Abstract

A machine learning apparatus able to learn a point of connection of a ground wire or a shield wire optimal for reducing noise. It is a machine learning apparatus learning a point of connection of a ground wire or shield wire used in an electric motor apparatus provided with a status observing part and learning part. The status observing part observes a point of connection of a ground wire or shield wire and a feedback signal from an electric motor as status variables. The learning part learns a point of connection of a ground wire or a shield wire able to reduce noise included in the feedback signal in accordance with a training data set prepared based on the status variables.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A machine learning apparatus learning a point of connection of a ground wire or a shield wire used in an electric motor apparatus,
the machine learning apparatus comprising
a status observing part observing the point of connection of the ground wire or the shield wire and a feedback signal from an electric motor as status variables and
a learning part learning the point of connection of the ground wire or the shield wire reducing noise included in the feedback signal in accordance with a training data set prepared based on the status variables.

2. An electric motor control apparatus comprising:
a machine learning apparatus according to claim 1 ,
a connecting part connecting the ground wire or the shield wire to the point of connection,
a signal acquiring part acquiring a feedback signal, and
a decision-making part using a result learned by the learning part as the basis to determine the point of connection of the ground wire or the shield wire.

3. The electric motor control apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the learning part comprises
a reward calculating part using noise included in the feedback signal as the basis to calculate a reward and
a function updating part using the reward as the basis to update a function for determining the point of connection of the ground wire or the shield wire.

4. The electric motor control apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the reward calculating part is configured to increase the reward when the noise is smaller than a predetermined threshold value and to decrease the reward when it is the threshold value or more.

5. The electric motor control apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the function updating part is configured so as to update an action value table in accordance with the reward.

6. An electric motor apparatus comprising
an electric motor control apparatus according to claim 2 ,
an electric motor controlled by the electric motor control apparatus, and
an encoder outputting the feedback signal.

7. A machine learning method learning a point of connection of a ground wire or a shield wire used in an electric motor apparatus,
the machine learning method comprising
observing the point of connection of a ground wire or shield wire and a feedback signal from an electric motor as status variables and
learning the point of connection of the ground wire or the shield wire reducing noise included in the feedback signal in accordance with a training data set prepared based on the status variables.
