Industrial robot governed by a programmable controller

TLDR
In this paper, a kinematic system of an industrial robot and a sequential control system of its operating cycle is described, which consists of a vertical spindle supporting a main rotating arm and a forearm fixed to a gripping component.
Abstract
The invention concerns a kinematic system of an industrial robot and a sequential control system of its operating cycle. The robot comprises a vertical spindle supporting a main rotating arm and a forearm fixed to a gripping component. A first vertical transfer jack is provided at the end of the forearm. Arms are mounted via bearings on a loose spindle in a link and can swivel, driven by servo-motors in a horizontal plane so as to form a kinematic system functioning in cylindrical coordinates. The servo-motors are programmed to drive the gripping component through a linear trajectory at the beginning of the cycle. A releasable couping system with memory device is provided for the tool-holder. The controller control system is arranged to ensure the transitory readjustment of each arm to a starting position.

Robot control apparatus

TL;DR: In this article, a robot control apparatus stores the result of operation on the inertia term of an equation of motion depending upon the position of the robot arm, so that the operation period on the inertial term is set longer than the operation periods on the drive torque.

Remotely controlled self-balancing robot including a stabilized laser pointer

TL;DR: In this article, a system and methods for projecting a stabilized laser beam from a robot being controlled through a human interface is described. But the human interface allows the operator to both observe the visual environment of the robot and also to aim the laser beam.

Articulation drive apparatus of industrial robot

TL;DR: In this article, a robot arm drive apparatus of an industrial robot consisting of an electric motor having a drive shaft, a first robot member having the electric motor mounted thereon, a second robot member rotatably supported on the first robot members; and reduction gears comprising a planetary reduction gear and furthermore an additional reduction gear which is purposely provided so that the number of rotations of the electric motors, at which the resonance of a drive system comprising the motor, the second robot members and the reduction gear means occurs, is shifted from a predetermined operational region of the motor.
