  • Patent number: 11701772
    Abstract: The automatic operation system includes a plurality of learned imitation models and a model selecting unit. The learned imitation models are constructed by machine learning of operation history data, the operation history data being classified into several groups by an automatic classification system algorithm, the operation history data of each group being learned by the imitation model corresponding to the group. The operation history data include data indicating a surrounding environment and data indicating an operation of an operator in the surrounding environment. The model selecting unit selects one imitation model from several imitation models based on a result of classifying data indicating a given surrounding environment by the automatic classification algorithm of the classification system.

  • Patent number: 11305427
    Abstract: A robot system includes a robot, an image acquisition part, an image prediction part, and an operation controller. The image acquisition part acquires a current image captured by a robot camera arranged to move with the end effector. The image prediction part predicts a next image to be captured by the robot camera based on a teaching image model and the current image. The teaching image model is constructed by a machine learning of teaching image which is predicted to capture by the robot camera while the movable part performs an adjustment operation. The operation controller calculates the command value for operating the movable part so that the image captured by the robot camera approaches the next image, and controls the movable part based on the command value.

  • Patent number: 11102826
    Abstract: An MME detects that a PDN connection is not effective and changes from a non-optimal gateway to a bearer established in a PDN connection using a more optimal gateway as an endpoint node. This configuration allows an already-established PDN connection to switch to a new PDN connection using the more optimal gateway, which achieves optimal communication control for continuing communication of UE.

  • Patent number: 10967943
    Abstract: An underwater mobile inspection apparatus capable of inspecting an inspection object on a seafloor while cruising includes a cruising body configured to submerge under-water and cruise along the inspection object so as to not come into contact with the inspection object, a first movable arm provided on the cruising-body, and an inspection tool unit provided on the first movable arm and including at least one of an image-capturing camera for use in visually inspecting the inspection object and a device configured to inspect a wall thickness of the inspection object by using an ultrasonic wave. A controller is configured to, when the cruising-body cruises along the inspection object so as to not come into contact with the inspection object, operate the first movable arm to move the inspection tool unit, such that a positional relationship of the inspection tool unit with the inspection object becomes a predetermined target positional relationship.

  • Patent number: 10972946
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) transmits a packet data network (PDN) connectivity request message to a mobility management entity (MME), receives a PDN connectivity accept message, and establishes a PDN connection with a second local gateway (LGW) in accordance with the PDN connectivity accept message. Thus, it is possible to provide a communication system and the like for a purpose of implementing the optimal communication control for enabling the UE to continue communication by switching a previously established PDN connection to a new PDN connection using a more optimal gateway.
