The disclosure relates to a robot, for example for patient positioning, comprising a robot arm with a plurality of robot elements, which are connected to one another by means of shaft units. The shaft units define a respective at least one movement axis of the robot arm. The robot arm comprises a first end region, which permits an arrangement in a surrounding area of the robot, and a second end region, on which an end effector can be arranged. A first shaft unit arranged after the first end region defines a first rotational axis of the robot arm. The robot arm can be arranged in the surrounding area by means of the first end region in such a way that the first rotational axis runs at an angle transverse to the surrounding area.

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.

A purpose is to prevent a first connection piece string from colliding against a second connection piece string in a robot arm mechanism including a linear extension and retraction joint. In the robot arm mechanism having the linear extension and retraction joint, the linear extension and retraction joint includes an arm section, and an ejection section for supporting the arm section, the arm section includes a first connection piece string 21 made by a plurality of first connection pieces, and a second connection piece string made by a plurality of second connection pieces, the second connection piece string is sent out forward from the ejection section together with the first connection piece string in a state where the second connection piece string is joined to the first connection piece string, and a flexible guide rail for separating the first connection piece string from the second connection piece string and guiding the second connection piece string to the ejection section is interposed between the first connection piece string and the second connection piece string behind the ejection section.

Unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) includes a rotary joint having an axis of rotation. A rotary joint actuator is responsive to at least one control signal and is configured to cause a rotatable portion of the rotary joint to rotate relative to the vehicle chassis about the rotary joint axis of rotation. A stabilizer flipper having an elongated length is attached to the rotatable portion. Consequently, rotation of the rotatable portion about the rotary joint axis of rotation results in a change of orientation of the stabilizer flipper relative to the chassis. This change in orientation can range between a lateral direction and an longitudinal direction with respect to the vehicle chassis.

A robot includes a body, a first arm, and a second arm. The first arm includes one joint, an adjacent joint that is adjacent to the one joint, and another adjacent joint that is adjacent to the adjacent joint. When the first arm is extended in a vertical orientation relative to the body, the one joint of the first arm has a rotation axis that is offset by a first distance in a first horizontal direction from a rotation axis of the adjacent joint of the first arm, and the another adjacent joint of the first arm has a rotation axis that is offset by a second distance in a second horizontal direction from the rotation axis of the adjacent joint of the first arm. The first horizontal direction is opposite to the second horizontal direction.

A robot includes: a base; an arm which is provided to be rotatable with respect to the base using a predetermined rotation shaft as the center of rotation; and an elongated object including a portion present in the base and in the arm, in which the elongated object is bound in a first binding position which is on the rotation shaft and in the base and a second binding position which is on the rotation shaft and in the arm.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a manipulator for a finishing work, including: a base; an arm comprising a plurality of links, a plurality of joints connecting the plurality of links, and a plurality of actuators generating rotation of at least some of the plurality of joints; and a processor determining a driving torque of each of the plurality of actuators considering a self-weight effect of the manipulator and controlling the plurality of actuators based on the determined driving torque.

A robot unit includes: a first link forming a center of rotation of the robot unit; a second link configured to perform a revolution motion or a rotation motion based on the center of rotation when rotated about the first link; first members, each of which is provided between the first link and the second link; drivers, each of which is provided in a direction that faces the first link and is configured to provide driving forces to the first members; wires configured to transmit the driving forces of the drivers to the first members; and second members, each of which is provided on the first link and the second link, is wound by the wires, and is configured to perform a revolution motion or a rotation motion along with the first link and the second link in a case where each of the first members is driven.

A motorized arm for a robotic medical system can include a shoulder coupled to a column of a table by a translational joint that allows translation of the shoulder along the column, a first link rotationally coupled to the column, a second link rotational coupled to the first link, and an arm support coupled to a distal end of the second link. The arm support can be configured to support one or more robotic arms usable during a robotic medical procedures. The motorized arm can include actuators for driving rotation of the links and arbors that can be engaged to increase the torsional stiffness of the motorized arm. The motorized arm can move the arm support between a stowed position below the table to a deployed position.

A wire-body processing structure for a robot including a base, a rotary drum rotating about a first axis, and an arm rotating about a second axis. The rotary drum has a hollow part extending from inside the base, along the first axis, and opening in a top surface of the rotary drum. The wire body inside the base is led out, via the hollow part, from the opening in the top surface of the rotary drum, is bent to the rear side of the rotary drum, is guided below the arm, is fixed to the rotary drum with a first fixing member, is bent along the arm, and is fixed to a side surface of the arm with a second fixing member, with a certain surplus of a length between the first fixing member and the second fixing member.
