Problems solved by technology

[0003] Some animal toys have a soft cloth cover attached to the surface of the toy. However, if such a cloth cover is attached to the robot, the robot body cannot be maintained.
In addition, the cloth gown bonded to the robot body becomes a load on the movable part of the robot body, and there is a problem that the driving force decreases.

Embodiment Construction

[0027] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] figure 1 It shows a cat-shaped robot having the skin-adhesive structure according to the present invention. The outer skin adhesion structure of the present invention is not limited to the form of cats, other animal types such as foxes, dogs, and birds, plant types imitating loofahs, apples, etc., insect types such as caterpillars, tentacle robots such as octopuses and spiny balls, or simulated fictional The character's robot can also be applied.

[0029] figure 1 The robot consists of a robot body 1 and a skin 2. The main body 1 is composed of a trunk 3 , a head 4 , two front legs 5 , two rear legs 6 and a tail 7 . The trunk portion 3 has an unillustrated driving device for driving the aforementioned head 4, two front legs 5, two rear legs 6 and tail 7, a control device for controlling the driving device, and power supply to the aforementioned...

Abstract

A skin application structure for bodies that gives a sense of closeness to human, does not cause damage to the surrounding environment, is easily maintained, and does not exert any load to the movable portion is provided. A flexible skin is detachably applied on the surface of the casings of the body including movable portions and immovable portions.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a skin-adhered structure for a robot that has an animal-like, plant-like, insect-like, tentacle-like form, and is used in a human-centered environment such as a factory or home, and a robot having the same structure. Background technique [0002] Conventionally used robots have frames made of metal, resin, etc. that are directly exposed, so they have the disadvantage of causing damage or damage to surrounding objects or people when they fall or collide with the surroundings. Moreover, because the frame or mechanical parts are exposed, it looks more explicit, and the feel is not good, which cannot give people a sense of intimacy. Even when the level of performance is high and various performances that shorten the distance from humans are performed, there is a problem that many women or elderly people are not interested in robots with exposed frames or structures. [0003] Some animal toys have a soft cloth cover atta...
