Publication number: 20200378927Abstract: The present invention makes it possible for sounding of an inspection location on an outer wall of a building or the like to be performed using a simple operation. A user interface device accepts an input for designating an inspection location. The mobile robot device flies autonomously and moves to the inspection location, on the basis of the input into the user interface device and the current location of the mobile robot device. The mobile robot device inspects the inspection location using an inspection means such as a sounding means.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2017Publication date: December 3, 2020Applicant: NEC CorporationInventors: Toshihiro NISHIZAWA, Toshiaki YAMASHITA, Namiki HASHIMOTO, Hideo ADACHI, Hiroshi MUROFUSHI, Motoaki SHIMIZU, Akira KOYASHIKI, Kenzo NONAMI, Daisuke IWAKURA, Tytus WOJTARA, Kohji INAGAKI, Naotaka SHIKIDA, Satoshi AOKI

Patent number: 9278766Abstract: A trajectory generation device includes a control target (1), an angle detector (2), a command generator (5) and a trajectory generator (6). If a change is generated from a current target angle to a new target angle or if a change is generated from the current target angular velocity to a new target angular velocity in the command generator (5), a changed trajectory is regenerated by the trajectory generator (6) based on the angle up to the new target angle or the angular velocity up to the new target angular velocity, on the basis of the output angular velocity generated by the trajectory generator (6) at the point the change has occurred and on the basis of a current angle at the point the change has occurred or an output angle generated by the trajectory generator (6) at the point the change has occurred.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2013Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventor: Motoaki Shimizu

Publication number: 20150205273Abstract: A cooperative control device is provided in which position information on a node (1) of the device and a facing node (2) are acquired by a device node position information acquisition unit (8) and a facing node position information acquisition unit (14). The position information is used to calculate a position-information-based target angle of a first orientation means (3) by a position-information-based orientation angle generator (15). The position-information-based target angle is converted, by applying kinematics, to a kinematics-used target angle of the first orientation means by the converter (16). Subsequently, the position-information-based target angle of the first orientation means (3) is subtracted from the kinematics-used target angle to obtain a target error angle, and the target error angle is then integrated by an integrator (17).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2013Publication date: July 23, 2015Applicant: NEC CorporationInventor: Motoaki Shimizu

Publication number: 20100214400Abstract: A terminal, information generating servers and a positional information server are provided. The information generating servers are installed in respectively corresponding to a plurality of objects. Each object may be divided into small blocks as one or more spatial regions and a case is included in which the block is the small block. One or more image acquisition cameras are provided which acquire an internal image of each object or an external image in which surroundings of each object are seen from the object. A display image to be transmitted to the terminal is generated from the internal image or the external image of each object based on at least one of terminal positional information indicating a position of the terminal and terminal directional information indicating a direction of the terminal. While pointing a to-be-identified target object among the objects, the terminal detects, detects the terminal positional information and the terminal directional information.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2008Publication date: August 26, 2010Inventors: Motoaki Shimizu, Hitoshi Imaoka, Keiichi Chono, Fumihiro Adachi, Satoshi Nakazawa, Shin Ishiguro, Masayuki Yuguchi

Publication number: 20030179665Abstract: A tilt compensator in an optical disk drive detects an optimum tilt setting of the objective lens with respect to a reference plane of the optical head, which allows the optical head to obtain an optimum characteristic of a disk signal at a specified radial position of an optical disk. The optimum tilt setting is corrected at a desired track of the optical disk by using a difference between a first tilt angle of the reference plane with respect to the optical disk measured at the specified radial position and a second tilt angle of the reference plane measured at a desire track of the optical disk. The disk signal is a RF signal, a jitter of the encoded RF signal, a tracking error signal or a wobble signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2003Publication date: September 25, 2003Applicant: NEC CorporationInventors: Naotoshi Iwazawa, Yutaka Yamanaka, Satoshi Sugaya, Motoaki Shimizu
