摘要:
A manipulator includes a main unit movable to a specified target position, an arm unit rotatably provided on the main unit, and a posture controller. The posture controller controls the posture of the arm unit so that a front surface of the arm unit facing forward in a moving direction of the main unit is not orthogonal to the moving direction of the main unit when the movement of the main unit is performed. The arm unit may be inclined obliquely backward with respect to a moving direction of the main unit when the main unit is moved to a specified target position.

A robot arm has a drive gear that has a shaft, a gear frame being capable of turning about the shaft of the drive gear, a first follower gear being capable of turning, in synchronization with the drive gear, about a shaft fixed to the gear frame, in a direction opposite to the turning direction of the drive gear, a transmission control mechanism that is capable of locking the first follower gear to the drive gear, an arm that moves in synchronization with the first follower gear, and a collision detection unit that is capable of detecting a collision between the arm and an obstacle. The transmission control mechanism unlocks the follower gear from the drive gear in response to detection, by the collision detection unit, of a collision between the arm and the obstacle. The robot arm enables quick cushioning of the impact force of the collision.

A structure is provided with a first member at a base end side, a third member at a leading end side, a second member arranged between the first and third members, and a coupling force generator for generating a first coupling force for pressing an end surface of the first member and that of the second member against each other and a second coupling force for pressing an end surface of the second member and that of the third member against each other. In this structure, the first and third members are relatively displaced upon the application of an external force larger than a coupling force generated between the end surface of the first member and that of the second member by the first coupling force, whereas the second and third members are relatively displaced upon the application of an external force larger than a coupling force generated between the end surface of the second member and that of the first member by the second coupling force.

A robot is provided with a position setting unit for setting the position information of a destination, a locomotion unit for a movement to the set position, an actuator for driving the locomotion unit to the set position of movement, and a radio detection system for detecting the presence or absence of an unauthorized radio wave based on received radio waves. The radio detection system includes a radio receiver for detecting radio signals at mutually different positions in accordance with position information, a radio signal storage for storing the detected radio signals, a radio signal verifier for detecting the presence or absence of a radio signal having the same characteristics by comparing a detected radio signal and the radio signal stored in the radio signal storage, and an unauthorized radio wave detector for detecting the presence of an unauthorized radio wave when the radio signal having the same characteristics is present.

A manipulator is provided with an arm, an arm, a holding section, a first joint section pivotally interconnecting the arm and the arm, a second joint section pivotally interconnecting the arm and the holding section, a first joint driving section capable of driving the first joint section, a second joint driving section capable of driving the second joint section, a member specifying section for specifying one of the arms which has a possibility of collision with an obstacle or which has collided with the obstacle, and a control device for controlling the first joint driving section and the second joint driving section to pivotally move the one of the arms specified by the member specifying section in a direction away from the obstacle, and pivotally move the other of the arms in a direction toward the obstacle.

It is aimed to provide a manipulator capable of reducing a colliding force exerted to an obstacle even in the case where the manipulator collides without being able to avoid a collision with the obstacle.A manipulator 1 includes an arm unit 3 rotatably provided on a main unit 2. A posture detector 10 executes a control to incline the arm unit 3 obliquely backward with respect to a moving direction P when the main unit 2 of the manipulator 1 is moved. Thus, the arm unit 3 collides with an obstacle 11 in an inclined state, wherefore a colliding force exerted to the obstacle 11 can be distributed.

摘要:
A sensing unit, such as a camera, or the like, senses the conditions of articles and mobile existences, including humans, in a life space, such as a house of a household, or the like. An article management/operation server manages, on an article database, attribute information of the articles, which include operators, etc., according to the information from the sensing unit. The server receives a user's instruction input through a console unit and refers to the article database to convert this instruction to a control command, which is then transmitted to a life-support robot.
