Abstract: A robot system includes a robot, and an information processing portion. The information processing portion is configured to obtain a learned model by learning first force information about a force applied by a worker to a workpiece, first position information about a position of a first portion of the worker, and first workpiece information about a state of the workpiece, and control the robot on a basis of output data of the learned model.

Abstract: A semiconductor device fabricating apparatus includes a thermocouple and a temperature measuring member. The temperature measuring member has thermal characteristics identical or substantially identical to those of a target substrate, a maximum outer diameter smaller than that thereof, and a thickness identical or substantially identical to that thereof. The thermocouple has a thermal junction point connected to the temperature measuring member.

Abstract: A sequence control process includes an input/output transfer process and an operation process of a programmable controller program. At least one of an execution procedure of the input/output transfer process and a programmable controller program is generated in advance in the form of a machine language program that which can directly be executed by the central processing unit, and stored into a RAM. Then, the sequence control process is cyclically performed by the central processing unit based on the stored machine language program.

Abstract: In a treatment system of radioactive waste solution including sodium sulfate generated from a boiling water type nuclear reactor, waste solution is fed into a thin film evaporator where the waste solution is evaporated and made into powder while precipitating in a peripheral surface of the evaporator vessel. The surface of the precipitated solid is wiped by rotating wiper blades and removed off as radioactive solid powder. The rotational speed of a rotor to which the wiper blades are secured is controlled at a minimum and necessary rotational speed which contributes to make the waste solution into the powder so that the rate of worn out of the wiper blade is decreased.

Abstract: A granulating apparatus comprising a device which adds a binder of an epoxy resin or the like into a powder to-be-treated, a screw feeder which conveys the powder to-be-treated containing the binder, and rolls which compression-molds it. By rotating the screw feeder and the rolls, the powder to-be-treated is caused to induce internal friction and to generate heat, thereby to temporarily dissolve the binder, whereupon the powder to-be-treated is pelletized. In order to temporarily dissolve the binder, the granulating apparatus is equipped with a device for measuring the temperature of the powder to-be-treated, and a controller for controlling the stirring speed of the screw feeder and the molding speed of the rolls on the basis of the measured value so as to establish a desired temperature.
