Patent number: 11052010Abstract: A training device suppresses unintended operation of an operation rod when executing an operation mode in which operation of the operation rod is controlled based on a force applied to the operation rod. The training device includes the operation rod, a motor, a force detector, a rotation information output sensor, a first command calculator, and a force corrector. The operation rod moves a limb. The motor operates the operation rod in a direction of degree of freedom. The force detector detects a force component and outputs a force component signal. The rotation information output sensor detects an operation position of the operation rod in a corresponding direction of degree of freedom. The force corrector calculates a corrected force component value based on operation positions of the operation rod and force component signal. The first command calculator calculates a first motor control command based on the corrected force component value.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2015Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignees: Murata Machinery, Ltd., Teijin Pharma LimitedInventors: Osamu Oshima, Hiroaki Ohmatsu, Fumi Fujita, Akihiro Maeda, Jun Takeda
