  • Collaborative device with optimised control
    Patent number: 11872697
    Abstract: A collaborative device includes: a robotic arm including at least one motor; a tool secured to a free end of the robotic arm; a computer unit connected to the robotic arm to transmit instructions for controlling the robotic arm; and a joint having a flexible connection. The device integrates at least one sensor parameterised to detect forces exerted on the flexible connection. The computer unit is configured to: receive data from the sensor; translate the data into torques applied at the motor(s) of the robotic arm; generate instructions for attenuating the applied torques; and control the motor(s) of the robotic arm with the attenuation instructions.
