Publication number: 20240117984Abstract: Provided is an air conditioner including an indoor unit provided with a microphone element for receiving voice instructions, such that a voice instruction spoken by an operator is acquired with high quality and control based on the voice instruction spoken by the operator is likely to be ensured. The air conditioner includes an indoor unit, a transmission unit, and a reception unit. The indoor unit has a main body and a microphone element. The main body has formed therein a blow-out port through which air-conditioned air is blown out toward a space to be air-conditioned. The microphone element accepts a voice instruction captured from a voice capturing portion arranged at a position that deviates from a ventilation space through which the air blown out from the blow-out port flows, in such a manner as to face the space to be air-conditioned. The transmission unit transmits the voice instruction accepted by the microphone element to an outside as a signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Kousuke TSUBOI, Takao SONODA, Makoto IKEDA, Tetsushi TSUDA, Yu OTA, Yuuichi KITA, Kenji AMANO, Atsushi MATSUBARA, Tomomi KUKITA, Naoko KURIYAMA, Tomoyoshi ASHIKAGA, Gen KUMAMOTO

Patent number: 11073823Abstract: A robot including a movable portion, a controller, and a storage unit that stores maintenance timing information regarding at least one of the movable portion and the controller. The controller performs predetermined notification processing based on a comparison between elapsed time information and the maintenance timing information. The movable portion and the control apparatus are placed in a predetermined work site on which a second robot is installed. The controller corrects the maintenance timing information or the elapsed time information using information received from the second robot.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2019Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: FANUC CORPORATIONInventors: Yu Ikeda, Soichi Arita

Publication number: 20160121484Abstract: A control device includes an estimated torque calculation unit, an actual torque calculation unit, a torque comparison unit, and a stop unit. The estimated torque calculation unit calculates an estimated torque for maintaining the posture of an automatic machine based on preset load information when the machine is in a resting state in which its posture is maintained by a torque applied by a servomotor. The actual torque calculation unit calculates an actual torque actually applied to maintain the posture. The torque comparison unit compares an error between the estimated and actual torques with a predetermined first threshold. The stop unit stops subsequent operations of the automatic machine when the error is greater than the first threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2015Publication date: May 5, 2016Inventors: Yu IKEDA, Hiromitsu TAKAHASHI, Soichi ARITA
