ROBOT ARM AND ROBOT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240300119 titled 'ROBOT ARM AND ROBOT
The abstract describes a patent application for a robot arm with a robot hand that can move fingers to adjust the distance between them. The hand base can rotate around an axis passing through the fingertips of two fingers, and the arm has rotational degrees of freedom at the wrist joint.
- The robot arm includes a robot hand with a hand base, first and second finger connection portions, and a finger moving portion.
- The hand base can rotate around a rotation axis passing through the fingertips of the first and third fingers.
- The forearm of the robot arm is connected to the wrist joint with rotational degrees of freedom, allowing the hand base to be rotated.
- The innovation allows for precise control and manipulation of the fingers, enabling various tasks to be performed with the robot arm.
- The design enhances the dexterity and flexibility of the robot arm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and research.
Potential Applications: - Manufacturing processes requiring precise manipulation of objects - Surgical procedures that demand delicate and accurate movements - Research projects exploring human-robot interactions and advanced robotics technologies
Problems Solved: - Limited dexterity and flexibility in traditional robot arms - Challenges in performing intricate tasks that require precise finger movements - Lack of adaptability in existing robotic systems for various applications
Benefits: - Improved efficiency and accuracy in performing tasks - Enhanced capabilities for handling delicate and complex operations - Increased versatility and adaptability for different applications
Commercial Applications: - Automation in manufacturing industries for assembly and handling tasks - Medical robotics for surgical procedures and healthcare applications - Research and development in robotics for advanced technological innovations
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the rotation axis passing through the fingertips of the fingers enhance the functionality of the robot hand? 2. What are the specific industries or sectors that could benefit the most from this advanced robot arm technology?
Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing studies on enhancing the control algorithms for the robot arm to improve precision and efficiency in various applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
a robot arm includes a robot hand including a hand base to which first and second finger connection portions are connected, and a finger moving portion to move the first and second finger connection portions with respect to the hand base such that a distance between a first finger and a third finger increases or decreases. a rotation axis rotating the hand base passes through a midpoint between fingertips of the first finger and the third finger while the first finger and the third finger are perpendicular to the hand base. the robot arm includes a forearm and a wrist joint to connect the robot hand to the forearm rotatably with two rotational degrees of freedom or one rotational degree of freedom. the forearm is rotatable around a forearm rotation axis that passes through the forearm and is the rotation axis that allows the hand base to be rotated.
