The present invention reduces the possibility that a connector for charging cannot be appropriately inserted into a power feeding port of an electric automobile. The information processing device identifies a position of a power feeding port provided in an electric automobile and controls an arm portion, on the basis of a result of identification, so as to move a connector to a position facing the power feeding port. The information processing device controls the arm portion so as to insert the connector into the power feeding port. At this time, the information processing device controls the arm portion, on the basis of a value detected by a force sensor, so that a force along a direction other than an insertion direction in which the connector is inserted and/or a torque have/has a magnitude not greater than a threshold.

A drive system includes an engine as a drive source, a lead storage battery that is charged using the engine as a motive power source, a starter that starts up the engine by being driven by electric power from the lead storage battery, and a battery sensor that measures an inter-terminal voltage of the lead storage battery. A control device that is applied to the drive system temporarily stops the engine when a temporary stop condition is satisfied, and starts up the engine again when a discharge amount of the lead storage battery in a period of the temporary stop is larger than a discharge upper limit amount. When an inrush voltage is equal to or lower than a restraint threshold, the discharge upper limit amount is set so as to be smaller than when the inrush voltage is higher than the restraint threshold.

In a relay unit, a sensor-side communication controller acquires setting information from a synchronization line and stores the acquired setting information in a storage unit in response to reception of a backup instruction from a communication master by a master-side communication controller. The sensor-side communication controller outputs the setting information stored in the storage unit to the synchronization line via a branch line in response to reception of a restoration instruction from the communication master by the master-side communication controller. The sensor-side communication controller periodically or aperiodically compares the setting information transmitted through the synchronization line with the setting information of the storage unit so as to detect presence or absence of a difference. The master-side communication controller outputs a notification signal to the communication master in response to detection of the difference.

In an electric motor, a magnetic bearing generates an electromagnetic force between multiple permanent magnets and a coil and rotatably supports an other side of a rotation shaft in an axis line direction. The rotation shaft is configured to be capable of being inclined with a rotation center line using a bearing side of the rotation shaft as a fulcrum. An electronic control device controls a current that flows to the coil such that an axis line of the rotation shaft approaches the rotation center line due to a supporting force which is the electromagnetic force between the multiple permanent magnets and the coil. Accordingly, the rotation shaft is rotatably supported to be freely rotatable by a magnetic bearing and the bearing.
