Questions about Robot Appendage Technology: 1. How does the removable appendage of the robot contribute to stable pitch and yaw movements? 2. What are the potential industrial applications of this technology in robotics and automation?
Original Abstract Submitted
in various implementations a removable appendage of a robot can allow for stable pitch and yaw, while mitigating interference with other movements of the robot. a neck of the robot can include at least two linear actuators, each coupled to a rod that is driven to move linearly from the linear actuators. an appendage of the robot can be coupled to the neck. the appendage can include a at least two tracks, where each track receives an end of the rods to slidably engage the rod.
