    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relates to an electronic device, a vision-based operation method and system for a robot. The electronic device includes at least one processing unit; and a memory coupled to the at least one processing unit and storing computer program instructions therein, the instructions, when executed by the at least one processing unit, causing the electronic device to perform acts including: obtaining an image containing a tool of a robot and an object to be operated by the tool, the image being captured by a camera with a parameter, obtaining a command for operating the tool, the command generated based on the image; and controlling the robot based on the command and the parameter. Embodiments of the present disclosure can greatly improve the accuracy, efficiency and safety of an operation of a robot.

    Abstract: The present application relates to a method for robot control. The method includes: obtaining at least one parameter associated with a robot to be controlled by a controller; determining a first identity of the robot based on the at least one parameter; comparing the first identity with a pre-stored second identity; and in response to the first identity matching the second identity, controlling operations of the robot with the controller. The present application further discloses detection of a mismatch between the controller and the robot in an easy, safe and convenient way.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods for managing a robot system. In one method, orientations for links in the robot system may be obtained when the links are arranged in at least one posture, here each of the orientations indicates a direction pointed by one of the links. At least one image of an object placed in the robot system may be obtained from a vision device equipped on one of the links. Based on the orientations and the at least one image, a first mapping may be determined between a vision coordinate system of the vision device and a link coordination system of the link. Further, embodiments of present disclosure provide apparatuses, systems, and computer readable media for managing a robot system. The vision device may be calibrated by the first mapping and may be used to manage operations of the robot system.
