<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a joint actuator for a robot of novel structure capable of transmitting output of a driving source to a joint, while reducing the output speed of the driving source. <P>SOLUTION: A first member 35 and a second member 33 are rotatably connected to each other through a connecting shaft 34. The first member 35 includes a support shaft 41 at a position separated from the connecting shaft 34. The second member 33 includes a driving shaft 37 as a second support shaft at a position separated from the connecting shaft 34. Extendable mechanisms 38, 39 and 40 change a distance between the first support shaft 41 and the second support shaft 37 so that the second member 33 rotates around the connecting shaft 34 relatively to the first member 35. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
