<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically and efficiently obtain a transfer position of a workpiece between a robot and a processing device and to improve flexibility of a production system in which the robot holding the workpiece moves in turn among a plurality of the processing devices and manufactures the workpiece. <P>SOLUTION: The processing device 4 includes a directional wireless communication unit 41, the robot 3 includes a directional wireless communication unit 31 mutually communicating with the communication unit 41 of the processing device 4, an image processing unit (CCD camera 32a) photographing a predetermined featuring point 42 on the processing device 4 and recognizing the position, and a hand unit 33. The robot 3 detects the positional relation with respect to the processing device 4 using the mutual communication units 31, 41, detects precise positional relation with respect to the processing device 4 by recognizing the featuring point 42 using the image processing unit after the detection, and obtains the transfer position of the workpiece based thereon. By two-step positional detection, the position can be obtained precisely and efficiently in a narrow photographing range of the camera. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
