  • Publication number: 20240338172
    Abstract: An image capture apparatus comprises a detection unit that detects a radio signal, an extraction unit that extracts feature information of a subject from image data, a selection unit that selects a sound reception device that receives sound data from at least one sound transmission device from which the radio signal can be received, and a reception unit that receives, by a wireless communication unit, sound data from the selected sound transmission device selected by the selection unit. Based on a result of comparing feature information of a subject as a shooting target with comparison information for selecting the sound transmission device, the selection unit selects the sound transmission device that transmits sound data corresponding to the subject as the shooting target from at least one sound transmission device from which the radio signal can be received.

  • Patent number: 12090670
    Abstract: A transfer robot includes one arm, another arm, a motor, and a brake. The another arm is connected to the one arm via a shaft such that the another arm is rotatable relatively with respect to the one arm around a shaft axis of the shaft. The motor includes a rotor rotatable around the shaft axis to rotate the another arm around the shaft axis, and a stator connected to the one arm. The brake is provided at the another arm to apply a force to the stator so as to suppress relative rotation between the stator and the rotor when electric power is not supplied to the motor.
