Communication management system, communication system, communication management device, image processing method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium

There is provided an information processing apparatus that includes a motion request verifying unit controlling execution of a motion request for a device, on the basis of the motion request based on device side information including device state information indicating a state of the device at a first point in time and target state information indicating a state of an operated target, and device side information updated during time after the first point in time and before a second point in time at which the motion request is received.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

[Problem to be Solved] There are provided a control apparatus, a control method, and a master-slave system. [Solution] A control apparatus includes: a detector that detects whether or not a master apparatus used for an operation of a slave apparatus is located at a movable range limit; and a controller that controls, on the basis of a detection result, a slave parameter related to control of the slave apparatus and an image parameter related to an image displayed on the basis of imaging.

Control apparatus, control method, and master-slave system

Provided is a medical support arm system including a support arm that is a multilink structure having a plurality of links connected by a joint unit including an actuator, and supports a medical unit. The medical support arm system further includes a control device including an external force estimation unit to estimate an external force acting on the joint unit on the basis of a drive characteristic of the actuator, and a joint control unit to control drive of the joint unit on the basis of an external torque estimated by the external force estimation unit.

Medical support arm system, medical support arm control method, and medical support arm control device

To make it possible to improve user convenience, provided is a control device including: a control unit configured to control a position and an attitude of a microscope unit by driving an arm unit that supports the microscope unit on the basis of a captured image of an operating site photographed by the microscope unit during an operation so that a position and attitude condition set before the operation is satisfied. The position and attitude condition is a condition that prescribes a position and an attitude of the microscope unit with respect to the operating site to obtain a desired captured image corresponding to the position and attitude condition.

Control device, control method, and microscope device for operation

A communication management apparatus includes a memory and circuitry. The memory stores a hierarchical data structure in which each page of a plurality of pages forming a display screen shared by a plurality of communication terminals is associated with one or more objects included in the each page. The circuitry receives, from one communication terminal of the plurality of communication terminals, an operation request that requests an operation on a particular object of the one or more objects. When editing of the particular object and editing of data in a lower layer associated with a higher layer of the particular object are both allowed, the circuitry transmits a success notification to the one communication terminal to notify success of the operation on the particular object.
