Description
The force in the W direction became excessive while acquiring an environmental characteristic in the impedance parameters auto tuning.
Remedy
Correct the errors in the following order; then execute the impedance parameters auto tuning again. 1. Execessive force was generated during the auto tuning. Stop any vibration sources that are near the robot. 2. The desired force might be too small. Increase the desired force.
