Motor control device controls motor that moves load to a target position. Motor control device includes prediction part, correction command generator, corrector, and controller. Prediction part acquires one or more target position deviations and a target settling time, and calculates a predicted target position deviation indicating a difference between a position of load and the target position at the target settling time based on the one or more target position deviations and the target settling time. When the predicted target position deviation indicates that load does not reach within a predetermined range from the target position, correction command generator generates a correction command for correcting a position command based on the predicted target position deviation. Corrector acquires the position command, corrects the position command based on the correction command, and generates a corrected position command Controller controls motor based on the corrected position command and a position of motor.

The camera photographs a visual field of the user. The controller acquires an image captured by the camera, recognizes, through image recognition processing, a package that is a work target of the user and a hand of the user from the acquired image, determines whether or not the user is in a state of being about to carry a package based on a positional relationship between the recognized package and the recognized hand, and recognizes, through image recognition processing, a package ID from the acquired image in a case where it is determined that the user is in a state of being about to carry the package. The communication part receives delivery information regarding the package corresponding to the package ID from a delivery management server. The controller generates, based on the delivery information, alert information to be presented to the user, and outputs the generated alert information.

A motor control system includes a control unit and a compensator. The control unit controls an operation of a shaft of a motor in accordance with an operation command for the motor. The compensator calculates compensation information based on an other-shaft information about an operation of another shaft of another motor different from the motor. The compensation information is information for compensating an influence of the operation of the other shaft upon the shaft. The control unit controls the operation of the shaft using the compensation information calculated by the compensator.
