Abstract: A configuration that exerts floor reaction force directly to a force sensor in a foot of a legged mobile robot requires a sensor having a large withstand load. A foot (10f) includes an upper frame (44) that is connected to a movable leg and receives the load of a robot, a lower frame (48) that is deployed under the upper frame (44) and contacts with a walking surface, a high rigidity spring (50) attached the lower frame (48) and elastically supporting the upper frame (44) against the load, and a plurality of sensor mechanisms that detect floor reaction force at positions different from each other on the lower frame (48). Each of the sensor mechanisms includes a force sensor (62) attached to one of the upper frame (44) and the lower frame (48) and a sensor spring (52) that is an elastic body having rigidity lower than that of the high rigidity spring (50) and has a supporting point deployed on the other one of the upper frame (44) and the lower frame (48) so as to exert pressing force to the force sensor (62) according to a change of the distance between the upper frame (44) and the lower frame (48).

Abstract: A force sense presentation device 1 includes a base body 2 that is gripped by a hand of a user, a movable unit 3 having a finger placement portion 5 on which the user is to place a fingertip in a state in which the base body 2 is gripped by the user, and a moving mechanism that moves the movable unit 3 with respect to the base body 2. The base body 2 is held by two or more fingers. The finger placement portion 5 has a finger engagement portion 4 provided thereon uprightly in a direction different from a moving direction of the movable unit 3.

Abstract: A floor reaction force to a foot of a legged mobile robot is detected with a suitable degree of accuracy, by use of a strain sensor having comparatively low sensitivity. The foot includes an upper frame connected to a movable leg, a lower frame which is disposed under the upper frame and contacts with a walking surface, a strain generating member which is connected to the upper frame and the lower frame at different positions from each other in top plan view and undergoes bending deformation according to a change in distance or inclination between the instep member and the sole member, and a plurality of strain sensors disposed at positions different from each other on the strain generating member.

Abstract: A work of incorporating a speed reduction mechanism including a scissors gear into a gear case is facilitated. In a state where the angular positions of gear teeth of a first gear and the angular positions of gear teeth of a scissors gear are made to coincide with each other against the elastic force of a torsion spring (19), these angular positions are fixed by a fixing member (position fixing step). The first gear, the scissors gear, and a second gear are housed in a gear case, and the gear teeth of the second gear are made to engage with the gear teeth of the first gear and the gear teeth of the scissors gear (gear incorporating step). The fixing of the angular position of the first gear and the angular position of the scissors gear by the fixing member is released through an opening formed in the gear case.
