A robot control device executes assist control for generating an assist force in a direction of an external force applied to a robot in a case where a position of the robot is located in a first area set in a work area of the robot when the external force is applied to the robot. The robot control device stops the execution of the assist control in a case where the position of the robot is located in a second area set outside the work area of the robot. The robot control device restricts the execution of the assist control in a case where the position of the robot is located in a third area set outside the first area and inside the second area.

An ultrasonic diagnosis system includes a reaction force detection sensor that detects a reaction force acting on an ultrasonic probe when the ultrasonic probe is pressed against a body surface of a subject. Then, the ultrasonic diagnosis system estimates the push-in amount of the ultrasonic probe with respect to the subject by using the reaction force detection sensor during the ultrasonic diagnosis to output a display or a warning of the estimated push-in amount of the ultrasonic probe to the output device.

A reactive-species supply device is configured to supply a treatment gas to an electric discharge space, for thereby supplying at least a reactive species formed in a plasma, to an object. The reactive-species supply device includes (a) at least one pair of electrodes configured to form the electric discharge space and (b) an electrode protection device configured to protect the electrodes from the treatment gas. Also disclosed is a surface treatment apparatus that includes the reactive-species supply device.
