; a second arm configured to move a cylindrical part having a top opening and a bottom opening; and a control device, wherein the control device operates the first arm and the second arm so that the cylindrical part and the plate-shaped part are moved above the container, while covering by the plate-shaped part the bottom opening of the cylindrical part where the food is accommodated, and the plate-shaped part is moved over the container to open the bottom opening. 2 . The robot of claim 1 , wherein the control device operates the first arm so that the food accommodated in the container is brought to one side by the plate-shaped part. 3 . The robot of claim 1 , wherein the control device operates the first arm so that the food accommodated in the container is scooped up by the plate-shaped part and is inserted through the top opening into the cylindrical part placed on a placing surface. 4 . The robot of claim 1 , wherein the control device operates the first arm so that one end of the plate-shaped part is brought in contact with a top edge of the cylindrical part where the food is accommodated and is slid on the top edge to remove the food above the top edge. 5 . The robot of claim 1 , further comprising a depressing part provided to the first arm, wherein the control device operates the first arm so that the food accommodated in the cylindrical part of which the bottom opening is opened is depressed by the depressing part. 6 . The robot of claim 1 , further comprising: a grip part provided to the second arm; and a to-be-gripped part provided to the cylindrical part, wherein the control device operates the second arm so that the cylindrical part is moved by the grip part gripping the to-be-gripped part. 7 . A method of operating a robot configured to pack food in a container, the robot comprising: a first arm configured to move a plate-shaped part; a second arm configured to move a cylindrical part having a top opening and a bottom opening; and a control device, wherein the control device operates the first arm and the second arm so that the cylindrical part and the plate-shaped part are moved above the container, while covering by the plate-shaped part the bottom opening of the cylindrical part where the food is accommodated, and the plate-shaped part is moved over the container to open the bottom opening.
