    摘要: Apparatus and methods for a modular robotic device with artificial intelligence that is receptive to training controls. In one implementation, modular robotic device architecture may be used to provide all or most high cost components in an autonomy module that is separate from the robotic body. The autonomy module may comprise controller, power, actuators that may be connected to controllable elements of the robotic body. The controller may position limbs of the toy in a target position. A user may utilize haptic training approach in order to enable the robotic toy to perform target action(s). Modular configuration of the disclosure enables users to replace one toy body (e.g., the bear) with another (e.g., a giraffe) while using hardware provided by the autonomy module. Modular architecture may enable users to purchase a single AM for use with multiple robotic bodies, thereby reducing the overall cost of ownership.

    摘要: An umbilical member arrangement structure capable of properly arranging an umbilical member in a parallel link robot. A first additional actuator is arranged on a passive link part of a parallel link robot. An Umbilical member is withdrawn from an opening formed on a generally circular bottom surface of a base part, while having a margin, approaches the passive link part, while extending in an intersecting direction with respect to a longitudinal direction of the passive link part, and is connected to the first additional actuator. The “intersecting direction” means a direction extending at an angle of 70 to 110 degrees, preferably 80 to 100 degrees, more preferably about 90 degrees, with respect to the longitudinal direction of the passive link part.

    摘要: In one embodiment of the invention, a counter balanced arm is disclosed including, a first link having a first rotating transmission device, a second link having a first rotating transmission device and a compression spring, a third rotating transmission device coupled between the first and second links, and a cable routed over the rotating transmission devices coupled between the second link and the compression spring. The compression spring forms a tension in the cable to counter balance a load applied to an end of the second link of the counter balanced arm.

    摘要: A wrist portion of a robot includes: a first movable portion configured to rotate relative to an arm portion around a first wrist axis; a second movable portion configured to rotate relative to the first movable portion around a second wrist axis; a third movable portion configured to rotate relative to the second movable portion around a third wrist axis; and a cable insertion portion through which an effector cable is inserted, the effector cable being used to supply electric power to an end effector attached to the third movable portion. The cable insertion portion is provided at the first movable portion so as to be located on the first wrist axis. Two motors among a plurality of motors configured to drive the wrist portion are attached to the first movable portion so as to sandwich the cable insertion portion in a direction perpendicular to the first wrist axis.

    摘要: A cable drawn from a lower arm of a robot into a first upper arm part of an upper arm is further drawn out to an exterior space of the robot through a first hole of a second upper arm part. The cable is drawn in contact with a sidewall part of the second upper arm part, and is disposed in a wrist arrangement portion through a second hole. A slack part is formed taking account of a length of the cable pulled by a wrist when the wrist pivots in the wrist arrangement portion, and the cable is drawn to a tool through a through hole of the wrist.
