Abstract: A robot remote operation control device includes, in robot remote operation control for an operator to remotely operate a robot capable of gripping an object, an information acquisition unit that acquires operator state information on a state of the operator who operates the robot, an intention estimation unit that estimates a motion intention of the operator who causes the robot to perform a motion, on the basis of the operator state information, and a gripping method determination unit that determines a gripping method for the object on the basis of the estimated motion intention of the operator.

Abstract: In a ship an opening is provided in the bow for skimming an oil/water mixture off the surface of the body of the water on which the ship travels. A ramp located within the ship slopes upwardly from the bow toward the stern and conveys the mixture to a location over a collection tank. The end of the ramp closer to the stern is formed by an overflow flap pivotally connected to the fore part of the ramp. Sensing elements check various factors affecting flow into the collecting tank and control an adjusting device which pivotally positions the overflow flap relative to the remainder of the ramp.
