This control device acquires a pair of sets of data, namely: first data representing movement history of a training subject from a first start point to an end point; and second data representing movement history of the training subject from a second start point to the end point. By adding, to a first loss function used when executing reinforcement learning, a second loss function representing the difference between an output value when the first data is inputted to a trained model and an output value when the second data is inputted to the trained model, the control device 14 sets an overall loss function for generating the trained model. On the basis of the acquired pair, the control device performs reinforcement learning on the trained model such that the output value of the overall loss function decreases, thereby generating a trained model for outputting movement data representing displacement of the position of a subject when position data for the subject is inputted.

Abstract

A processing device includes a highly reflective object detector, an attention area definer, and an information displaying unit. The highly reflective object detector determines whether a highly reflective object with a reflection intensity higher than a predetermined reference is located within a measurement area of the sensor based on measurement data. The attention area definer defines, when the highly reflective object is detected, an attention area between the highly reflective object and the sensor. The attention area is an area with a likelihood of being affected by the highly reflective object to cause the sensor to have lower measurement accuracy. The information displaying unit causes the attention area to be superimposed on a range image displayed on a display.

Abstract

A trigger switch TS includes a trigger 1 receiving a press through an operation of an operator to be movable to a deepest position in a press direction. The trigger includes: a base shaft member 11, to which a trigger cap 10 is removably attached; and a limiting member 14, supported by the base shaft member to be operable, and able to limit a movement of the trigger. In the trigger where the trigger cap 10 is attached to the base shaft member, if a first press is received, the movement is limited at a limited position not arriving at the deepest position through the limiting member in a limited state. With removal of the received first press, the limiting member transitions to from the limited state to an unlimited state and, if a second press is received following the removal, it is possible to move to the deepest position.
