Abstract:
A robot cleaner is provided. The robot cleaner includes a plurality of bending tubes which are integrally connected along a longitudinal direction thereof and each of which is closed at one end and changes in volume depending on pressure in an internal space thereof, a pump device that adjusts the pressure in the internal space of each of the plurality of bending tubes, a head part disposed at one end of the plurality of bending tubes to suck air, a dust collection device that separates dust from the air sucked through the head part, and a dust collection tube that communicates the head part and the dust collection device.
Abstract:
A manipulator may include a base link having a ring shape; a first ring-shaped link having a ring shape and disposed to rotate at a predetermined angle at a front end of the base link; a second ring-shaped link having a ring shape and disposed to rotate at a predetermined angle at a front end of the first ring-shaped link; a first Borden cable and a second Borden cable connected to the first ring-shaped link and formed to rotate the first ring-shaped link; a third Borden cable and a fourth Borden cable connected to the second ring-shaped link and formed to rotate the second ring-shaped link; and a driving device that operates the first Borden cable, the second Borden cable, the third Borden cable, and the fourth Borden cable.
Abstract:
A manipulator and a method for controlling the manipulator are disclosed. The manipulator includes: a plurality of links respectively corresponding to a user’s upper arm, fore arm, and hand, a plurality of motors rotating the plurality of links, a communication interface comprising communication circuitry, a memory storing at least one instruction, and a processor configured to execute the at least one instruction, wherein the processor is configured to: based on first rotation angle information for motors corresponding to the upper arm and the fore arm among the plurality of motors, obtain information for a body frame of a link corresponding to the fore arm, obtain equilibrium angle information that positions the body frame in equilibrium with a specified reference frame, based on receiving a sensing value indicating the posture of the hand from an external sensor through the communication interface, obtain second rotation angle information for motors corresponding to the hand among the plurality of motors based on the sensing value and the equilibrium angle information, and control the motors corresponding to the hand based on the second rotation angle information.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a wearable apparatus includes a sensor, a processor coupled to the sensor, and a memory coupled to the processor that includes instructions executable by the processor. When executing the instructions, the processor detects by the sensor movement of at least a portion of an arm of a user; detects, based at least in part on the movement, a gesture made by the user; and processes the gesture as input to the wearable apparatus.
