The inductive power coupling part is adapted to inductively communicate power with a corresponding inductor power coupling part of the ROV tool when the ROV tool is docked in the tool mount.

A quick change end effector system for use with a robot includes: a quick change end effector configured for application to a task to be completed by a robot, the quick change end effector further comprising an end effector magnet; and a robotic manipulator configured to lock to the end effector, the robotic manipulator further configured to use the end effector to complete the task, the robotic manipulator comprising a manipulator magnet, the manipulator magnet being configured to magnetically attract the end effector magnet, thereby locking the manipulator in a mechanically strong connection to the quick change end effector, wherein upon disengagement of the magnetic attraction locking the manipulator to the quick change end effector, the quick change end effector can be quickly removed from the manipulator.

A wireless power transmission system includes a power transmission apparatus, a power reception apparatus, a load driving apparatus, and a power control apparatus. The power control apparatus includes a direct current power supply, a main control circuit, and a communicator. Each time an operation load to be achieved by the load driving apparatus changes, the main control circuit updates a load instruction value for the load driving apparatus and a control parameter for adjusting a voltage of first alternating current power, the control parameter being used by the power transmission apparatus to convert first direct current power into the first alternating current power. The power transmission apparatus includes an inverter circuit and a power transmission control circuit that determines the voltage of the first alternating current power on the basis of the control parameter updated by the power control apparatus and that controls the inverter circuit.

A wireless power transmission system includes a power transmitting device, power receiving device, and load. The power transmitting device includes an inverter circuit, power transmitting antenna, power transmission control circuit, and transmitting-side receiver. The power receiving device includes a power receiving antenna, rectifying circuit, and receiving-side transmitter. The power transmission control circuit causes the inverter circuit to output preliminary AC power to activate the power receiving device. The receiving-side transmitter transmits, to the power transmitting device, control information of the power receiving device including (i) a coupling coefficient between the power transmitting antenna and the power receiving antenna, (ii) requested voltage of the power receiving device, and (iii) load impedance of the load. The power transmission control circuit determines the control parameter based on the control information by referring to the table, based on the control information, and adjusts the voltage and frequency of the AC power output from the inverter circuit using the control parameter.

A robot integrated joint unit and a legged robot applying same are related to the technical field of robot joints. The robot integrated joint unit comprises a first electric motor and reducer assembly, a second electric motor assembly, a second reducer assembly, and a first output connecting rod. Two motors of two joints are disposed on a same side of the joints, thus preventing the need for electric motor power cables to run through the joints, effectively alleviating fatigue damage of the electric motor power cables, and extending the service life of the electric motor cables. The electric motor components and the joint connecting rod obviate the need to reserve dedicated cable through holes and a cable placement mechanism, thus allowing enhanced structural reliability; further increasing the degree of integration of a dual joint unit, reducing the axial size of the joint unit, and enhancing structural visual appeal.
