Abstract: A linear/rotary motion transforming device is disclosed. The device includes a first member, a second member, and a third member disposed along an axis such that the second member is disposed between the first member and the third member. The second member is linearly movable along the axis and rotatable about the axis. The third member is rotatable about the axis. Connecting elements pivotally couple the first member and the second member, and the second member and the third member, offset from the axis. The first member and the second member are linearly and rotatably movable relative to one another, and the second member and the third member are linearly and rotatably movable relative to one another. A load input mechanism is operably coupled to the second member or the third member. Load output is transferred via the other of the second member or the third member.

Abstract: A rotary actuation mechanism is disclosed. The rotary actuation mechanism can include an actuator having a body, and a slider movable on a linear path relative to the body. A first linkage can be pivotally coupled to the body at a first pivot having a first axis. A second linkage can be pivotally coupled to the slider at a second pivot having a second axis, and pivotally coupled to the first linkage at a third pivot. A length of the first linkage between the first pivot and the third pivot can be equal to a length of the second linkage between the second pivot and the third pivot. The slider can be movable to position the second axis in a collinear relationship with the first axis. The rotary actuation mechanism can include an anti-singularity device to constrain movement of the body when the first axis and the second axis are in the collinear relationship.

Abstract: An end effector for a robotic arm is disclosed. The end effector includes a grasping apparatus having a gripping member and an appendage extending from the gripping member forming a channel between the griping member and the appendage. The channel is configured to receive at least a portion of an article, such as a latch for a container, to be manipulated by the end effector.

Abstract: A device and method for adjusting the magnetic strength of a magnetic end effector for lift systems is described. The magnetic end effector is capable of lifting discriminate payloads by selectively varying the strength of the magnetic forces output by the magnetic end effector. An actuator can be operatively coupled to the variable strength magnet end effector, wherein the actuator is selectively actuatable to control the adjustment of the variable strength magnet. The actuator may also be configured to maintain the variable strength magnet at a desired magnetic force output strength once achieved for any given amount of time.
