Abstract: A robot control device comprises a mass parameter setting unit which sets a mass parameter, and a stop command unit which sends a stop command of a robot. A first upper limit value regarding external force and a second upper limit value smaller than the first upper limit value have been set. The stop command unit stops the robot when estimated external force exceeds the first upper limit value. Furthermore, the stop command unit makes the robot to be in a stop state when an average value of the external force exceeds the second upper limit value.

Abstract: A video encoding device (2) includes a side information determination section (21) and a side information encoding section (22). The side information determination section (21) sets a quantization parameter for each macroblock in such a manner that a difference between quantization parameters for each pair of macroblocks with successive encoding orders is equal to one of n difference values, and transforms the difference into one of n indices with respect to each pair. The side information encoding section (22) generates a binary sequence having a length corresponding to the size of the absolute value of the index. The total of absolute values of the n indices is smaller than the total of absolute values of the n difference values.

Abstract: A robot controller for ensuring safety of an operator, which is capable of reducing operational cost by avoiding unnecessary emergency stop of a robot. A teaching pendant has an emergency stop button for interrupting drive power for the robot, and a main body of the controller has a signal part which receives an emergency stop signal from the teaching pendant when the emergency stop button is pushed, and a power interrupting part which interrupts the drive power for the robot when the signal part receives the emergency stop signal under a predetermined condition. Until a first predetermined period of time has passed after a connection/disconnection switch is operated, the power interrupting part does not interrupt the drive power when a connection-recognition signal representing that the teaching pendant is connected to the main body is not generated, even when the emergency stop signal is input from the teaching pendant.
