A control device includes: a casing; a communication board configured in a plate shape; a control board configured in a plate shape and having one side attached to the communication board; an amplifier board configured in a plate shape and having one side attached to the communication board and provided with a power module for driving an actuator of a robot; and a brake power supply unit disposed opposite the communication board across the amplifier board and configured to drive an electromagnetic brake of the actuator.

A heat dissipation device and a robot using the same are provided. The heat dissipation device comprises a porous material layer, a transporting tube and a liquid. The at least one porous material layer is disposed on a housing surface of a robot. The porous material layer has an evaporation surface and an accommodation space. The evaporation surface is disposed through and exposed from the housing surface. The evaporation surface and the accommodation space are in fluid communication with each other. The transporting tube is connected to the at least one porous material layer and in fluid communication with the accommodation space. The liquid is transported into the at least one accommodation space through the transporting tube and exposed from the evaporation surface. Thus, the liquid evaporates at the evaporation surface to reduce a temperature of the housing surface of the robot via convection and evaporation.

A self-contained actuator for use in a robot manipulator includes: a housing, in which are arranged in axial sequence a gear, a motor, a brake, a sensor and a motor drive.

Through the motor and some further components, there is provided a central channel for receiving a cable connected to at least one further actuator of the robot manipulator. The channel may be angled or straight. In embodiments where the motor drive is hollow, the central channel extends between the axial ends of the actuator. There is further provided an all-in-one industrial robot comprising a robot manipulator, in which one or more self-contained actuators with the above characteristics are installed and a robot controller is physically integrated.

A cooling device for a robot controller includes a servo driver having a circuit board and a heat generation element. The cooling device includes a fin member which is attached to the heat generation element, a temperature sensor, a heat conductive sheet which transmits heat generated in the heat generation element to the temperature sensor, a fan which generates an air flow toward the fin member, and a fan control part which controls the fan based on a detection value of the temperature sensor. The heat conductive sheet is disposed between the circuit board and the heat generation element in the servo driver and is contacted with both of the circuit board and the heat generation element, and the temperature sensor is provided on the circuit board and is covered by the heat conductive sheet.

A leg structure of a quadruped robot includes a body and four separate leg modules. Each leg module includes a thigh motor assembly, a calf motor assembly, a hip joint motor assembly and an associated linkage and fixing base of the hip joint motor assembly.
