Application: Robot embedded vision apparatus (Patent ID: US20240153794A1)
The patent filed by Azenta Inc. describes a substrate transport apparatus that includes a transport chamber, a drive section, a robot arm, an imaging system with a camera, and a controller. The camera is mounted in a predetermined location with respect to the transport chamber and is used to capture images of the arm moving to or in a predetermined location. The controller calculates a positional variance of the arm and determines a motion compensation factor to adjust the arm's position. The apparatus aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of substrate transport operations by utilizing imaging technology to monitor and adjust the arm's movements.
The patent also includes claims related to the configuration and operation of the substrate transport apparatus, such as the use of a multi-link robot, indicia on the robot to characterize its characteristics, and the calculation of a motion compensation factor based on positional variances. The apparatus is designed to ensure precise positioning of substrates during transport, with the controller using captured images to calculate and adjust the robot's position. By incorporating imaging technology and advanced control systems, the substrate transport apparatus offers enhanced accuracy and reliability in substrate handling processes, ultimately improving overall operational efficiency and productivity in various industrial applications.
