Abstract: A braking device for a drive device of a joint between two links of a robot arm including a brake activating device and a locking element, wherein the brake activating device is designed to bring the locking element into engagement with a rotor of the drive device as required in order to halt rotation of the rotor, the locking element being designed as a bolt and the braking element being designed as a braking star with webs which have a defined impact surface for the bolt.

Abstract: A device to detect medical status of a person, including a robot manipulator to receive and handle effectors, each effector enabling a selected activity; a first unit to determine a current state ZRM(t) of the robot manipulator and a current state of an effector; a second unit to determine a current position LKT,AKTk(t) of a person's body part related to the selected activity in a working region of the robot manipulator; a third unit to determine a wrench KW(t) acting on the robot manipulator; a fourth unit to specify target data and permissible deviations for the selected activity; and a control unit to control the robot manipulator upon specification of the selected activity as a function of: ZRM(t), LKT,AKTk(t), KW(t), target data, and permissible deviations, such that when a permissible deviation is exceeded, the robot manipulator and the effector are placed into a safe state based on the selected activity.

Abstract: A simulation method of specifying a relative position between a first base of a first robot manipulator and a second base of a second robot manipulator, including: determining a first working area of the first robot manipulator, wherein the first working area determines a finite plurality of tuples from possible positions of the first end effector and possible orientations of the first end effector in respective positions of the first end effector; determining, for each of a specified plurality of possible relative positions between the first base and the second base, a number of the tuples from the first working area as evaluation variables, for which a second end effector is capable of being positioned in a predefined orientation and/or at a predefined distance relative to the first end effector; and determining and outputting the relative position between the first base and the second base with a highest evaluation variable.

Abstract: System and method of learning and executing mutually coordinated paths of robot manipulators, including: manually guiding a first reference point of a first robot manipulator over a desired first path, acquiring the first path or acquiring a first set of poses for the first path and storing the first path or the first set of poses in a first data set, automatically traveling along the first path according to the first data set, while automatically traveling along the first path, manually guiding a second reference point of a second robot manipulator over a desired second path, acquiring the second path or acquiring a second set of poses for the second path and storing the second path or the second set of poses in a second data set, wherein the second data set is assigned to the first data set so that a location of the first path is at least approximately assigned to each location of the second path, and traveling along the first path by the first robot manipulator according to the first data set synchronized

Abstract: A mobile robot including a mobile base element and at least one multi-jointed manipulator, wherein the robot includes several telemedical devices. The invention also relates to a robot for performing a movement sequence together with a limb of a human with the help of a manipulator.
