Abstract: A head mechanism includes a base connectable to a body of a robot, a mounting member arranged above the base, a connecting member rotatably connected to the base and the mounting member. The connecting member, together with the mounting member, is rotatable relative to the base about a first axis, and the mounting member is rotatable relative to the connecting member about a second axis. The first axis and the second axis extend in different directions. The head mechanism further includes two first actuating mechanisms fixed to the base, and the two first actuating mechanisms are configured to drive the mounting member to rotate with respect to the base.

Abstract: A mechanical arm includes a first link connectable to a surface, a second link, a third link, a fourth link, and a fifth link that are coupled to one another in series, and an end effector connectable to the fifth link. The end effector is rotatable about an axis of rotation same as an axis of rotation of the fourth link, and rotatable about an axis of rotation orthogonal to the axis of rotation of the fourth link. The first link, the second link, the third link, the fourth link, and the fifth link are collectively structured and configured to rotate such that the end effector is actuatable to a workspace under the surface.

Abstract: A collision detection method, a storage medium, and a robot are provided. The method includes: calculating an external torque of a first joint of the robot based on a preset generalized momentum-based disturbance observer; calculating an external torque of a second joint of the robot based on a preset long short-term memory network; calculating an external torque of a third joint of the robot based on the external torque of the first joint and the external torque of the second joint; and determining whether the robot has collided with an external environment or not based on the external torque of the third joint and a preset collision threshold. In the present disclosure, the component of the model error in the joint external torque calculated by the disturbance observer is eliminated to obtain the accurate contact torque, thereby improving the accuracy of the collision detection.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a robot mapping method as well as a robot and a computer readable storage medium using the same. The method includes: detecting a marker with identification information capable of being identified by the robot in a current scene; determining whether the detected marker meets a preset condition; and mapping the current scene based on the marker, if the detected marker meets the preset condition. The robot mapping method can not only map the current scene, but also effectively reduce the difficulty of loops and the number of false loops.

Abstract: A robot climbing control method is disclosed. A gravity direction vector in a gravity direction in a camera coordinate system of a robot is obtained. A stair edge of stairs in a scene image is obtained and an edge direction vector of the stair edge in the camera coordinate system is determined. A position parameter of the robot relative to the stairs is determined according to the gravity direction vector and the edge direction vector. Poses of the robot are adjusted according to the position parameter to control the robot to climb the stairs.
