Abstract: [Problem] Provided is a link mechanism capable of moving a tip end part substantially straight by using a simpler structure. [Solution] A link mechanism including a first parallel link mechanism having a fixed link and an intermediate link parallel to each other, and a pair of side links parallel to each other, a second parallel link mechanism having a fixed link and an intermediate link parallel to each other, and a pair of side links parallel to each other, in which the fixed link is connected to the intermediate link of the first parallel link mechanism, a fixed structure that is formed including the intermediate link of the first parallel link mechanism and the fixed link of the second parallel link mechanism, and a coupling link that couples one of the side links of the first parallel link mechanism and one of the side links of the second parallel link mechanism.

Abstract: Provided is a processing device that includes a processing unit that estimates a holding force with which an operator holds an operation body on the basis of a model that corresponds to a first robot. The first robot includes the operation body provided in a link connected to a passive articulation and a force sensor that detects a force applied to the operation body. The model regards the force sensor as a virtual articulation.

Abstract: Provided is a control device capable of controlling the operation of a control target according to a detected external force. A control device (200) includes a control unit (210-1) that compares a first external force detected by a force sensor provided in a control target and a second external force estimated on the basis of a torque detected by a torque sensor provided in an a movable portion of the control target, the movable portion enabling the force sensor to be movable, and controls the operation of the control target by correcting a torque command value on the basis of a result of the comparison.

Abstract: [Problem to be Solved] There are provided a control apparatus, a control method, and a master-slave system.
[Solution] A control apparatus includes: a detector that detects whether or not a master apparatus used for an operation of a slave apparatus is located at a movable range limit; and a controller that controls, on the basis of a detection result, a slave parameter related to control of the slave apparatus and an image parameter related to an image displayed on the basis of imaging.

Abstract: A control device and a control method of a master-slave system and the master-slave system are provided. A control device, which controls an operation of a master-slave system, includes a control unit that applies, to a control system of the master-slave system, a restraint force corresponding to an operation in a desired translational or rotational direction by the master. The control unit applies, to the control system, the restraint force according to a difference between a current position or posture of the master and a reference value of a position or posture to be restrained. The control system controls the master-slave system, for example, by a bilateral control method or a unilateral control method.
