Embodiment Construction

[0032] Figure 1a with 1b Shown by ALDEBARAN ROBOTICS TM (Aldebaran Robotics TM ) two examples of humanoid robots developed by the company. exist Figure 1a A humanoid robot 10 shown in FIG. 2 includes a head 1 , a torso 2 , two arms 3 , two hands 4 , two legs 5 and two feet 6 . exist Figure 1b The humanoid robot 10' shown in includes a head 1, a torso 2, two arms 3, two hands 4, and a pendant 7. These two robots include joints that allow the relative movement of the different limbs of the robot in order to reproduce the human form and its movements. The robots 10 and 10' include, for example, joints 11 between the torso 2 and the respective arms 3. The joint 11 is motorized about two axes of rotation to enable the movement of the arm 3 relative to the torso 2 in a manner capable of movement of a human shoulder.

[0033] The humanoid robot 10 also includes a number of joints for moving the robot's legs and reproducing walking motions, specifically including the hips, wh...

Abstract

The invention relates to a moving robot comprising a trunk (11) and a plurality of limbs (12, 13, 14) joined to the trunk (11) in a removable manner, characterized in that it comprises: for each of the limbs (12), means (32, 28, 36, 37) for pre-positioning, said limb (12) on the trunk (11), and a single flange (25) connected to the trunk (11) and configured to removably attach all of the limbs (12, 13, 14) to the trunk (11). Each of the limbs (12, 13, 14) comprises a motorized joint (22, 23, 24), by means of which the limb (12, 13, 14) is positioned and attached on the trunk (11), and can be driven to move with respect to the trunk (11).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of mobile robots. It relates to a device for prepositioning and removably securing articulated limbs of a mobile robot. It also relates to a maintenance method that allows easy and rapid replacement of a failed articulated limb with a replacement limb. Background technique [0002] Humanoid robots attempt to combine the maximum number of human-like features in one machine. The first goal is to approach humans in appearance, form or movement. Humanoid robots generally include motorized joints capable of moving one limb relative to another by means of electric motors. The most advanced humanoid robots thus include legs, arms or hands. They can walk or dance like humans. They are able to manipulate various forms of objects with their hands. Another goal is to approach humans in both its behavior and its intelligence. Artificial intelligence in robots is increasingly successful, allowing increasingly complex intera...
