  • Publication number: 20180162431
    Abstract: An omnidirectional cart including a cart part including a plurality of driving wheels, a body part attached to the cart part rotatably around a pivot axis, a command generation unit generates a speed command indicating a translational speed and a rotational speed of the body part at predetermined cycles, and a control unit searches for a predetermined number of the speed commands for maintaining a translational speed direction indicated by the speed command of a current step and calculates a speed command whose excess rate is a threshold or less or a speed command whose excess rate is minimum among the predetermined number of the speed commands, the excess rate indicating how much values of torque and angular speeds of wheel axes of the plurality of driving wheels and the pivot axis exceed limitation values when the omnidirectional cart operates in accordance with the speed command of the current step.

  • Publication number: 20150296667
    Abstract: Component parts are mounted on a top surface of a ceramic substrate having therein a ground line including a ground layer electrically connected to a grounding portion exposed on a bottom surface of the ceramic substrate. Then, the top surface of the ceramic substrate is coated with a mold resin layer. Half-cut is performed on the ceramic substrate from the surface of the mold resin layer to expose a portion of the ground line from a side surface of the ceramic substrate. A conductive shield film is so formed to cover the surface of the mold resin layer and the exposed portion of the ground line by the half-cut. A slit for dividing the ceramic substrate into individual electronic components is formed before the dividing the ceramic substrate. The ceramic substrate is divided into the individual electronic components by the slit.

  • Patent number: 8452424
    Abstract: In a case where a position command path for a control position of a load 5 that is equivalent to a moving object is set by issuing a position command Rc(z), a gain for one of a high-frequency component, a specified frequency, and a specified frequency width is constrained. This means that a resonant frequency can be constrained, and that after the position command Rc(z) arrives at a target position, a position detection signal Y(z) can also arrive at the target position in a set number of steps. It is therefore possible to perform positioning at high speed and with high precision by constraining a resonance mode of a mechanism that includes the moving object, and a feed-forward control can be performed that meets target positioning times that are set for various types of operating patterns.

  • Patent number: 7768225
    Abstract: A difference between each position command data outputted in a form of a step signal from a high-level controller and its corresponding detected position data of a movable body is integrated by an integral compensator to position the movable body. Assuming, for example, that the movable body is a steerable mirror, digital filters are arranged to compensate the value of an initial state of an angular displacement and the value of an initial state of an angular velocity, respectively, and respective impulse responses of the digital filters as additional input elements are added to an output terminal of the integral compensator. For higher effectiveness, internal state variables of the digital filters can desirably be cleared to zero whenever an angle (position) command data is received.
