A compliance unit includes: a base plate extending along an XY plane; a table unit disposed movably with respect to the base plate along the XY plane; a compliance mechanism interposed between the base plate and the table unit so as to be movable in an X direction and a Y direction with respect to the base plate and the table unit; and an original position return mechanism configured to return the table unit and the compliance mechanism to an original position with respect to the base plate by pressing the table unit and the compliance mechanism from the outside toward the inside of the base plate.

A robot handling apparatus is disclosed for assembling a vehicle pane on a body section of a vehicle body in an assembly station. The handling apparatus includes an interface for coupling the handling apparatus to the robot device, and a holding device for holding the vehicle pane in a pane plane. The holding device is moveable in a first translational degree of freedom along XR-linear axis of the handling apparatus in an XR-direction relative to the interface and parallel to the pane plane. The holding device is also moveable in a second translational degree of freedom along the Y-linear axis of the handling apparatus in a Y-direction relative to the interface and parallel to the pane plane.

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.

A position detection system includes: a contactor including a tracing unit that traces and fits with a recess or a protrusion of an object; a slide member; a sliding unit that causes the slide member to slide in two directions; a moving unit that causes the contactor to move in a direction perpendicular to a plane so as to cause the tracing unit of the contactor to trace and fit with the recess or the protrusion of the object; a contactor detecting unit that detects a position of the contactor in the plane; and an object position detecting unit that detects the position of the object based on movement amount of the contactor before and after the slide member slides on the sliding unit to slide, when the tracing unit traces the recess or the protrusion.

An arm module includes a housing with a first connection side controllably rotatable relative to a second connection side, about an axis of rotation. The first connection side has a rotatable first connection device. The second connection side has a second connection device fixed to the housing, with a rotation-compatible data transmission device for transmitting data signals along at least one transmission path between the first and second connection sides. The transmission path includes at least one wireless transmission sub-path for wireless transmission of data signals, and at least one wire-guided transmission sub-path for wire-guided transmission of data signals. The rotation-compatible data transmission device includes at least one first wireless transmission unit and at least one second wireless transmission unit, interconnected via the transmission path and arranged to wirelessly transmit and receive data signals along the wireless transmission sub-path. An industrial robot can have a plurality of such arm modules.
