摘要: A method is disclosed for reducing impact forces to legged robots as a result of traversing a terrain. The method includes employing actuators and compliant elements to use the contact of a first portion of a foot assembly with a terrain during a step to reduce the vertical velocity of a subsequent portion of the foot assembly so that the vertical velocity of the subsequent portion as it touches the terrain is substantially zero relative to the terrain. Foot assemblies that employ these methods are also provided.

摘要: Walking VTOL vehicles and related systems and methods are disclosed. A representative system can include one or more vertical thrust propulsion systems for providing vertical thrust for the vehicle, one or more horizontal thrust propulsion systems for providing horizontal thrust for the vehicle, and leg elements that are rotatable between a first configuration in which each leg element extends downwardly and a second configuration different from the first configuration. A representative method of operating a vehicle includes using vertical thrust to raise the vehicle upward, rotating a leg element forward, lowering the vehicle, and then rotating the leg element rearward to propel the vehicle forward.

摘要: The present disclosure discloses a motion control method and apparatus for a legged robot, a legged robot, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program product. The legged robot includes at least two foot-ends. The method includes: receiving a bound instruction for the legged robot in response to the foot-ends of the legged robot standing in unit regions that are independent from one another, the bound instruction being used for instructing the legged robot to bound to a target unit region from at least two unit regions in which the legged robot is currently located; and controlling the legged robot to bound to the target unit region in response to the bound instruction, a distance between any two foot-ends of the legged robot in the target unit region being less than a distance between two corresponding foot-ends before bounding.

摘要: Marking metadata during layout can be time intensive. A robotic device is used to mark out points at a construction site, and an augmented-reality device uses the points for alignment and provides metadata about the points to a user of the augmented-reality device as the user looks at the points.

摘要: The invention discloses a cleaning partition planning method for robot walking along the boundary, a chip and a robot. According to the cleaning partition planning method, a complete global map does not needed to be prestored in advance, but an initial room cleaning partition of the robot is divided in real time in a predefined cleaning area according to map image pixel information obtained by laser scanning in the process of walking along the boundary, meanwhile, the initial room cleaning partition of the robot is expanded by repeated iterative processing of the wall boundary of an uncleaned area in the same predefined cleaning area.

摘要: An example robot includes a hydraulic actuator cylinder controlling motion of a member of the robot. The hydraulic actuator cylinder comprises a piston, a first chamber, and a second chamber. A valve system controls hydraulic fluid flow between a hydraulic supply line of pressurized hydraulic fluid, the first and second chambers, and a return line. A controller may provide a first signal to the valve system so as to begin moving the piston based on a trajectory comprising moving in a forward direction, stopping, and moving in a reverse direction. The controller may provide a second signal to the valve system so as to cause the piston to override the trajectory as it moves in the forward direction and stop at a given position, and then provide a third signal to the valve system so as to resume moving the piston in the reverse direction based on the trajectory.
