Abstract:
A slip detecting device according to the present disclosure includes a plurality of contact parts having different slipping characteristics when an object (600) in contact with the plurality of regions is slipping; and a sensor that detects a pressure distribution of each of the plurality of contact parts. By employing the plurality of contact parts having different slipping characteristics when the object (600) in contact with the plurality of regions, a timing at which a whole slip occurs is different between the plurality of contact parts, and thus a state of a partial slip in which a part of the object (600) is slipping is able to be detected, so that it is possible to detect a slip of the object (600) with high accuracy.
Abstract:
A robot arm apparatus according to the present disclosure includes: one or a plurality of a joint unit that joins a plurality of links constituting a multi-link structure; an acquisition unit that acquires an on-screen enlargement factor of a subject imaged by an imaging unit attached to the multi-link structure; and a driving control unit that controls driving of the joint unit based on a state of the joint unit and the enlargement factor.
Abstract:
A medical safety control apparatus that includes processing circuitry that obtains a surgical instrument-biological tissue distance, determine whether the surgical instrument-biological tissue distance is greater than a predetermined first restricted distance, in response to determining that the surgical instrument-biological tissue distance is not greater than the predetermined first restricted distance, issues an instruction for stopping a motion of an arm of a support arm apparatus that supports the surgical instrument, in response to determining that the surgical instrument-biological tissue distance is greater than the predetermined first restricted distance, determines whether the surgical instrument-biological tissue distance is greater than a predetermined second restricted distance, and in response to determining that the surgical instrument-biological tissue distance is not greater than the predetermined second restricted distance, issues a first instruction for restricting a motion speed of the arm.
Abstract:
There is provided a medical support arm device including a brake provided in at least one joint of a plurality of joints that define a deployment configuration of a multi-joint arm, and configured to release a rotation shaft of the at least one joint when electricity is supplied to the multi-joint arm and lock the rotation shaft when electricity is not supplied to the multi joint arm. When electricity is not supplied the brake is configured to exert a brake force that supports a weight of the multi-joint arm to maintain the deployment configuration of the multi-joint arm, but also permits rotation of the rotation shaft by an external manually applied force equal to or larger than a predetermined value.
Abstract:
A robot arm apparatus including: an arm unit made up of a plurality of links joined by one or a plurality of joint units, the arm unit is connectable to an imaging unit. An internal model including at least geometric information of the arm unit and focus position information of the imaging unit is updated based on internal model information acquired in a state in which the imaging unit is pointed at a reference point in a real space.

Abstract:
Provided is an actuator, including: a motor; and a reduction gear having a breakdown torque that is less than a starting torque of the motor. A limit value in accordance with the breakdown torque of the reduction gear is set with respect to a control value for driving the motor.
Abstract:
[Object] To provide a technology capable of obtaining information for controlling the movements of a robot more appropriately.[Solution] Provided is a control apparatus including: a control section that infers an intention of an external force on a basis of the external force.
Abstract:
A robot apparatus includes a reception arm determination unit that determines from a left arm or a right arm of a user a reception arm which is used in handing of an object; a hand location calculation unit that calculates a current location of a hand of the reception arm; and a handing operation unit that performs an object handing operation at the location of the hand of the reception arm which is calculated using the hand location calculation unit.
Abstract:
An information processing device, an information processing method, and a program are proposed that make it possible to allow an autonomous moving body to make battery replacement more easily. The information processing device includes a controller. The controller couples, in a first region, a connection terminal to the autonomous moving body. The first region is provided for ejection of a first battery included in the autonomous moving body. The connection terminal is provided for power supply and included in a power supply apparatus disposed in the first region. The controller moves the autonomous moving body with the connection terminal coupled, from the first region to a second region in which a charged second battery is disposed.
