摘要： A compliant robot includes a base and a compliant robot arm. The compliant robot arm includes a first quasi-direct drive assembly operatively connected to said base such that said compliant robot arm has at least one degree of freedom for motion relative to said base. The first quasi-direct drive assembly provides passive compliance such that said compliant robot arm has a back-drivable mode of operation for interactions between said compliant robot arm and an environment.

摘要： According to some embodiments of the invention, an adjusting device for adjusting a passive drip irrigation valve to enable precision irrigation includes a device body configured to be at least one of hand-held or attachable to a robot, the device body having a manipulator end, and a manipulator assembly contained within and extending from the manipulator end of the device body. The manipulator assembly includes a coarse alignment adjustment assembly constructed and arranged to align the adjusting device with the passive drip irrigation valve. The manipulator assembly also includes a fine actuator configured to rotate the passive drip irrigation valve by a specified angle.
