Abstract: The present invention generates, from among paths that exist for a task to assemble target objects together, an operation path that can be executed at high speed without a probing operation. An acquisition section 32, for an operation to assemble a main target object 90A gripped by a gripping section of a robot 42 together with an auxiliary target object 90B that is an assembly target, acquires a start position and orientation, and an end position and orientation, of the gripping section relative to the main target object 90A, and acquires environment information. Based on the acquired information, a simulation section 34 performs a simulation of a transition of contact states between the main target object 90A and the auxiliary target object 90B, from a contact state until there is a non-contact state.

Abstract: An acquisition section (31) acquires command values to execute a task on a target object with a robot (40) and acquires state data representing a state of the robot (40) in a case in which an action of the robot (40) during the task is taught manually, which is state data of plural types including at least action data representing an action of the robot (40), position/orientation data representing a relative position and relative orientation between the robot (40) and the target object, and external force data representing external force received by the target object during the task. A generation section (33) generates a generator for, based on the command values and the state data acquired for corresponding times by the acquisition section (31), generating command values to execute an action with the robot (40) corresponding to the state data that has been input.

Abstract: An antenna comprises a coil element, a first metallic plate element, a second metallic plate element and terminals. The first metallic plate element and the second metallic plate element each have the shape of a triangle or an isosceles trapezoid. Further, the first metallic plate element and the second metallic plate element are mirror symmetric with respect to a symmetry plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The antenna provides a wider area of use at small size and can thus be used for different transmission technologies, such as NFC and UWB.
