Abstract: Provided is a blood pump controller capable of preventing an operation error in performing a battery exchange with a small-sized and light-weighted configuration and exhibiting high waterproof property. A blood pump controller includes: a controller body for driving a blood pump; a battery pack having a first surface on which an electricity-supply-side battery connection connector is disposed and supplying stored electricity to the controller body; and a battery housing body having a slot which has a second surface on which an electricity-receiving-side battery connection connector is disposed and in which the battery pack is housed and held. When the battery pack is housed in the slot, an electrical connection is made between a pair of the battery connection connectors, the first surface and the second surface opposedly face each other, and a first sealing member provides sealing such that the first sealing member surrounds the pair of battery connection connectors.

Abstract: A robot includes a robot arm having a first member rotatably provided on a base, a second member rotatably provided on the first member, a third member rotatably provided on the second member, and a fourth member rotatably provided on the third member. The fourth member has an arm rotatable about a rotation axis in an axis direction different from an axis direction of a rotation axis of the first member with respect to the base. In a first state, the first member, the second member, and the third member overlap. In a second state, at least one of a distal end of the robot arm and an end effector provided on the distal end of the robot arm overlaps with the second member.

Abstract: A robot has an operation mode setting unit that sets an operation mode of the robot. The operation mode setting unit changes a correction factor multiplied by the maximum acceleration and the maximum deceleration of an arm and the servo gain of a servo circuit, and thereby selectively sets the operation mode to one of a first operation mode, a second operation mode in which the arm operates faster than in the first operation mode, and a third operation mode in which the arm vibrates less than in the first operation mode.
