The first arc determination unit performs primary determination of the occurrence of an arc on the basis of the result of the detection performed by the detection unit. When it is determined, in the primary determination performed by the first arc determination unit, that an arc has occurred, the suppression control unit reduces the current flowing through the power line or the voltage of the power line. In a state in which the current flowing through the power line or the voltage of the power line is reduced in response to the primary determination performed by the first arc determination unit, the second arc determination unit determines whether a current is flowing through the power line, and thereby performs secondary determination of the occurrence of an arc.

Abstract

This electric power cutoff device comprises a main relay and a drive circuit. The main relay is a latching relay that can be switched between an ON state and an OFF state. In the ON state, the main relay connects a solar panel to a cable. In the OFF state, the main relay disconnects the solar panel from the cable. The main relay is set to the ON state in a normal power generation state in which the solar panel is generating power and a current is flowing through the cable. The main relay is kept in the ON state even in a non-power generation state in which the solar panel is not generating power. The drive circuit switches the main relay to the OFF state by a power generation voltage of the solar panel in an abnormal power generation state in which the solar panel is generating power and the cable is disconnected.

The trigger position detection unit (18) detects the position of the trigger (10a). When the detection unit (16aa) detects movement of the brush (15d), the control unit (19) transitions to a start-up state, and when the trigger position detection unit (18) detects that the trigger (10a) has returned to an initial position after the push operation, the control unit maintains the start-up state for a prescribed time if the operation amount detected by the sensor unit (15e) was at least a prescribed threshold value, and transitions from the start-up state to a stop state if the operation amount of the push operation was less than the prescribed threshold value.

Abstract

This control device acquires first information that represents an observed state of a real robot, which is a flexible robot, when the real robot performs a task involving contact. The control device acquires second information by inputting the first information to a first trained model which, upon input of the first information, outputs the second information that is not observed in the real space. The control device determines action information of the real robot by using a second trained model for determining an action of the real robot, the acquired first information, and the acquired second information. The control device controls the real robot such that the action represented by the determined action information is performed.

Abstract

This control device generates a plurality of first trajectory candidates that are candidates for the planned trajectory of a mobile robot. The control device generates, for each of the plurality of first trajectory candidates, a stop trajectory, which is a trajectory having, as a starting point, the position of the mobile robot on the first trajectory candidate at two or more future times, and which is a trajectory when the mobile robot is to be stopped. For each of the plurality of first trajectory candidates, the control device sets the first trajectory candidate as a second trajectory candidate if at least one stop trajectory among the stop trajectories at the two or more future times indicates that same does not enter a prescribed region. The control device selects a planned trajectory of the mobile robot from a plurality of second trajectory candidates. The control device performs control so as to move the mobile robot along the selected planned trajectory.

Abstract

A power conditioner system includes: a power conditioner that converts DC power output from a string into AC power; and an arc detection device that detects generation of an arc in an electric path connecting the string and the power conditioner. The arc detection device includes a current sensor, an arc determination unit, a recording unit, and a communication unit. The current sensor detects a current flowing through the electric path. The arc determination unit outputs a first control signal for switching an opening/closing device from the closed state to the open state when it is determined that the arc has been generated. The recording unit records the data used by the arc determination unit to determine the generation of the arc. The communication unit transmits the determination result and the determination data of the arc determination unit when the arc determination unit determines that the arc has been generated.
