Abstract: A stretchable cable is provided that allows an extra length to be reduced when routed in a movable part. The stretchable cable includes an elastically deformable hollow insulation having a hollow portion that is continuous along a cable longitudinal direction, and at least one electricity- or light-conducting wire-shaped body provided in a spiral shape along the cable longitudinal direction and fixed to the hollow insulation to stretch and contract together with the hollow insulation. The cable is elongated not less than 1.2 times when a tensile force is applied, and the cable returns to an original length when the tensile force is removed.

Abstract: A robot device includes a first link configured to rotate on a first axis, a second link supported by a tip-end part of the first link so as to be rotatable on a second axis, and a hand part supported by a tip-end part of the second link. When one direction perpendicular to the first axis is a first perpendicular direction, and a direction perpendicular to both the first axis and the first perpendicular direction is a second perpendicular direction, the second axis extends in parallel to the first perpendicular direction and is deviated from the first axis in the second perpendicular direction.

Abstract: A charging infrastructure including a charging station (1) for charging a vehicle (10) having a vehicle-side charging interface (20). The charging station (1) includes a robot (50) that carries a robot-side charging interface (100) for establishing a charging connection with the vehicle-side charging interface (20). The robot (50) includes a base frame (51), a movable carrier (60) carrying the robot-side charging interface (100), and at least three displacement assemblies (71-76) between the base frame (51) and the movable carrier (60) that form a mechanism to move the movable carrier (60) with at least three degrees of freedom with respect to the base frame (51). The displacement assemblies (71-76) include an actuator (80) and a compliance assembly (90) in series with the actuator (80) and the robot-side charging interface for resiliently absorbing or releasing a displacement between the actuator and the robot-side charging interface over a compliance stroke or displacement angle.
