An ambulatory exercise machine which can easily carry out suitable ambulatory exercise in accordance with a condition of a trainee. A walking path surface is provided for the trainee and a drive drives the walking path surface. An assist arrangement is provided which includes support arms supporting the waist part of the trainee in front and at sides of the trainee and which enables a space between left and right arms to be adjusted. The assist arrangement includes a drive which drives the support arms. Further, the support arms enable attachment of a belt for holding the trainee so that the trainee is movable within a desired range.

Ambulatory exercise machine and ambulatory exercise system

A computer-implemented control method and a control apparatus of factory automation system having a cell formed by a plurality of working machines including at least one automated machine to execute a series of works in accordance with a control program. From a cell control program including specifications of working of entire cell that is input to the computer, information relating to working sequence of a plurality of working machines and information about control of inputs and outputs of a plurality of working machines are described, the specifications and informations are extracted by the computer. On the basis of the extracted information, a sequence control program by which control of the working sequence of a plurality of working machines and control of inputs and outputs of a plurality of working machines is generated by the computer are described. From the cell control program, information about operation control of the automated machine and information about synchronization of operation of the working machines are extracted by the computer. On the basis of the extracted information, an automated machine control program, by which processing for exercising control over positioning and operation trajectory of the automated machine are described, is generated by the computer. And working of the cell is controlled in accordance with the sequence control program and the automated machine control program.
