An autonomous mobile device has its movement controlled by a control device and includes a first sensing unit for sensing an obstacle. The control device includes a first storage unit for storing information as to a temporary positional fluctuation of the obstacle and sets as a virtual obstacle region a region where it is predicted that the obstacle sensed by the first sensing unit travels following a predetermined time passage based on the information as to the temporary positional fluctuation of the obstacle stored in the first storage unit.

An inverted two-wheel guided vehicle is provided with a vehicle body 4 including a loading platform, a carriage 5 supported on wheels 1a, 1b, a moving mechanism 7 for displacing relative positions of the vehicle body 4 and the carriage 5, an inclination sensor 6 for detecting the posture of the vehicle body 4, and a controller 9 for controllably driving the wheels 1a, 1b and the moving mechanism 7. Since a posture control can be executed such that a seat 8 atop the vehicle body 4 is constantly horizontal by displacing the moving mechanism forward and backward even for a slope or a step in a travel path, a stable travel can be realized by preventing the collapse of baggage piles and giving no discomfort to a loaded person.

The confidential data protection apparatus that restricts use of confidential data to a particular place, thereby satisfying high security.When the confidential data is encrypted, the image data acquisition unit 1004 captures an image in the particular place using a camera module, the place-specific code generation unit 1007 generates a place-specific code using data of the captured image, the encryption processing unit 1009 encrypts the confidential data using the place-specific code, which is deleted after use. When the confidential data is attempted to be used, the image data acquisition unit 1004 uses the camera module again to capture another image in a place where the confidential data is attempted to be used, and the place-specific code generation unit 1007 uses data of the newly captured image to generate a new place-specific code. The encryption processing unit 1009 uses the new place-specific code in an attempt to decrypt the confidential data that has been encrypted.

A manipulator is provided with an arm, an arm, a holding section, a first joint section pivotally interconnecting the arm and the arm, a second joint section pivotally interconnecting the arm and the holding section, a first joint driving section capable of driving the first joint section, a second joint driving section capable of driving the second joint section, a member specifying section for specifying one of the arms which has a possibility of collision with an obstacle or which has collided with the obstacle, and a control device for controlling the first joint driving section and the second joint driving section to pivotally move the one of the arms specified by the member specifying section in a direction away from the obstacle, and pivotally move the other of the arms in a direction toward the obstacle.

It is aimed to provide a manipulator capable of reducing a colliding force exerted to an obstacle even in the case where the manipulator collides without being able to avoid a collision with the obstacle.A manipulator 1 includes an arm unit 3 rotatably provided on a main unit 2. A posture detector 10 executes a control to incline the arm unit 3 obliquely backward with respect to a moving direction P when the main unit 2 of the manipulator 1 is moved. Thus, the arm unit 3 collides with an obstacle 11 in an inclined state, wherefore a colliding force exerted to the obstacle 11 can be distributed.

Each lifting portion includes a fixing portion and a sliding portion slidable relative to the fixing portion. The sliding portion has a placing surface on which a cared person can be placed, and the fixing portion includes an input portion used to input an operation instruction. The input portion can be located at a first position and a second position located more backward relative to the placing surface than the first position in a direction away from the cared person. Therefore, burdens of a carer can be reduced at the time of lifting up the cared person.

A structure is provided with a first member at a base end side, a third member at a leading end side, a second member arranged between the first and third members, and a coupling force generator for generating a first coupling force for pressing an end surface of the first member and that of the second member against each other and a second coupling force for pressing an end surface of the second member and that of the third member against each other. In this structure, the first and third members are relatively displaced upon the application of an external force larger than a coupling force generated between the end surface of the first member and that of the second member by the first coupling force, whereas the second and third members are relatively displaced upon the application of an external force larger than a coupling force generated between the end surface of the second member and that of the first member by the second coupling force.

A robot arm has: a drive gear that has a shaft; a gear frame being capable of turning about the shaft of the drive gear; a first follower gear being capable of turning, in synchronization with the drive gear, about a shaft fixed to the gear frame, in a direction opposite to the turning direction of the drive gear; a transmission control mechanism that is capable of locking the first follower gear to the drive gear; an arm that moves in synchronization with the first follower gear; and a collision detection unit that is capable of detecting a collision between the arm and an obstacle. The transmission control mechanism unlocks the follower gear from the drive gear in response to detection, by the collision detection unit, of collision between the arm and the obstacle.

A manipulator includes a main unit movable to a specified target position, an arm unit rotatably provided on the main unit, and a posture controller. The posture controller controls the posture of the arm unit so that a front surface of the arm unit facing forward in a moving direction of the main unit is not orthogonal to the moving direction of the main unit when the movement of the main unit is performed. The arm unit may be inclined obliquely backward with respect to a moving direction of the main unit when the main unit is moved to a specified target position.
