MULTIBLOCK-ROBOT

摘要

In a robot system having robot-specific methods of operation, it is intended to be able to carry out the development and design at minimal cost for specific tasks and for the users themselves to be able to carry out conversion for a different range of operations, with little manual involvement. In order to achieve this object, it is provided according to the invention that modular robots with self-operating movement, driving and manipulation characteristics be assembled from standardised modular robot parts (1) of approximately identical construction, which modular robots are equipped with mutually matching horizontal and vertical rotating flange plug connectors (2) having rotating connections (4) with drive motors (8), and that a power and information duct (3) is passed centrally through the rotating flange plug connections (2), which duct holds power and supply lines (10) and communications and control lines (13), which lead to internal and external slip ring and inductive bodies (10', 10") and to installation elements (11), consisting of accumulators, sensors and electronics boards, and that the modular robots carry out variable manipulation movements and progressive movements in multi-axis movement degrees of freedom, via the rotating connections (4) and the drive motors (8), by means of pure rotation force transmissions, depending on how the standardised modular robot parts (1) are plugged together for different application objectives. ……
