MANIPULATOR DEVICE, AND WORK DEVICE WITH MANIPULATOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To acquire the information for operating a manipulator so that an object to be held at any position can come into a range in which the object can be held by the manipulator, and also present the information to an operator so as to be easily understood.SOLUTION: This manipulator device includes an arm part and a hand part. The hand part includes one or more finger parts for holding an object in a holdable range. A first omnidirectional imaging device is provided to the tip of the finger part, and a second omnidirectional imaging device is provided to the hand part at a position other than the tip of the finger part. The first omnidirectional imaging device and the second omnidirectional imaging device are configured so that the imaging axes thereof differ from each other, for example, cross each other. It can be determined that the object comes within the holdable range by confirming that the object is not projected on a picture imaged by the first omnidirectional imaging device and the object is not projected on a picture imaged by the second omnidirectional imaging device.
