103 Device for absorbing floor-landing shock for legged mobile robot US10499116 2002-12-11 US07378811B2 2008-05-27 Toru Takenaka; Hiroshi Gomi; Kazushi Hamaya; Yoshinari Takemura; Takashi Matsumoto; Takahide Yoshiike; Yoichi Nishimura; Kazushi Akimoto; Taro Yokoyama
A landing shock absorbing device 18 disposed in a foot mechanism 6 of a leg of a robot, wherein an inflatable bag-like member 19 (variable capacity element) is provided at a bottom face side of the foot mechanism 6. The bag-like member 19 is constructed of an elastic material such as rubber. The air in atmosphere may flow into and out of the bag-like member 19 by inflow/outflow means 20 equipped with a solenoid valve 27, and the like. In a lifting state of the foot mechanism 6, inflow of the air into the bag-like member 19 is controlled, thereby controlling the final height of the bag-like member 19 in an inflated state to the height in response to a gait type of the robot. While properly reducing an impact load during a landing motion of the leg of a legged mobile robot depending on the gait type of the robot, stability of a posture of the robot may easily be secured, resulting in allowing a configuration to be lighter in weight.

In a legged mobile robot having a body and legs connected to the body, a seating aid is provided at its body so as to enable to sit on a seat. With this, the space occupied by the robot can be decreased to reduce space during storage and transport, and also enhance safety in the course of transport. In addition, maintenance work is simplified because immobilization in the seated condition is possible. Still further, the range of works is expanded to enable deskwork and the like. Further, the seating aid is provided at a location that is rearward of a center of gravity of the robot when the robot is seated. With this, the moment acting on the robot about the center of gravity during seating does not operate to tilt the robot rearward and, therefore, the robot can be enabled to keep a stable posture from before to after sitting down.

A mobile robot guest for interacting with a human resident performs a room-traversing search procedure prior to interacting with the resident, and may verbally query whether the resident being sought is present. Upon finding the resident, the mobile robot may facilitate a teleconferencing session with a remote third party, or interact with the resident in a number of ways. For example, the robot may carry on a dialogue with the resident, reinforce compliance with medication or other schedules, etc. In addition, the robot incorporates safety features for preventing collisions with the resident; and the robot may audibly announce and/or visibly indicate its presence in order to avoid becoming a dangerous obstacle. Furthermore, the mobile robot behaves in accordance with an integral privacy policy, such that any sensor recording or transmission must be approved by the resident.

110 Impact absorbing mechanism of walking robot US10527728 2003-09-10 US20060237241A1 2006-10-26 Shigehiko Ohta; Toshikazu Kawasaki; Takakatsu Isozumi
An impact absorbing mechanism, provided to a foot 5 of an extremity of each of two movable legs 2 of a bipedal walking robot 1 having the two movable legs 2, includes: an upper base plate 5-a joined to a foot joint 4 of each of the movable legs 2; a lower base plate 5b positioned below the upper base plate, and being opposite to the upper base plate; and three elastic members 6 anisotropic in terms of elasticity, which are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction about the yaw axis YA extending in a direction perpendicular to the upper base plate 5a, between the upper base plate 5a and the lower base plate 5b, each of which allows the lower base plate 5b to make elastic displacement relative to the upper base plate 5a in the same direction as axis YA extends, while each of which inhibits the lower base plate 5b from making elastic displacement relative to the upper base plate 5a in directions orthogonal to the yaw axis direction, and which join the upper base plate 5a and the lower base plate 5b elastically. This can simplify a calculation by a CPU concerning control of the walking of the walking robot. This can prevent disturbance, which would otherwise occur due to the friction resistance stemming from the physical interference by the rigid members. In addition, this can prevent the 6-axis force sensor from being broken, and can also prevent an equivalent to the breakage.
