  • Publication number: 20240147505
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an apparatus comprising: means for determining (1100), by a sidelink manager, a first resource allocation used by a first module for performing sidelink communications via a first radio access technology; means for determining (1102), by the sidelink manager, a second resource allocation used by a second module for performing sidelink communications via a second radio access technology; means for determining (1104), by the sidelink manager, a resource allocation conflict based on the first resource allocation and the second resource allocation; means for converting (1106), by the sidelink manager, the first resource allocation into a converted first resource allocation compatible with the second radio access technology or the second resource allocation into a converted second resource allocation compatible with the first radio access technology; and means for sending (1108), by the sidelink manager, the converted first resource allocation to the second module or the converted second

  • Publication number: 20230373078
    Abstract: A controller of a robot system performs first control of controlling a robot arm in accordance with an operation with an operator to thereby cause an end effector to apply a treatment to an object and of recording trajectory data and second control of controlling the robot arm based on the trajectory data recorded in the first control to thereby move the end effector such that the end effector reproduces a moving trajectory and applies a treatment to the object. In the second control, in controlling the robot arm based on the trajectory data, the controller controls a pressing force of the end effector against the object.

  • Publication number: 20230038804
    Abstract: A master-slave system includes: a master unit including an operation end, an operation detector that detects operational information inputted by a force being applied to the operation end, and a force applier that gives a force to the operation end; a slave unit including an action part, and an operation part that moves the action part; and a control device. The control device outputs, according to a regulating condition and the operational information, a command for causing the operation part to operate the action part to carry out operation reflecting the regulating condition. The control device outputs, according to the regulating condition, a command for causing the force applier to give a force to the operation end against the input to the operation end that commands the given movement of the action part.

  • Publication number: 20220401169
    Abstract: A master-slave system includes a master unit, a slave unit, and a control device. The control device includes first circuitry that determines a first relationship that is a relationship between a slave coordinate system and an object coordinate system, second circuitry that determines a second relationship that is a relationship between a master coordinate system and the object coordinate system, and third circuitry that outputs an operational command for causing the slave unit to operate according to operational information of the master unit, the first relationship, and the second relationship. When the object coordinate system is moved, the first circuitry newly determines the first relationship after the movement based on the moved object coordinate system and the slave coordinate system, and the second-circuitry determines the second relationship after the movement, as a relationship similar to the second relationship before the movement.

  • Publication number: 20220063095
    Abstract: A robot system includes a slave unit including a slave arm having a working end, a slave arm actuator configured to drive the slave arm, and a slave-side controller configured to control the slave arm actuator based on a slave operating command for defining a target position of the working end, a master unit including a master arm having a manipulation end into which the content of manipulation is inputted by an operator, and a system controller configured to generate the slave operating command based on the content of manipulation inputted into the manipulation end. When a command corresponding to the content of manipulation is a command corresponding to a limit equivalent range corresponding to a limit of operation of at least one of the slave arm and the master arm, the system controller performs processing to give perception to the operator.
