AI summary

Setting of parameters that determine filter characteristics is facilitated. A machine learning device performs machine learning of optimizing coefficients of at least one filter provided in a servo control device that controls rotation of a motor. The filter is a filter for attenuating a specific frequency component. The coefficients of the filter are optimized on the basis of measurement information of a measurement device that measures at least one of an input/output gain and an input/output phase delay of the servo control device on the basis of an input signal of which the frequency changes and an output signal of the servo control device.
