A torque sensor () includes a sensor unit (), a resilient body (), and a detection unit (). The sensor unit () detects, from an output unit that is a rotational body of an actuator, a rotational position in an annular first area positioned at a first distance from a rotation center, and a rotational position in an annular second area positioned at a second distance longer than the first distance from the rotation center. The resilient body () is provided between the first area and the second area. The detection unit () detects a torque applied to the output unit, on the basis of a result of the detection by the sensor unit ().

Torque sensor

Provided is an information processing device that includes an acquisition unit that acquires characteristic information of an obstructer that is at least one of a person or an animal that obstructs an operation of a designated device designated in advance, and a generation unit that generates distraction-related information regarding a distraction device for distracting the obstructer and a distraction content of the distraction device according to the characteristic information, the distraction device being different from the designated device.

Information processing device, information processing method, and information processing system

There is provided a robot capable of reducing vibration generated in an arm portion performing work. The robot includes: a first arm portion connected to a body portion and configured to perform work; and a second arm portion connected to the body portion and to be controlled to support the first arm portion, in which the first arm portion includes a first connecting portion connected to the body portion, a first end effector located at an end of the first arm portion opposite to an end where the first connecting portion is located, and a support target portion located between the first connecting portion and the first end effector, and the second arm portion is controlled to support the support target portion.

Robot having reduced vibration generation in in arm portion

[Object] To provide a torque sensor and power control actuator that are reduced in size and are capable of detecting torque with high accuracy. [Solution] The torque sensor includes: a first rotating body capable of making axial rotation about an input axis; a second rotating body capable of making axial rotation about an output axis; a strain generation part provided between the first rotating body and the second rotating body, having a first surface facing one side in a first direction parallel to the input axis and a second surface facing the other side in the first direction, and configured to transfer rotation torque while generating a strain between the first rotating body and the second rotating body; and a plurality of strain detection parts provided on the first surface and the second surface, respectively, to detect a strain of the strain generation part.

Torque sensor and power control actuator

An actuator capable of realizing a high output with a compact size is proposed. An actuator provided with a motor including a cylindrical rotor, and a reducer including an input shaft coaxial with a rotational shaft of the motor and nested in the rotor. The reducer has a cylindrical shape, the reducer further includes an output shaft coaxial with the rotational shaft of the motor, the motor further includes a stator, and the actuator is further provided with a casing which supports the reducer and the stator.

Actuator

The present invention aims to make it capable of holding organs more safely. Provided is a medical support arm apparatus, including: an arm unit () whose driving is controlled by force control; and a retractor, provided on a front end of the arm unit (), that holds an organ of a patient during surgery.

Medical support arm apparatus

A first antenna () is disposed closer to a rear touch panel () than to a display panel () in the front-rear direction of a housing (). The first antenna () is disposed so as to be offset with respect to the rear touch panel () in a direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction of the housing () so that at least a part of the first antenna () does not overlap the rear touch panel () in the front-rear direction of the housing (). With such a structure, the display panel and touch panel are provided at the front surface and rear surface, respectively, and good reception sensitivity can be obtained.

Portable type electronic device, portable type electronic device group, and method of manufacturing portable type electronic device

An operation member and an electronic device capable of maintaining operability while enhancing cushioning properties provided in the outer surface of an operation member are provided. An operation stick has a cushion portion and a base portion on which the cushion portion is placed. The base portion is supported to be movable. The base portion has a frame portion surrounding the outer periphery of the cushion portion. The base portion and the frame portion are formed of a material having a higher rigidity than that of the material of the cushion portion.

Operation member provided in electronic device, and electronic device

An electronic device includes a front panel made of resin. The front panel is disposed on the front side of an organic electroluminescent display panel and functions as the front surface of the electronic device; and an adhesive agent layer formed between the organic electroluminescent display panel and the front panel. The organic electroluminescent display panel is fixed to the front panel via the adhesive agent layer. This structure is able to reduce a load applied to the organic electroluminescent display panel and ensure shock resistance for the organic electroluminescent display panel.
