  • Publication number: 20250033229
    Abstract: A motion system includes a linear actuation system having a plurality of actuators of a first-type and at least a first kinematic link connected by an eighth joint to the plurality of first-type actuators; a first subsystem comprising a linear actuation system connected to a fourth kinematic link by a first revolute joint; a second subsystem comprising the first subsystem connected to a ground plate, the linear actuation system connected to the ground plate by a third joint and to a fifth kinematic link by a fourth joint. The second kinematic link is connected to the first subsystem; a wrist element is connectable to at least one tool element, wherein the wrist element is connected to the second subsystem, wherein the wrist element and the second subsystem generate a coordinated movement such that the tool element is movable relative to the ground plate.

  • Publication number: 20250035186
    Abstract: A belt includes a plurality of elements connected to each other having a first link element and at least a second link element connected to each other by a connecting bridge member; wherein each of the link elements has a body from which a first bump element and opposite to the first bump element a second bump element elevates; wherein both bump elements are configured in a tooth-like shape; and at least a flat-shaped inlay element of a flexible material that is embedded inside the belt in the first link element and the connecting bridge member.
