Abstract: Provided is a technique with which a batter who is practicing batting with a tee can acknowledge how the batter should change his/her hitting posture. An information processing device includes a processor that executes: (a) continuously measuring, according to either or both of output signals from a motion sensor and a force plate, a posture of a batter who is practicing batting with a tee; (b) determining, according to an output signal from a force sensor internally stored in the tee, a timing at which the batter hits a ball placed at the tee; (c) determining, as a hitting posture of the batter, a posture of the batter at the determined timing; and (d) outputting a message instructing the batter to change the batter's hitting posture, according to information indicating an exemplary hitting posture and information indicating the determined batter's hitting posture.

Abstract: The present invention reduces the possibility that a connector for charging cannot be appropriately inserted into a power feeding port of an electric automobile.
The information processing device identifies a position of a power feeding port provided in an electric automobile and controls an arm portion, on the basis of a result of identification, so as to move a connector to a position facing the power feeding port. The information processing device controls the arm portion so as to insert the connector into the power feeding port. At this time, the information processing device controls the arm portion, on the basis of a value detected by a force sensor, so that a force along a direction other than an insertion direction in which the connector is inserted and/or a torque have/has a magnitude not greater than a threshold.

Abstract: A force sensor includes a force receiver which receives a force or a moment that acts on a detection target part, and a strain element which is provided to a sensor base and which serves as an elastic support that supports the force receiver. The force sensor includes two systems of detecting sections which each independently detect strain of four beam parts of the strain element, two systems of computing circuits which each independently compute, on the basis of a detection result that has been outputted from a corresponding one of the two systems of detecting sections, the force or the moment that acts on the detection target part, and two systems of output sections which each independently output, as an electrical signal, a computation result that has been outputted from a corresponding one of the two systems of computing circuits.

Abstract: A robot includes a robot hand, a robot arm, a force sensor, and a control device. The control device performs admittance control to determine a position of the robot hand in accordance with a force detected by the force sensor, and provides, to the robot arm, an instruction to move the robot hand to the determined position. Further, the control device records, as teaching data, the instruction provided to the robot arm.
