Abstract: Provided is a technique with which a batter who is practicing batting with a tee can acknowledge how the batter should change his/her hitting posture. An information processing device includes a processor that executes: (a) continuously measuring, according to either or both of output signals from a motion sensor and a force plate, a posture of a batter who is practicing batting with a tee; (b) determining, according to an output signal from a force sensor internally stored in the tee, a timing at which the batter hits a ball placed at the tee; (c) determining, as a hitting posture of the batter, a posture of the batter at the determined timing; and (d) outputting a message instructing the batter to change the batter's hitting posture, according to information indicating an exemplary hitting posture and information indicating the determined batter's hitting posture.

Abstract: A robot hand includes a plurality of fingers, a first electromagnet, a second electromagnet, and a movable part configured to be movable between the first electromagnet and the second electromagnet. Each of the plurality of fingers includes a gripping part configured to grip an object, a cam follower configured to rotate around a rotating shaft in accordance with movement of the movable part.

Abstract: Realized is a technology which allows more various operations with respect to an operation target. An operation device includes: at least one six-axis force-moment sensor; and a button. The at least one six-axis force-moment sensor can detect a force in a direction of a first axis which intersects a first main surface of a housing, a moment about the first axis, a force in a direction of a second axis which is along the first main surface, a moment about the second axis, a force in a direction of a third axis which is along the first main surface and which intersects the second axis, and a moment about the third axis. The button can detect at least the force in the direction of the first axis and the moments about the second and third axes, and is provided to the first main surface.

Abstract: Provided is a force sensor module which is configured to be disposed between a claw part of a robot hand and a drive section configured to drive the claw part and which includes: a force sensor; a first connection part configured to directly or indirectly connect the force sensor and the drive section; and a second connection part configured to directly or indirectly connect the force sensor and the claw part, the first connection part being connected with a fixing part of the force sensor, the second connection part being connected with a force receiver of the force sensor.

Abstract: Provided is a robot hand including: a plurality of claw members configured to grip a gripping target member; a support member that holds one end portions of the respective claw members such that the claw members are swingable; an actuator configured to drive the claw members; and a plurality of sensors attached to the respective claw members, each of the sensors being configured to sense an amount of deformation of a corresponding one of the claw members to which the sensors are attached, when the claw members grip the gripping target member.

Abstract: An improvement in reliability of manufacture of an assembly including a tap is achieved. A control section of a manufacturing system for manufacturing an assembly including a tap causes a robot to perform: a step of producing a first assembly by gripping a cap having an opening and engaging the cap with a collet having a recess such that the cap is placed on the collet; a step of producing a second assembly by gripping the first assembly and inserting the first assembly into a recess of a tap holder; and a step of producing a third assembly, which is an assembly including a tap, by gripping the tap and inserting the tap through the opening of the cap of the second assembly into the recess of the collet.

Abstract: A reduction of a bend of a drill during processing is achieved. A drilling device includes: a spindle for rotating a drill so that the drill processes an object; a parallel link mechanism configured to adjust a direction of the spindle; a force sensor configured to detect a moment from the object and about an axis perpendicular to an axial direction of the spindle while the object is processed; and a control section configured to control the parallel link mechanism on the basis of the moment detected by the force sensor so that the parallel link mechanism adjusts a direction of the spindle.
