Abstract: The invention refers to a robot foot (1001), a robot foot adapter (1002), a robot leg section (1003), a robot leg assembly (1004) and a method for manufacturing the robot foot. The robot foot (1001) comprises a solid body (1) with a surface and an attachment section (13) adapted to mount the robot foot (1001) to a robot or a robot foot adapter (1002). In addition, the robot foot (1001) comprises a foot pad (2). The foot pad (2) comprises an elastomer material. The foot pad (2) covers the first section (11) of the solid body (1) and positively engages in a non-detachable manner with the first section (11) in a direction (d) of a longitudinal axis (100) of the solid body (1).

Abstract: A support arrangement for additive manufacturing, the support arrangement including a base structure; and a plurality of elongated support elements for supporting a three-dimensional object during additive manufacture of the three-dimensional object, each support element having a longitudinal axis and being independently movable relative to the base structure along the associated longitudinal axis; wherein at least one of the support elements is rotatable about the associated longitudinal axis. An additive manufacturing device including a support arrangement, and a method of producing a three-dimensional object, are also provided.

Abstract: A method of producing a three-dimensional object, the method including providing an object model of the three-dimensional object; providing a candidate support structure model of one or more support structures for the three-dimensional object based on the object model; selecting a removal strategy among a plurality of candidate removal strategies for removal of the one or more support structures from the three-dimensional object based on the object model; modifying the candidate support structure model based on the selected removal strategy to provide a modified support structure model; forming the three-dimensional object based on the object model, and the one or more support structures supporting the three-dimensional object based on the modified support structure model, by means of additive manufacturing; and removing the one or more support structures from the three-dimensional object based on the selected removal strategy.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for programming robots by operators without expertise in specialized robot programming languages. In the method, inputs are received from the operator generically describing a desired robot movement. The system then uses the operator inputs to translate the desired robot movement into software commands that direct the robot to perform the desired robot movement. The robot may then be programmed with the software commands and operated to perform the desired robot movement.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for programming robots by users without expertise in specialized robot programming languages. In the method, a high-level description is provided by the user to a translator. The translator translates the description into a transformation. A transformer applies the transformation to an existing robot trajectory in order to provide an updated robot trajectory. The updated robot trajectory is then used to operate the robot.
