Abstract
A location-force target path creator creates a smooth target path function from target values among values of location, position, force and moment given for a force control system. The target values are set as nodes together with times for which the target values are applied. The nodes are projected onto a time axis having a time region which is divided into a series of time regions. A target path function is calculated for an element motion by applying a boundary condition to each of the time regions.

A location-force target path creator for creating a smooth target path function from a plurality of target values given for a force control system having a plurality of degrees of control freedom, the location-force target path creator comprising:
- node setting means for setting, as nodes, the target values for the force control system together with times for which the target values are applied, the target values comprising values of location, position, force and moment;
- time region dividing means for projecting the nodes onto a time axis having a time region and for dividing the time region into a plurality of time regions;
- and
- element motion calculating means for calculating a target path function for an element motion by applying a boundary condition to each of the plurality of time regions.
A target path creating device comprising:
- determining means for determining target values among values of location, position, force and moment for a force control system;
- node setting means for setting the target values as nodes;
- projecting means for projecting the nodes onto a time axis having a time region and for dividing the time region into a plurality of time regions;
