  • Publication number: 20240140448
    Abstract: An electronic control device 140 is mounted on an on-vehicle control system 10 that performs travel control of an automobile, and is communicatively connected to a plurality of control devices including a first control device (electronic control device 120) and a second control device (electronic control device 130). The electronic control device 140 includes an attack determination unit 145 that determines presence or absence of a security attack in each control device, and a redundant system execution determination unit 146 that determines whether to cause the second control device to execute a redundant function similar to or a part of the function performed by the first control device based on the result of determination by the attack determination unit 145.

  • Publication number: 20230294285
    Abstract: A robot apparatus includes: a door opening/closing robot and a controller. The door opening/closing robot includes a base, a first arm, a second arm, a third arm, and a fourth arm. The door opening/closing robot is disposed between a side surface of the vehicle body and a booth side wall. The controller sequentially performs a door opening control for controlling the door opening/closing robot such that a tool opens a door at an upstream side of a first axis in a direction of a conveyance line, a door following control for controlling the door opening/closing robot such that an opened state of the door is maintained while the vehicle body is being conveyed along the conveyance line, and a door closing control for controlling the door opening/closing robot such that the tool closes the door at a downstream side of the first axis in the direction of the conveyance line.
