ROBOT MANIPULATION DEVICE AND ROBOT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18277940 titled 'ROBOT MANIPULATION DEVICE AND ROBOT
The abstract describes a robot operation device attached to a robot with a long tool fixed to a flange at the distal end of the robot. The device includes a handle with an inner hole for the tool, designed to be held by the operator's hand enclosing the tool's longitudinal axis, and a sensor to detect force or moment applied to the handle by the operator. The robot can be controlled through lead-through control based on the force or moment detected by the sensor.
- The robot operation device is attached to a robot with a long tool fixed to a flange.
- The handle of the device has an inner hole for the tool and is designed to be held by the operator's hand.
- A sensor is included to detect force or moment applied to the handle by the operator.
- The robot can be controlled through lead-through control based on the force or moment detected by the sensor.

Questions about Robot Operation Devices: 1. How does the sensor in the handle detect force or moment applied by the operator? The sensor in the handle measures the pressure or torque exerted by the operator's hand, providing real-time feedback to control the robot's movements effectively.
2. What are the key advantages of using lead-through control in operating robots with long tools? Lead-through control allows operators to guide the robot's movements intuitively, improving precision and efficiency in various industrial applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
An robot operation device attached to a robot having a long tool fixed to a flange provided at a distal end of the robot, the robot operation device includes a handle having an inner hole through which the tool is inserted, the handle configured to be held by one of hands of an operator in a manner that a longitudinal axis of the tool is enclosed by the one of the hands, and a sensor configured to attach the handle to the flange, the sensor detecting force or moment applied to the handle by the operator. The robot is operable by lead-through control which changes a position and posture of the robot in response to the force or the moment detected by the sensor.
