  • Publication number: 20250014280
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an information processing apparatus being capable of suppressing an increase in capacity and preventing a decrease in accuracy of a shape of an object when generating image data based on point cloud data. The information processing apparatus according to the present disclosure includes: an identification unit that identifies a shape of an object included in point cloud data; a generation unit that generates first mesh data of a first object whose shape is identified, and generates second mesh data of a second object whose shape is identified, by using a mesh resolution different from a mesh resolution used in generating the first mesh data; and an integration unit that generates three-dimensional data acquired by combining the first mesh data and the second mesh data.

  • Publication number: 20250015670
    Abstract: An electric actuator includes an electric motor, a drive device that drives the electric motor to output a first rotary motion using power accumulated in a capacitor, and a motion converter that is coupled to the electric motor and converts the first rotary motion into a second rotary motion. The first rotary motion is forward and reverse rotary motions that are output by the electric motor as the drive device drives the electric motor to repeat forward rotation and reverse rotation. The second rotary motion is a unidirectional rotary motion. Regenerative electric power generated in the electric motor by the electric motor repeating the forward rotation and the reverse rotation is supplied to the capacitor.

  • Patent number: 12188843
    Abstract: A test device includes an input side drive part that drives a steering shaft of a steering device, a control part that controls the input side drive part, and a position detecting part that detects an angular position of the steering shaft. The control part restricts a maximum value of a torque of the steering shaft when the angular position reaches an end-abutment position. The control part also controls driving of the steering shaft by a position control in which the angular position is used as a controlled variable and a torque control in which the torque is used as a controlled variable. The control part performs the position control when the angular position is outside a first angular range including the end-abutment position and switches the driving of the steering shaft from the position control to the torque control when the angular position reaches within the first angular range.
