JOINT STRUCTURE OF ROBOT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240246227 titled 'JOINT STRUCTURE OF ROBOT

The abstract of the patent application describes a joint structure for a robot, consisting of multiple links and pivots connecting them.

  • First link connected to a first member
  • Second link connected to the first link and a second member
  • First pivot connecting the first link to the second link
  • Third link connected to the first link near the first pivot
  • Slide part connected to the second link for sliding movement
  • Third link connected to the slide part
