CONTROL APPARATUS FOR VIBRATION ACTUATOR, AND VIBRATION DRIVING APPARATUS, INTERCHANGEABLE LENS, IMAGING APPARATUS, AND AUTOMATIC STAGE INCLUDING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18153897 titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS FOR VIBRATION ACTUATOR, AND VIBRATION DRIVING APPARATUS, INTERCHANGEABLE LENS, IMAGING APPARATUS, AND AUTOMATIC STAGE INCLUDING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a control apparatus for a vibration actuator that can move a contact body in contact with a vibrator using the vibrations generated by the vibrator. The control apparatus includes a control amount output unit that utilizes a trained model to output a control amount for moving the contact body at a specified speed.

  • The control apparatus is designed to move a contact body in contact with a vibrator using the vibrations produced by the vibrator.
  • The control amount output unit includes a trained model that is capable of generating a control amount based on an instruction for a specific speed of movement.
  • The trained model is trained to output a control amount that will result in the desired relative movement between the contact body and the vibrator.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This control apparatus can be used in various devices that require precise and controlled movement, such as robotic arms or haptic feedback systems.
  • It can be utilized in virtual reality or augmented reality systems to provide realistic tactile feedback to users.
  • The technology can be integrated into medical devices for precise and controlled movements during surgical procedures.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The control apparatus solves the problem of accurately controlling the movement of a contact body in contact with a vibrator.
  • It eliminates the need for manual adjustments or trial-and-error methods to achieve the desired movement.
  • The trained model ensures consistent and precise control of the relative movement between the contact body and the vibrator.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The control apparatus allows for precise and controlled movement, enabling more accurate and efficient operations in various applications.
  • It reduces the need for manual adjustments, saving time and effort.
  • The trained model ensures consistent and reliable control, leading to improved performance and user experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

A control apparatus for a vibration actuator configured to relatively move a contact body in contact with a vibrator with respect to the vibrator using vibration occurring on the vibrator includes a control amount output unit including a trained model trained to, if an instruction about a first speed to relatively move the contact body with respect to the vibrator at is issued, output a first control amount to relatively move the contact body with respect to the vibrator.
