A power supplying module that can be reduced in size is provided. The power supplying module includes a module body, and a lead-in unit provided on one surface of the module body. The lead-in unit includes a plate unit that fixes at least one sealing tube to the one surface of the module body, and at least one circumference holding unit that holds a circumference of the corresponding sealing tube. The plate unit is provided with, in a longitudinal direction of the one surface of the module body, a plurality of cable insertion holes, and a plurality of positioning portions that position the plurality of circumference holding units to the corresponding cable insertion holes.

A robot includes a manipulator, in which a handle for moving the manipulator can be attached and detached in a plurality of positions of the manipulator.

A robotic device is provided. The robotic device includes a first detachable digit, including a first connector piece. The robotic device also includes a digit mounting apparatus, including a first pivot joint and a second connector piece coupled to the first pivot joint, where the second connector piece is configured to mate with the first connector piece of the first detachable digit. The robotic device also includes an actuator configured to pivot the first pivot joint about a first axis to cause the second connector piece of the digit mounting apparatus to mate with the first connector piece of the first detachable digit to attach the first detachable digit to the digit mounting apparatus.

The system includes a robot interface disposed on a robot arm, and an end effector configured to selectively couple to the robot arm via the robot interface. The end effector includes an upper jaw, a lower jaw, and a pair of arms configured to carry a substrate. The upper jaw and the lower jaw are spaced apart in a first direction and biased together, and the pair of arms are spaced apart in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. When the end effector is coupled to the robot arm, the robot interface is disposed between the upper jaw and the lower jaw. To exchange the end effector, the upper jaw and the lower jaw can be separated to release the robot interface.

A tool interchange for a submersible remote operated vehicle (ROV) arm includes a first interchange body that affixes to an ROV arm. A second interchange body is carried by the first interchange body to rotate on a rotation axis. The second interchange body includes a tool mount actuable between gripping an ROV tool to the second interchange body and releasing the ROV tool from the second interchange body. An inductive power coupling part is provided in the tool mount. The inductive power coupling part is presented outwardly in the tool mount opposite the first interchange body, resides on the rotation axis and is fixed with respect to the first interchange body while the second interchange body rotates. 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.

In a component mounting device, a head held by a head holding section is automatically exchanged from one of a pickup head attached with a suction nozzle that holds and releases component, and a dispensing head with a dispensing tool that dispenses adhesive, to the other of the heads. When the pickup head is held, a nozzle camera images the suction nozzles at nozzle positions attached to the pickup head from the side using an optical system unit and acquires suction nozzle image data. When the dispensing head is held, the nozzle camera images a dispensing nozzle positioned at the center axis of the head holding body from the side using the optical system unit and acquires dispensing nozzle image data. Component related inspection is performed based on the suction nozzle image data and dispensing related inspection is performed based on the dispensing nozzle image data.

Provided is a small-sized robot device having high versatility without decreasing the work efficiency. The robot device includes: an arm; a hand or a tweezer tool that includes a stereo camera for measuring a three-dimensional position of a workpiece, the hand or the tweezer tool performing a work with respect to the workpiece whose three-dimensional position has been measured by the stereo camera; and a connection portion or a hand provided at a distal end of the arm, the connection portion or the hand releasably connecting the hand or the tweezer tool to the arm.

A tool changer 30 with a master half 32 and tool half 34. A securing mechanism has a clasp 70 and a cam 72. The clasps 70 move between a release position and a grasping position. In the grasping position, the master 32 and tool halves 34 are secured together with one another. The cam 72 moves the clasps 70 between the release and grasping positions. From a release position, the master half 32 engages the tool half 34. The master half 32 moves laterally with respect to the tool half 34. This, in turn, moves the cam 72, and thus the clasps, from their release positions to their grasping positions. In the grasping position, the clasps 70 grasp the tool half 34, the cam locks 72 in its grasping position and the master 32 and tool 34 halves secure with one another.

An attachment device includes a robot-engaging portion having a recess formed in an outer surface thereof for receiving a finger of a robot. The attachment device also includes a tool-engaging portion coupled to the robot-engaging portion. The tool-engaging portion is configured to be coupled to a tool that is to be used by the robot to perform a task. A damping member is positioned at least partially between the robot-engaging portion and the tool-engaging portion. The damping member is configured to be adjusted to vary a magnitude of oscillations that are transferred from the tool-engaging portion to the robot-engaging portion.

An interior grasper is described with an actuator that can be adjusted between a clamped position and a released position, and an axially adjustable clamping cone that is allocated to the actuator and that engages a clamping element. The clamping element is formed in one piece with the holding plate and interacts with a tool and/or a work piece.
