A positional deviation integral torque obtained by integrating a value corresponding to a positional deviation is applied to joints while being superimposed with torques based on angular deviations. If movements of the joints stop or are about to stop before the end effector reaches a target position due to an error in a kinematic operation, the positional deviation integral torque increases with time, to move said joints and move the end effector to the target position. Thus, the end effector can be reliably moved to the target position by the positional deviation integral torque, and calibration loads can be reduced. | 2015-06-11 |

With this lightweight battery powered Drive and Control Mechanism incorporated into a gripping/reaching tool an operator only needs to touch a button for opening or closing the tool and it has an inherent ability to hold items in its grip without the operator having to hold it closed. This design allows it to be used by persons that would not have the ability to operate a gripper/reaching tool otherwise. | 2015-06-11 |
