A brake piloting system including a robotic device having at least one movable element, at least one brake which, when activated from an open configuration to an activated configuration, enables a deceleration or immobilization of the at least one movable element, at least one position sensor aimed at measuring a real time position of the at least one movable element and at least one the microcontroller being configured to activate in real time the at least one brake into a determined configuration.

A handling appliance, in particular a robot, includes at least one handling device that is movable in at least one direction of movement, a collision protection device configured for limiting contact forces due to collisions of the handling device with objects, and an acquisition device. The collision protection device includes a kinematic system that mechanically enables a relative movement of the handling device relative to the carrier of the handling device and that can be inhibited by at least one actuator device. The acquisition device determines forces acting on the actuator device and/or the handling device and on components of the collision protection device decoupled by the actuator device, and the collision protection device accounts for the forces and, via the actuator device, in the absence of a collision prevents, and in the case of a collision triggers and/or enables, relative movement of the handling device relative to the carrier.

A robot hand capable of rotating and inserting a workpiece into a hole, while preventing a workpiece from being damaged when the workpiece is gripped. The robot hand includes a first hand section, a second hand section provided with a workpiece gripping section capable of gripping a workpiece, an elastic member configured to connect the first hand section and the second hand section in an elastically displaceable manner, and a movement restricting mechanism configured to releasably restrict a rotation movement of an elastic displacement of the second hand section with respect to the first hand section.
