Abstract:
The present invention relates to a robot neck joint structure including: a head plate of a robot; a rolling drive unit for supporting the head plate and performing a rolling motion in a left and right direction; a pitching drive unit for supporting the rolling drive unit and the head plate and performing a pitching motion in a forward and backward direction; and a yawing drive unit for supporting the pitching drive unit, the rolling drive unit and the head plate and performing axial rotation at the same place. Therefore, since composite movements such as rolling, pitching and yawing of a head plate are allowed in order to implement motions like movement of a head of a human being, motions and expressions similar to the movement of a head of a human being can be implemented, and familiarity of persons to robots can be increased by stimulating interest and curiosity about the robots through a variety of performances.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system and method for operating a smart service robot. The system comprises: an integrated control server for storing and managing a plurality of service applications and providing a relevant service application according to a service application request from an intelligent service robot; and the intelligent service robot for requesting a specific service application from the integrated control server and downloading the application in order to provide a corresponding service. Accordingly, according to the present invention, when a user using the intelligent service robot needs an application which is related to the operation of the intelligent service robot and which is for a specific purpose, the application for the specific purpose may be easily downloaded online in order to be applied to the intelligent service robot of the user. Thus, the services that the robot provides may be optimized for certain purposes and used.
Abstract:
A spherical joint for coupling three or more links together at one point. The joint includes a bail and a hollow spherical body wrapping the ball therein. The ball is movable in the hollow spherical body. An upper link inserted into and fixed to the hollow spherical body through an upper link insertion opening formed on the hollow spherical body. Lower links are connected to the hollow spherical body through lower link insertion openings, wherein the number of the lower links correspond to that of the hollow spherical body. Link support discs are set within a gap between outer surface of the central ball and inner surface of the hollow spherical body and fixed to each end of the lower link, and all the axes of the lower links and the upper link are coincident with a center point of the ball.
