摘要:
A robot has a robot body on a frame structure, the robot body having at least one enclosed space to hold at least one delivery item. At least one sensing device detects objects along a direction of motion of said robot. The robot has six wheels, where at least two wheels on a side of the frame are connected to each other. The axis of rotation of each wheel is substantially fixed with respect to the robot during forward, rearward, and turning motion of the robot. During transition, via a substantially vertical obstacle, from a first substantially horizontally surface to a second substantially horizontally surface higher than the first substantially horizontally surface, one of the connected wheels causes an upward or a downward force to be applied to the other connected wheel.

A system for preventing discomfort to a user of a robotic exoskeleton (200) determines the existence of an exoskeleton operating condition which has the potential to cause at least one of a discomfort or an injury to a user (204) when the exoskeleton is being worn by the user. Responsive to the determining, an exoskeleton control system (224) selectively controls at least one viscous coupling (208, 210) disposed at an interface location (201, 203) of the exoskeleton where a physical interaction occurs between a portion of the user and a portion of the exoskeleton when the exoskeleton is in use. The control system selectively varies a viscosity of a fluid (216) comprising the viscous coupling to control the stiffness of the interface.

The invention relates to a vehicle (1), comprising a rotation-symmetrical, particularly spherical housing (2) which is disposed about a rotational axis (A) and has a convex drive and running surface, wherein the housing (2) is composed at least partially of transparent material, and at least one door (3) for at least one person to enter and exit, and in the interior of the housing (2) further comprising a seat (4) for the at least one person, a drive (5) for rotating the housing (2), and furthermore a device for control purposes, wherein bearings (7, 8) are provided in the rotational axis (A) of the housing (2) for rotatably mounting a lower seat structure (6) receiving the seat (4), and the drive (5) is disposed on the lower seat structure (6) and connected thereto. In order to improve the handling characteristics of such a vehicle (1), the seat (4) is disposed displaceably laterally with respect to the lower seat structure (6).
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a computer-implemented system and method for controlling robots (41) using a high-level programming language. The invention defines three programming languages, i.e., two high-level languages and a low-level language. A first high-level programming language is referred to herein as a robot scenario language (RSL) (20), in which an end-user (18) creates a robotic presentation (40) in terms of high-level behaviors or actions. A second high-level language, referred to herein as a robot behavior language (RBL) comprised of templates for describing how each high level behavior or action in the high-level (RSL) language is to be transformed or mapped into low-level language commands for directly controlling the hardware of the robot (41). The low-level language referred to herein as a robot hardware language (RHWL).
