ROBOT AND ROBOT PROPULSION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240262145 titled 'ROBOT AND ROBOT PROPULSION METHOD
The abstract describes a patent application for a walking robot that includes propulsion devices attached to the robot, with at least one propulsion device being movably attached to a body unit. The robot also includes a control device that performs posture control and direction control during propulsion.
- The walking robot has a plurality of propulsion devices that apply thrust to the robot.
- At least one propulsion device is movably attached to a body unit by a movable device.
- The control device performs posture control by changing the posture of the propulsion device attached to the body unit during propulsion.
- The control device also performs direction control of a leg unit by controlling a hip joint actuator.
- The direction control ensures that the extending direction of the leg unit during propulsion is opposite to the forward direction.
Potential Applications: - Robotics industry for advanced walking robots - Military applications for reconnaissance and surveillance - Search and rescue missions in challenging terrains
Problems Solved: - Enhanced stability and control during walking - Improved maneuverability in various environments - Efficient posture and direction control for optimal performance
Benefits: - Increased agility and adaptability - Enhanced navigation capabilities - Improved efficiency in complex tasks
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Walking Robot Technology for Enhanced Mobility This technology can be used in industries such as robotics, defense, and emergency response for improved performance and maneuverability in challenging environments.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the control device ensure optimal posture and direction control during propulsion? The control device uses a movable device to adjust the posture of the propulsion device attached to the body unit, while also controlling the hip joint actuator for direction control.
2. What are the potential applications of this walking robot technology in the military sector? The technology can be utilized for reconnaissance, surveillance, and search and rescue missions in difficult terrains, providing enhanced mobility and control for military operations.
Original Abstract Submitted
a walking robot includes a plurality of propulsion devices that are attached to the robot and apply thrust to the robot. at least one propulsion device of the plurality of propulsion devices is movably attached to a body unit by a movable device. the walking robot includes a control device. the control device performs posture control of changing a posture of the propulsion device attached to the body unit from a posture during walking by controlling the movable device during propulsion that is moving using the propulsion device. the control device performs direction control of a leg unit such that an extending direction of the leg unit during propulsion is opposite to a forward direction by controlling a hip joint actuator.
