Abstract: In a conventional laminated gasket production method, when a product of a laminated gasket is demolded from a mold, the product is rubbed against the mold and, therefore, minute scratches are formed on a surface of the laminated gasket. These minute scratches are liable to prevent reliable sealing of a liquid drug. The present invention is a method for producing a gasket to be used for a medical syringe and is characterized by including the steps of: preparing a gasket molding mold; molding a gasket having a circumferential surface portion in the mold with the gasket being laminated with a lamination film; and demolding the gasket from the mold, and then forming a groove only in the lamination film circumferentially of the circumferential surface portion of the gasket.

Abstract: Provided is a robot capable of achieving more efficient and faster calculation for generating a gait. A target ZMP trajectory of a robot 1 is defined by a linear function of a target landing position that uses a time function as a coefficient. The time function is defined by a function that permits specified function transformation related to time, and a dynamics model is defined by the specified function transformation related to time. Thus, the problem of determining a target landing position is formulated as a problem accompanied by a linear constraint in which a first specified requirement (a target ZMP trajectory linearly approximated by the linear function of a target landing position falls within a permissible existence range) is satisfied.
