The present disclosure shows a device for the automated establishment of a plug-in connection of a plug arranged at a cable to a plug mating element, such as for cabling battery modules, and in the manufacture of vehicles having hybrid and/or electric drives, comprising: a gripper for gripping the plug, a handling unit having a plurality of axes for moving the gripper, with it being a multi-axis robot and/or a surface portal, and a control for controlling the gripper and the handling unit. Provision is made in this process that the gripper comprises a plug-in actuator for moving the plug into a plugged-in position with the plug mating element.

A remote surveillance assembly includes a base that is positionable in a vehicle and a pole that is coupled to and extends upwardly from the base. A pan tilt zoom (PTZ) video camera is movably disposed on the pole to capture surveillance of the environment around the vehicle. A pair of articulated arms is each of the articulated arms is movably coupled to the pole. A pair of digital cameras is each coupled to a respective one of the articulated arms to capture surveillance of the environment around the vehicle. A digital video recorder is coupled to the base and a transceiver is coupled to the base. The transceiver is in wireless communication with an extrinsic communication network to broadcast the data stored in the digital video recorder to a remote data storage device.

A robotic medical system can include a motorized arm that is supported by a column of the system. The robotic arm can be operated by rotating a link of the motorized arm by actuating an actuator to drive rotation of a rotary joint. A brake can then be applied to the rotary joint to stop rotation of the link. The arm can also include an arbor that can be actuated to increase a torsional stiffness of the rotary joint.

A positioning apparatus with a pose measurement function includes a first and second kinematic links, a first measuring link attached to the second kinematic link, a joint connecting the first and second kinematic links, and a sensor capturing a measurement device. Either the measurement device or the sensor is arranged at the first measuring link and is movable jointly with the second kinematic link. The other one is arranged at the first kinematic link and is movable jointly with the first kinematic link. An attachment location of the first measuring link lies closer to an end of the second kinematic link that is remote from the joint than to the joint. The positioning apparatus is configured to ascertain, based on data captured by the sensor, a first relative pose value corresponding to the degree of freedom of the joint and a further relative pose value for another degree of freedom.

An assembly includes a first component including an arm having a first end and a second end, a plurality of nuts positioned within an interior of the arm, a yoke cap, a plurality of fasteners threadably coupled with the plurality of nuts to affix the yoke cap to the first end of the arm, and a second component positioned between the first end of the arm and the yoke cap. The second component is rotatable about an axis relative to the arm.

A self-contained robotic arm system includes: an operating platform; a robotic arm subsystem coupled to the operating platform; a control subsystem coupled to the operating platform and configured to effectuate movement of the robotic arm assembly; a mast assembly coupled to and configured to rotate with the robotic arm subsystem; and a machine vision system coupled to the mast assembly and configured to enable a user of the self-contained robotic arm system to visually monitor areas proximate the self-contained robotic arm system.

A robot that includes a first shaft unit in which a first motor drives a second member relative to a first member; a second shaft unit in which a second motor drives a fourth member relative to a third member; and a securing member that is provided in a detachable manner between the second member and the third member and that integrally secures the second member and the third member to each other.

A transfer robot includes a support unit, a rotary base supported by the support unit, a rotation mechanism that rotates the rotary base, a hand unit supported by the rotary base and configured to support a work, and a linear movement mechanism that moves the hand unit in a horizontal direction relative to the rotary base. The rotation mechanism includes a first rotation mechanism that rotates the rotary base relative to the support unit about a first rotation axis extending in a vertical direction, and a second rotation mechanism that rotates the rotary base about a second rotation axis inclined by a predetermined angle with respect to the first rotation axis. The support unit includes a pivotal member that pivots about a pivotal axis perpendicular to the first rotation axis.

A detachable, self-contained robotic arm system includes: a mounting subsystem configured to releasable engage an operating platform; a robotic arm subsystem coupled to the mounting subsystem; a control subsystem coupled to the mounting subsystem and configured to effectuate movement of the robotic arm assembly; and a connectivity subsystem configured to detachably couple the detachable, self-contained robotic arm system to one or more external systems.

A robot using the parallelogram principle, wherein the heads and the ends of two groups of swing arm components are hinged together, and each group forms two parallelogram hinged structures; wherein the workpiece gripped by the gripper can be kept in a horizontal position during the operational process, thereby improving the stability of gripping a workpiece. Additionally, the robot using the parallelogram principle comprises a base having a main shaft, which can rotate horizontally; one end of the main shaft comprises a main shaft servo motor for propelling the main shaft to rotate and the other end of the main shaft is connected to the swing arm components; wherein the main shaft servo motor further propels the swing arm components to swing in circumferential direction around the main shaft by propelling the main shaft.
