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 control device is provided with a display unit for displaying a three-dimensional image of a jog coordinate system and a robot, and an input unit including keys corresponding to coordinate axes of the jog coordinate system.

When the operator pushes the key, a manual control unit changes the position and orientation of the robot based on the direction of the jog coordinate system with respect to the robot in the image.

Abstract: A controller includes a stop command unit for stopping the motion of the robot when a person comes into contact with the robot, and a speed limiting unit for limiting the operation speed of the component driven on the drive axis. A variable calculated from the position of the component on the drive axis and the range of the variable in a state where the person is caught by the robot are determined in advance. The speed limiting unit acquires the variable from the output of a position detector and controls the operation speed of the component to a predetermined speed limit or lower if the variable is within the range.
