Disclosed is a transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment apparatus applicable to the technical field of medical devices, comprising a TMS coil, a support, a mechanical arm, a controller, and a positioning device. The positioning device detects the position of a human head and the TMS coil and sends positional information to the controller; the controller controls six driving mechanisms of the mechanical arm to rotate to a corresponding angle. Because the mechanical arm has six degrees of freedom, the TMS coil is capable of stimulating each cerebral region of the brain, and the positioning device is capable of detecting an accurate position of the human head, thereby controlling the mechanical arm to accurately position the TMS coil on the human head, and to reduce manual operation.

In a robot, each of a first flexible member and a second flexible member has a portion fixed to an n-th arm, a portion that is fixed to an (n+1)-th arm, and a portion that is positioned between the n-th arm and the (n+1)-th arm and is wound around a member in a folded state. The portion of the first flexible member that is fixed to the n-th arm is positioned on the member side from the portion of the second flexible member that is fixed to the n-th arm. The portion of the second flexible member that is fixed to the (n+1)-th arm is positioned on the member side from the portion of the first flexible member that is fixed to the (n+1)-th arm.

A parallel robot is equipped with: a base plate that is provided so as to be capable of sliding movement; three link mechanisms disposed radially when viewed from the normal direction of the base plate; and three lower motors with reduction gears that are disposed on the base plate and are connected separately to the base ends of the three link mechanisms. A plurality of parallel robots are disposed so that the respective orientations of the three link mechanisms alternate.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to methods, computer program products, and computer systems of a robotic apparatus with robotic instructions replicating a food preparation recipe. In one embodiment, a robotic control platform, comprises one or more sensors; a mechanical robotic structure including one or more end effectors, and one or more robotic arms; an electronic library database of minimanipulations; a robotic planning module configured for real-time planning and adjustment based at least in part on the sensor data received from the one or more sensors in an electronic multi-stage process file, the electronic multi-stage process recipe file including a sequence of minimanipulations and associated timing data; a robotic interpreter module configured for reading the minimanipulation steps from the minimanipulation library and converting to a machine code; and a robotic execution module configured for executing the minimanipulation steps by the robotic platform to accomplish a functional result.

A robot arm includes a distal end unit having a gripping part and a first supporting part that supports the gripping part, a first drive unit that, with an axis along a direction in which the gripping part and the first supporting part are arranged as a first axis, pivots the gripping part about a first pivot axis along the first axis relative to the first supporting part, a second supporting part that supports the first supporting part, and a second drive unit that, with an axis orthogonal to the first axis as a second axis, pivots the distal end unit about a second pivot axis along the second axis relative to the second supporting part, wherein the first drive unit includes a piezoelectric motor, and the second pivot axis crosses the distal end unit.

Robotic automation and methods described herein can be used to enhance the efficiencies of freight shipping processes. For example, this document describes the use of automated systems and methods for densely loading cargo into freight carriers (e.g., semi-trailers) in an efficient manner. Some such systems can include one or more movable robots that can travel along an open side or open top of a semi-trailer to autonomously load parcels into the trailer in a densely packed manner. The disclosed systems and methods allow for the reduction or elimination of manual labor for loading shipping trailers in a very dense manner.

An electronic movement-controlled apparatus that includes a camera and a movable arm is disclosed. The movable arm has both a stationary end and a movable end with the camera being attached to the movable end so as to be movable therewith. The stationary end is configured to be coupled to a rigid support structure. The movable arm includes a plurality of arm segments connected in series to form the movable arm. The arm segments are configured to have cooperating segment regions in terms of each of the arm segments being compressible and expandable in unison to move the movable end and effect a pan and tilt movement of the camera.

A robot includes an ingredient mold configured to cool food ingredients into solid ingredients; a storage container spaced from the ingredient mold and having a storage space configured to store the solid ingredients; a cooling chamber formed therein with a cooling space in which the storage container is accommodated; a cooler configured to cool the cooling space; and a guide configured to guide the solid ingredients dropped from the ingredient mold to the storage space.

A robot includes an ingredient mold configured to process food ingredients into solid ingredients; a storage container configured to store the solid ingredients processed in the ingredient mold; a transfer tube through which the solid ingredients in the storage container pass; a feed tube connected to the transfer tube, formed with an ingredient port, and having a passage configured to guide ingredients to the ingredient port; and a feeder configured to feed the solid ingredients, which are moved to the feed tube, to the ingredient port.

A robot includes a robot arm formed with an ingredient channel including an ingredient inlet and an ingredient outlet; an ingredient feeder having an ingredient port configured to discharge ingredients; and a carrier configured to move the robot arm to a connection position where the ingredient inlet is connected to the ingredient port, and move the robot arm to an area where the ingredient inlet is separated from the ingredient port.
