  • Publication number: 20240083024
    Abstract: A spring constant correction device and method measure a position and attitude of a distal end of an articulated robot when the articulated robot is operated in a state where elastic deformation is compensated, compare measurement values of the position and attitude of the distal end and target values of the position and attitude, and correct a spring constant based on a result of the comparison. In case of the correction, the spring constant is corrected at a predetermined position based on at least three of: an angle of an end point attitude based on the measured attitude; a torque of the distal end in the end point attitude; an angle of the distal end in a target attitude; and a torque of the distal end in the target attitude. A program of such a method is recorded in a recording medium.

  • Patent number: 11926285
    Abstract: A remote communication system includes a portable device; and a fixed system. The fixed system includes main communication modules; and a position estimating unit configured to estimate a position of the portable device, based on an incident angle of a signal from the portable device, upon detecting the signal by antennas provided in the main communication modules. When there are two main communication modules for which the incident angle is known, the position of the portable device is estimated based on the incident angle. When there is one main communication module for which the incident angle is known, the position of the portable device is estimated based on the incident angle and a received radio wave intensity of the signal. When there is no main communication module for which the incident angle is known, the position of the portable device is estimated based on the received radio wave intensity.

  • Patent number: 11919391
    Abstract: An upper display region and a lower display region are provided on a display surface of a single display device used for a combination meter device or the like for a vehicle, and by reflecting a light image of a real image displayed in the lower display region by a reflecting member and projecting the light image in a state of overlapping the upper display region, a virtual image and a portion of the real image are simultaneously displayed to be overlapped on the same region. By arranging the lower display region in a place that becomes a blind spot of a structure such as a steering wheel, it is possible to effectively utilize a space of the blind spot for performing display. By allowing an inclination angle of the reflecting member to be adjusted, position alignment between a region of the real image and a region of the virtual image is implemented even when a viewpoint EP position is changed.
