Publication number: 20240058949Abstract: A drive unit for a robot, having an input shaft, an input shaft drive motor and a strain wave gear mechanism for transmission to an output shaft. The strain wave gear mechanism has a wave generator which is operatively connected to the input shaft, a flexible ring and a toothed ring are connectable to the output shaft, a first sensor for detecting an angular position of the input shaft and a second sensor for detecting the angular position of the output shaft. In order to allow the drive unit to precisely adjust the angular position of the output shaft to each setpoint angular position, the drive unit has a third sensor for detecting an expansion of the flexible ring.

Publication number: 20160332303Abstract: A robot includes an angular velocity sensor that detects the vibration of a robot. A control device allows the robot to perform a trial operation and acquires the measurement result measured by the angular velocity sensor during the trial operation as vibration information and analyzes the acquired vibration information based on maker evaluating information that is stored in a database. In the maker evaluating information, vibration information and the operating speed appropriate to the installation situation of the robot at which the vibration information is measured are associated with each other. Then, the robot is operated at an operating speed selected based on the analysis result of the vibration information.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2016Publication date: November 17, 2016Inventor: Daisuke KIRIHARA
