  • Patent number: 12214686
    Abstract: The present invention reduces the possibility that a connector for charging cannot be appropriately inserted into a power feeding port of an electric automobile. The information processing device identifies a position of a power feeding port provided in an electric automobile and controls an arm portion, on the basis of a result of identification, so as to move a connector to a position facing the power feeding port. The information processing device controls the arm portion so as to insert the connector into the power feeding port. At this time, the information processing device controls the arm portion, on the basis of a value detected by a force sensor, so that a force along a direction other than an insertion direction in which the connector is inserted and/or a torque have/has a magnitude not greater than a threshold.
