  • Publication number: 20240112678
    Abstract: A voice dialogue system includes: a voice input unit which acquires a user utterance, a dialogue text creator which creates a text of a system utterance, a voice output unit which outputs the system utterance as voice data, and a setting unit that sets a response deadline for system utterances. When a first system utterance is output by the voice output unit, a second system utterance is output after the first system utterance without having acquired a user utterance, and the second system utterance comprises a connective portion for connecting following sentences and a content portion that is a subject of the second system utterance, the setting unit sets a timing at which output of the connective portion of the second system utterance ends or output of the content portion of the second system utterance starts as the response deadline for the first system utterance.

  • Publication number: 20240092418
    Abstract: A servo controller calculates a base assist command so that a steering torque follows a target steering torque. An estimated load torque calculation section calculates an estimated load torque based on a target steering torque and a base assist command. A target steering torque calculation section calculates a target steering torque using a map that defines a relationship between the estimated load torque and the target steering torque. The servo controller has a low-pass filter for removing high-frequency components of a predetermined frequency or higher in the input target steering torque at least in a differential control calculation, and calculates a differential control amount according to a steering torque deviation between the target steering torque after the low-pass filter and the steering torque.
