Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied bythe inventors: ““The present disclosure relates to a control method fora robot arm.“There is a demand to have a robot arm perform work instead of humans in low-temperature environmentssuch as a frozen food production lines, which are relatively harsh environments for humans to workin. JP-A-08-019978 describes technology for a robot arm used in low-temperature environments. In thetechnology described in JP-A-08-019978, it is described that if the temperature of joints of the robot armdrops to near the lower limit of an allowable operation temperature during the operation of robot arm, thejoints are heated by a heater.
