    摘要: An inverted two-wheel guided vehicle is provided with a vehicle body 4 including a loading platform, a carriage 5 supported on wheels 1a, 1b, a moving mechanism 7 for displacing relative positions of the vehicle body 4 and the carriage 5, an inclination sensor 6 for detecting the posture of the vehicle body 4, and a controller 9 for controllably driving the wheels 1a, 1b and the moving mechanism 7. Since a posture control can be executed such that a seat 8 atop the vehicle body 4 is constantly horizontal by displacing the moving mechanism forward and backward even for a slope or a step in a travel path, a stable travel can be realized by preventing the collapse of baggage piles and giving no discomfort to a loaded person.

    摘要: 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: Each lifting portion includes a fixing portion and a sliding portion slidable relative to the fixing portion. The sliding portion has a placing surface on which a cared person can be placed, and the fixing portion includes an input portion used to input an operation instruction. The input portion can be located at a first position and a second position located more backward relative to the placing surface than the first position in a direction away from the cared person. Therefore, burdens of a carer can be reduced at the time of lifting up the cared person.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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 collision between the arm and the obstacle.

    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.
