Abstract: A robot hand controlling method executes calculating a position and changing grip force when the grip force for gripping a work W is to be changed in a state that fingers are gripping the work W with first grip force. In the calculating the position, the hand controlling unit uses a correlation value indicating a relationship between the grip force of the fingers and position of fixing portions, the first grip force, and second grip force that is a target value of the grip force to calculate the position of the fixing portions in gripping the work W with the second grip force. In the changing the grip force, the hand controlling unit drives a motor by calculating a driving quantity of the motor necessary for moving the fingers to the calculated position of the fixing portions.

Abstract: There is provided a switching power source capable of quickly responding to a change in output at high efficiency over a wide output voltage range. The power source includes an integrator, a comparator which compares an output from the integrator with a quantization reference value, and a sampling circuit which samples an output from the comparator in synchronism with a clock signal.

In the switching power source, a resistance value adjustment circuit changes the hysteresis width of the quantization reference value by changing the resistance value of the variable resistor of the comparator on the basis of a signal output from a detection circuit which detects at least one of an external control signal and the output voltage and load current of the switching power source.
