Abstract: A technology is described for redundant network communication in a robot. An example of the technology can include a main robotic controller, a local controller in network communication with the main robotic controller, and instructions that, when executed by the processor, transfer first and second data signals between the main robotic controller and the local controller via first and second network channels. The first data signal is sent over the first network channel, and the second data signal is sent over the second network channel. The instructions compare the first data signal with the second data signal to determine signal integrity of the data signals; determine degradation of the first data signal if the signal integrity is less than the signal integrity of the second data signal; and select the second data signal for processing if degradation of the first data signal is determined.

Abstract: A robotic joint system is provided that facilitates efficient movement of a ground-contacting robotic system, such as during a gait cycle. The robotic joint system can comprise a first support member, a second support member, and a joint assembly rotatably coupling the first support member to the second support member about an axis of rotation. The joint assembly can comprise a passive actuation system coupled between the first and second support members. The passive actuation system can comprise a passive actuator operable to store energy and to release energy to apply a torque to the joint assembly and the first and second support members, and a length adapter coupled to the passive actuator operable to selectively direct the output of the stored energy of the passive actuator.

The robotic system can comprise a second robotic system comprising a second mobile platform operable to move about the surface, and comprising a second manipulator. A control module can be associated with the master robotic system and the first and second robotic systems, and can be operable in a paired control mode to facilitate paired control of the first and second robotic systems to move about the ground surface, and operable in an unpaired control mode to facilitate non-paired control of a selected one of the first or second robotic systems.

Abstract: A robotic system comprises a first robotic crawler having a mobility mechanism for locomotion, a second robotic crawler having a mobility mechanism for locomotion, and at least one coupling mechanism supported by at least one of the first or second robotic crawlers to couple and uncouple the first and second robotic crawlers to and from each other. When coupled together, the first and second robotic crawlers are operable as a unified robotic crawler system in a coordinated drive mode for operational control of respective mobility mechanisms in a coordinated manner. Various operating modes provide for selective control of various aspects of the first and second robotic crawlers, whether coordinated or independent control. The unified robotic crawler system provides greater or enhanced stability of the first and second robotic crawlers. Associated methods are provided herein.

Abstract: A robotic system for a robotic limb configured to recover energy for minimizing power consumption of the robotic system, comprising a first support member, a second support member, and a quasi-passive elastic actuator rotatably coupling the first and second support members to define a joint of the robotic system rotatable about an axis of rotation defining a degree of freedom. The quasi-passive elastic actuator can comprise a first vane device and a second vane device, the first vane device and second vane device being rotatable relative to each other within the housing and defining, at least in part, a compression chamber and an expansion chamber. The system can further comprise a valve assembly, the valve assembly comprising a valve device disposed through an opening of the first vane device along the axis of rotation, and a shunt circuit facilitating fluid flow between the compression and expansion chambers through the valve assembly. The valve assembly is operable to position the valve device in an open position to open the shunt circuit to place the quasi-passive elastic actuator in an inelastic state, and to position the valve device in a closed position to close the shunt circuit to place the quasi-passive elastic actuator in an elastic state.

Abstract: A technology is described for managing and securing a software version history for a device using a blockchain. An example method can include receiving device information for a device configured to receive software updates, where a device history for the device can be contained in a blockchain distributed among multiple network nodes. The device information can be validated against the device history contained in the blockchain to confirm an identity of the device, and a software update can be initiated for the device. An indication that the software update was installed on the device can be received and a block can be generated to include information for the software update installed on the device. The block can be sent to the network nodes configured to determine acceptance of the block and append the block to the blockchain when the block is accepted.
