Characteristic calculation device, characteristic calculation method, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium

A characteristic calculation method comprising:

• obtaining position information indicating a position of a motor as detected by a position detector, and acceleration information indicating an acceleration of a movable part connected to the motor as detected by an acceleration sensor attached to the movable part;
• and
• calculating and outputting at least one of balance information or detection sensitivity information, based on the position information and the acceleration information, the balance information indicating a degree of matching between a direction of an axis of detection by the acceleration sensor and a direction of acceleration to be detected by the acceleration sensor, the detection sensitivity information indicating a detection sensitivity of the acceleration sensor,
• wherein the sensor characteristic calculator calculates the at least one of the balance information or the detection sensitivity information, when an acceleration of the motor as calculated based on the position information does not change for a predetermined period or more.
