The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for calibrating a transformation matrix of a force sensor, in which: a force sensor is attached between a wrist portion and a hand portion of a robot; a standard work (weight) whose weight and position of a center of gravity are known is attached or held to the hand portion; each driving source of the robot is made operative in response to commands from a control unit and thereby sequentially changing the posture of the force sensor attached to the robot; the control unit obtains a force consisting of a force and a moment due to an arithmetic operation from the posture and position information of the force sensor which is detected on the basis of signals from encoders to detect an operational amount of each operating element of the robot and from the weights and the positions of the centers of gravity of the standard work and the hand portion and the like inputted as data; the control unit receives a strain voltage detected from the force sensor; the control unit calculates the transformation matrix of the force sensor from the force consisting of the force and moment derived and from the strain voltage received in accordance with a predetermined arithmetic logic equation and then stores the transformation matrix into memory means; and then the transformation matrix of the force sensor is calibrated.
摘要:
A method of controlling an industrial robot wherein velocities of the actuators for the robot are based on the velocity of a robot hand moving along a predetermined path of travel. When the velocity of any single actuator exceeds its ability, the velocities of the actuators are revised so as to bring the velocities of all the actuators within their abilities, thereby revising the velocity of the robot hand along its path of travel. Calculation of the velocity of each actuator may be carried out based on the position and posture of the robot hand and a Jacobian matrix.

A coating is applied on an optical fiber drawn from a melted tip of an optical-fiber preform. A glass spin is applied to a coated optical fiber by gripping the coated optical fiber with at least a pair of spinning applying rollers arranged in different levels with parallel rotation axes, rotating the spinning applying rollers so that the coated optical fiber is guided in a predetermined direction, and alternately shifting the spinning applying rollers in opposite directions along the rotation axes. The glass spin is applied to the coated optical fiber in a state in which each of the rotation axes is tilted at a predetermined angle from a plane perpendicular to the first direction.

An optical disc device in which a reproduction speed of audio information recorded in a track (or disc) of a mini-disc (MD) etc. can be easily changed. Reproduction speed information is recorded in a track name area (or disc name area) of UTOC area of an MD etc. At the time of reproduction, the audio information is reproduced at a speed according to this reproduction speed information code. As a result, it is possible to reproduce audio information at a speed according to the reproduction speed information code, for each track (or each disc).

A circuit for detecting the variation of resistance of a variable-resistance element comprises a pair of grounded-base transistors with their base electrodes provided with different base voltages and with their emitter electrodes connected to both terminals of the variable-resistance element so that the voltage between both terminals of the element is kept constant. The current density of the variable-resistance element does not vary when the resistance of the variable-resistance element varies, whereby the lifetime of the element can be prolonged.
