A robot cleaner system includes docking structure to allow a dust discharge port of a robot cleaner to come into close contact with a dust suction port of a docking station without an additional drive device. The robot cleaner system includes a robot cleaner having a dust discharge port, a docking station having a dust suction port to suction dust collected in the robot cleaner, and a docking device to perform a seesaw movement as it contacts the robot cleaner when the robot cleaner docks with the docking station, to allow the dust suction port to come into close contact with the dust discharge port. The docking device includes a link member installed in the docking station in a pivotally rotatable manner, one end having a contact portion to come into contact with the robot cleaner, and the other end having a docking portion defining the dust suction port therein.

A walking robot using simple ground reaction force sensors and a method of controlling the same. It is an aspect of the present invention to provide the walking robot and the method of controlling the same, which reduces development and manufacturing costs of the walking robot and allows non-specialists to easily participate in the development. The walking robot includes a plurality of legs. One or more sensors are mounted on soles of each of the legs to detect whether the soles of each of the legs are in contact with a ground during locomotion. The walking robot performs the locomotion according to a locomotion pattern composed of a plurality of locomotion cycles, and proceeds from a current locomotion cycle to a next locomotion cycle after determining whether the current locomotion cycle is stable using detection results of the sensors.

A robot system includes a mobile robot with a driving part to move. The robot system includes a light commander to emit light and give a command corresponding to a reflecting position at which the light is reflected. The robot system also includes a position detector to receive information on the reflecting position as an image, and to detect the reflecting position, and a controller to determine a reflecting trace based on the reflecting position detected by the position detector, and to output the reflecting trace to the driving part to control the driving part. Thus, the robot system and a control method thereof, has reduced costs, and is easy and safely operated, and immediate operation teaching is possible without a compensating process.

A robot joint driving apparatus has an improved structure, a robot having the same, and a cable linkage method of the robot joint driving apparatus. In the robot joint driving apparatus, lines of a cable to drive a robot joint unit are connected plural times in parallel, thereby increasing torsional stiffness of the robot joint unit. Further, a cable fixing unit is provided on an output pulley, thereby preventing slippage of the cable on the output pulley. Moreover, the overall size of the robot joint driving apparatus is reduced due to an improved power transmission structure from a driving motor to the output pulley.

A driving apparatus includes a driving unit, a driven unit separated from the driving unit at a separation space so as not to contact the driving unit, and rotated by rotary force generated from the driving unit, a cable connecting the driving unit and the driven unit, and to transmit the rotary force to the driven unit, and pressure units provided in the separation space, and to pressurize the cable in a direction of approaching opposite portions of the cable to each other to generate a tensile strength of the cable. Since the cable transmitting the rotary force of the driving unit to the driven unit has sufficient tensile strength, preventing the generation of slip of the cable from the driving unit and the driven unit is possible, and thus to allow the rotary force to be transmitted to the driven unit without a loss.
