    Abstract: A master-slave device grips an object and performs a task while being in contact with a to-be-treated object. A force detection unit measures force information given to a slave mechanism. A force correction determination unit determines a force correction part serving as information from correction start to end times of force information transmitted to a master mechanism and, as a correcting method to perform correction, a first method determining a gain such that a reduction in absolute value of force information at the force correction part is maintained for a predetermined period of time or a second method determining a gain such that a reduction and an increase in the absolute value are repeated within a range that is not more than a value by reducing the absolute value. A force correction unit corrects information of a type of a force based on the force correction part and the gain.

    Abstract: A walking assistance apparatus includes a knee fastener, a heel fastener, a first wire and a second wire connected to the knee fastener and the heel fastener, a first motor connected to the first wire, a second motor connected to the second wire, and a control circuit that controls the first motor and the second motor. The first wire is connected to a first position included in a right-half region of the heel fastener. The second wire is connected to a second position included in a left-half region of the heel fastener. The control circuit acquires gait information of the user, and, based on the gait information, the control circuit controls the first motor to reduce a length of the first wire and the second motor to reduce a length of the second wire at a predetermined timing.

    Abstract: A pulse wave measuring apparatus includes a visible light receiver having a first surface and a pulse wave calculator. When a vehicle with the visible light receiver is viewed from a side, the first surface is in a first region between a first optical path of first reflection light and a second optical path of second reflection light, first light comes from an eye of a user on a seat of the vehicle, second light comes from a cheek of the user, an upper end of a rearview mirror of the vehicle reflects the first light to produce the first reflection light and reflects the second light to produce the second reflection light, and the pulse wave calculator calculates a pulse wave of the user on the basis of a waveform of visible light received by the visible light receiver via the first surface and outputs the calculated pulse wave.

    Abstract: Provided is a myoelectric potential measurement device that recognizes a user arm movement, including a bracelet having a plurality of electrodes, at least one memory, and a processor. The processor: uses the bracelet having the plurality of electrodes, which come into contact with the arm of the user, to measure a myoelectric potential at each of the plurality of electrodes; detects a measurement state when the each myoelectric potential is being measured; specifies at least one preferred electrode, which has a portion of the arm of the user positioned vertically thereunder, from among the plurality of electrodes in accordance with the measurement state, and weights the each myoelectric potential measured by the specified at least one preferred electrode, with respect to the each myoelectric potential measured by electrodes other than the preferred electrode from among the plurality of electrodes; and uses the weighted myoelectric potential to recognize the movement of the user, and outputs a recognition result.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an illumination device, a beam splitter, an imaging device, and an image forming circuit. The illumination device includes first emitters emitting first light polarized at 30°, second emitters emitting second light polarized at 90°, and third emitters emitting third light polarized at 150°, and illuminates a subject with the first, second, and/or third light. The beam splitter splits returning light and outputs a first component polarized at 0°, a second component polarized at 60°, and a third component polarized at 120°. The imaging device has an imaging surface that includes a first region receiving the first component, a second region receiving the second component, and a third region receiving the third component. The image forming circuit generates an image of the subject based on first, second, and third groups of images acquired when the subject is illuminated with the first, second, and third light.

    Abstract: Images are formed from first and second polarized images acquired through illumination of the subject with first illumination light beams, and third and fourth polarized images acquired through illumination of the subject with second illumination light beams. Images of a subject are formed from translated first, second, third, and fourth polarized images, acquired from first and second luminous point images. The first bright spots appear on the first polarized image when the first illumination light beams are mirror-reflected off the subject. The second bright spots appear on the fourth polarized image when the second illumination light beams are mirror-reflected off the subject. The image forming circuit forms images of the subject by calculating a difference between a first average image, obtained by averaging the translated first and fourth polarized images, and a second average image, obtained by averaging the translated second and third polarized images.
