The complete robot includes a manipulator module, a trunk module, a chassis moving module and a control module. The manipulator module comprises at least three manipulators, which are connected with the trunk module by linear modules. The trunk module comprises a trunk body and four linear modules, which are connected with the chassis moving module by bolts. The chassis moving module comprises a plurality of omnidirectional wheels and a telescopic counterweight. The control module includes an actuator module, an operation module, an information acquisition module, a motion control module, a data processing module, a communication module and an early warning module.

A surgical robot includes robot arms, an arm base, and a control device. Each of the robot arms includes a base portion, a tip portion that can hold a medical instrument, and links. The link adjacent to the base portion is connected to the base portion through a rotational joint. The control device controls the robot arm having at least seven degrees of freedom among the robot arms such that when viewed from a direction parallel to an axial direction of a rotation axis of the rotational joint, a first portion of a first link is located between a second portion of the base portion and a third portion of the tip portion.

A cooking system comprises a robot; and a memory storing computer executable instructions which, when executed, cause the robot to execute a plurality of operations comprising: a first operation including picking up a cooking auxiliary tool in which a cooking target is set in a first section, conveying the cooking auxiliary tool to a second section, and causing the cooking target in the cooking auxiliary tool to undergo first cooking processing in the second section; and a second operation including conveying the cooking auxiliary tool storing the cooking target having undergone the first cooking processing in the second section to a third section. A duct is arranged in an upper space of the second section, the robot has a proximal end that is fixed to a vertical wall member, and the proximal end of the robot is attached to the wall member at a location away from the second section.

A testing system collects a specimen from a subject and measures the collected specimen to test the specimen, and includes a box to allow at least one of specimen collection for collecting and receiving the specimen, preprocessing for processing the collected specimen before measurement, or specimen measurement for measuring the preprocessed specimen to be performed therein.

A substrate processing apparatus including a frame, a SCARA arm mounted to the frame at a shoulder joint having two links with at least one end effector dependent therefrom, the links defining an upper arm and a forearm, each end effector pivotally joined to the forearm at a wrist to rotate about a wrist axis, and a drive section with at least one degree of freedom operably coupled to the arm to rotate the arm about a shoulder axis articulating extension and retraction, wherein the end effector is coupled to a wrist joint pulley so that extension and retraction effects rotation of the pulley and end effector as a unit about the wrist axis, and wherein a height of the end effector is within a stack height profile of the wrist joint so that a total stack height is sized to conform with and pass through a pass-through of a slot valve.

A holding device according to the present invention is a holding device that holds a workpiece having flexibility. A controller sets the workpiece to a reference state in such a manner that with first and second holding mechanisms holding the workpiece, a moving mechanism moves at least one of the first and second holding mechanisms in a length direction based on a length, detected by a detector, of the workpiece in a held state and a length, prestored in a storage, of the workpiece in a reference state.

The present disclosure relates to a system for adjusting wheel alignment of a vehicle, the system including a base configured to be moved by a robot. The system further includes an adjustment arm movably disposed on the base and configured to be moved by an actuator. The system further includes a fixing unit provided at an upper end of the adjustment arm and configured to fix a bolt head or a nut. The system further includes a control unit configured to control the robot to allow the base to enter a toe adjustment part or a camber adjustment part for a vehicle suspension, the control unit being configured to control the actuator to allow the fixing unit of the adjustment arm to manipulate a bolt and a nut of the toe adjustment part or the camber adjustment part to adjust the wheel alignment of the vehicle.

A wheelchair comprising a mechanical arm for assisting a user is disclosed. The mechanical arm includes a first arm mounted to a first armrest of the wheelchair. The mechanical arm includes a second arm mounted to the first arm via a first swivel rod. The second arm is made to swivel with respect to the first arm. The mechanical arm includes a third arm mounted to the second arm. The third arm is made to swivel with respect to the second arm. The mechanical arm includes claws. The wheelchair includes a controller provided at a second armrest of the wheelchair. The controller is used to operate the first arm, the second arm and the third arm to align the mechanical arm with an object. The controller is also used to operate the claws for gripping and releasing an object.

Disclosed herein are various medical device components, including components that can be incorporated into robotic and/or in vivo medical devices. Also disclosed are various medical devices for in vivo medical procedures. Included herein, for example, is a surgical robotic device having an elongate device body, a right robotic arm coupled to a right shoulder assembly, and a left robotic arm coupled to a left shoulder assembly.

An approach to positioning one or more robotic arms in an assembly system may be described herein. For example, an apparatus may include a first robotic arm having a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end may be configured for movement and the proximal end may secure the first robotic arm. The apparatus may further include a camera connected with the distal end of the first robotic arm. The camera may be configured to capture image data of a marker connected with a second robotic arm and provide the image data to a computer. The computer may generate a set of instructions for the first robotic arm based on the image data of the marker. The movement of the first robotic arm may be caused by the computer according to the generated set of instructions.
