A computer readable medium causing a computer to planning of a trajectory for an object that is capable of controlled movement in one or more degrees of freedom. At least one ordered sequence of movement profiles is obtained. The at least one ordered sequence includes: (i) movement profiles that end with a phase of increasing acceleration and (ii) movement profiles that end with a phase of decreasing acceleration. The ordered sequence is evaluated to select a movement profile capable of achieving a desired state of movement. The trajectory of the object is planned based on the selected movement profile.

A robot control device includes manual pulse generation units that generate pulses having a pulse number depending on an operation amount of an operator, command signal calculation units that calculate an operation command signal to a robot based on a pulse number to be input, and a pulse number limiting unit that limits, to a threshold, the pulse number to be input into the command signal calculation units, in a case or cases where the pulse number generated by the manual pulse generation units is larger than the predetermined threshold, where, in a case or cases where the pulse number generated by the manual pulse generation units is equal to or less than the threshold, the pulse number is output as it is.

In a robotic surgical system, a control device is configured or programmed to perform first scaling on at least a rotational component in a received operation amount, and calculate a rotation angle of a joint axis of a robot arm by performing an inverse kinematics calculation on a translational component and the rotational component after the first scaling is performed.

One or more force control parameters used in force control is adjusted. A robot system includes a robot, a force detector configured to measure an external force exerted on the robot, and a control section that causes the robot to perform an action through feedback control. A measured force value that is a measured value of the external force is produced by causing the robot to perform an action using one or more second servo gains corresponding to one or more first servo gains used when the robot system is caused to perform an actual task, the second servo gains each having a value greater than the value of the corresponding first servo gain, and further using a candidate value of the force control parameters. A new candidate value of the force control parameters is produced by carrying out an optimization process on the force control parameters by using the measured force value. A parameter determination step of determining the force control parameters by repeating a measurement step and a parameter update step is provided.

A system for moving items in a facility may be described herein. The system may instruct components of the system to move the items at different speeds or velocities based on an item's fragility rating. A fragility rating may indicate an amount of force that an item withstands prior to damaging the item. A fragility rating for an item may be determined based on known fragility ratings of items with similar item metrics.
