Patent number: 10065309Abstract: A displacement measuring cell may be used to measure linear and/or angular displacement. The displacement measuring cell may include movable and stationary electrodes in a conductive fluid. Electrical property measurements may be used to determine how far the movable electrode has moved relative to the stationary electrode. The displacement measuring cell may include pistons and/or flexible walls. The displacement measuring cell may be used in a touch-sensitive robotic gripper. The touch-sensitive robotic gripper may include a plurality of displacement measuring cells mechanically in series and/or parallel. The touch-sensitive robotic gripper may be include a processor and/or memory configured to identify objects based on displacement measurements and/or other measurements. The processor may determine how to manipulate the object based on its identity.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2017Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: QUALITY MANUFACTURING INC.Inventors: Jeffrey A. Rose, James Adam Rose, Stephen D. Rose, Raymond Cooper, Jeffrey John Sweda

Publication number: 20180094652Abstract: A dual directional actuator may be linked to another actuator, device, object, or joint (e.g., a robotic limb or the like). A linkage mechanism may securely couple the actuator to the other actuator, device, object, or joint. Additionally, a piston axle bridge may couple the piston of the actuator to an internal or external axle. The dual directional actuator may be coupled to manifolds with integrated tee fittings to eliminate hoses external to a joint comprising one or more dual directional actuators.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2017Publication date: April 5, 2018Inventors: Jeffrey A. ROSE, James Adam ROSE

Patent number: 9375852Abstract: A rotational hydraulic joint may include an extension chamber and a retraction chamber. Each chamber may include an end cap and a piston that moves relative to the end cap. One or more ports may add and remove fluid from the chamber. The rotational hydraulic joint may rotate in a cyclical direction when fluid is added to the extension chamber and in a countercyclical direction when fluid is added to the retraction chamber. The chambers may each include a torus-shaped cavity. Bladders may prevent fluid from leaking out of the rotational hydraulic joint. Stationary and movable electrodes may be coupled to the end cap and piston respectively. A plurality of rotational hydraulic joints may be combined to create a compound joint.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2013Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Quality Manufacturing Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey A.

Patent number: 9156172Abstract: A robot skeletal component may be configured to support and power a robot. The skeletal component may include an elongated inner core and a battery coupled to and substantially circumscribing the inner core. The robot skeletal component may be configured to connect to a joint via a quick release flange. A casing may enclose the battery. The casing may be configured to seal punctures. The robot skeletal component may include a heating element to heat the battery. The robot skeletal component may be configured to transport fluid, data, and/or electrical power. The inner core may include a plurality of surface elements to transfer data and/or electrical power. The inner core may include a hollow interior, and the hollow interior may include a plurality of non-interconnected chambers configured to transfer fluid. The inner core may include insulators to insulate the inner core from the surface elements and/or the fluid.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2013Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: Quality Manufacturing Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey A.
