65 Bipedal Isotropic Lattice Locomoting Explorer: Robotic Platform for Locomotion and Manipulation of Discrete Lattice Structures and Lightweight Space Structures US15633155 2017-06-26 US20170368679A1 2017-12-28 Benjamin Jenett; Kenneth Cheung; Neil Gershenfeld
A robotic platform for traversing and manipulating a modular 3D lattice structure is described. The robot is designed specifically for its tasks within a structured environment, and is simplified in terms of its numbers of degrees of freedom (DOF). This allows for simpler controls and a reduction of mass and cost. Designing the robot relative to the environment in which it operates results in a specific type of robot called a “relative robot”. Depending on the task and environment, there can be a number of relative robots. This invention describes a bipedal robot which can locomote across a periodic lattice structure made of building block parts. The robot is able to handle, manipulate, and transport these blocks when there is more than one robot. Based on a general inchworm design, the robot has added functionality while retaining minimal complexity, and can perform numerous maneuvers for increased speed, reach, and placement.

77 GRIPPING DEVICE, TRANSFER DEVICE WITH SAME, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING GRIPPING DEVICE US13981120 2011-12-29 US20130310980A1 2013-11-21 Hirofumi Matsuoka
A gripping device comprises: a gripping unit for gripping a work; a controller for controlling the gripping operation of the gripping unit; and contact sections attached to the gripping unit contacting the work, the contact sections being adapted to deform following the shape of the work, and to maintain the deformation. The gripping operation of the gripping unit presses the contact sections against the work to cause the contact sections to follow the outside of the work, and grips the work with the shape of the contact sections maintained. After predetermined number of times of gripping operation, the controller changes the positions of the contact points of the contact sections with the work when the work is gripped. As a result, different works having different shapes can be stably gripped and the lifetime of the contact sections can be extended to be longer than that of conventional products. The change, by the controller, in the positions of the points on the work with which the contact sections are in contact when the work is gripped is performed by shifting the contact sections in a plane vertical to the gripping direction.
