Patent number: 7221999Abstract: When an operator attempts to move a robot from a current position to a desired position, she/he operates a manipulator lever (26) corresponding to a desired direction of a manipulator (23) of a remote control device (22), for example, a number of times corresponding to a predetermined moving amount in the moving direction. At this point, the moving amount for each moving direction depending on this number of operations is set, and a leg of the robot is actuated according to a setting value of the moving amount for each moving direction to move the robot. The moving amount that can be set by the operation of the manipulator lever (26) has a relatively small moving amount that the robot may be moved by performing a lifting/landing action once for each of the legs of the robot, and a relatively large moving amount requiring multiple walking steps of the lifting/landing action for each leg of the robot.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2002Date of Patent: May 22, 2007Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Shigeo Sano

Patent number: 6789338Abstract: A remote controller for a biped robot is of a simple arrangement capable of remotely controlling movement of the biped robot while taking into account the stability of the attitude of the robot. A manipulation unit 23 outputs, to a robot A, signals representative of manipulated positions of manipulator levers 26, 26 which correspond respectively to both legs 2, 2 of the robot A. A control unit 19 mounted in the robot A generates a motion command (desired gait) for determining motions of the legs for at least two steps of a walking action of the robot A depending on the manipulated positions of manipulator levers 26, 26 which are represented by output signal data from the manipulation unit 23, and controls motions of the legs 2, 2 based on the motion command.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2003Date of Patent: September 14, 2004Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shigeo Sano, Toru Takenaka, Takayuki Kawai, Yuichi Yoshida

Patent number: 5518112Abstract: A software disk holder holds in a coupled state a plurality of software disk cases each having a case body and a lid such that the lid of each case can be opened and closed. Holder plates are each interposed between an upper and a lower software disk case. Each plate has upper case coupling structure to be coupled to the case body of an upper software disk case and lower case coupling structure to be coupled to the lid of a lower software disk case.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1994Date of Patent: May 21, 1996Assignee: Hatakeyama Seisakusho CO., Ltd.Inventors: Masuo Ono, Shigeo Sano

Patent number: 4599583Abstract: A mixed dual frequency generating system for generating a digital FSK signal or a signal including two mixed frequencies includes a ROM which stores in consecutive addresses sampled data obtained by sampling a sine wave at a sampling frequency. The mixed dual frequency generating system also includes a data extracting circuit for extracting the sampled data from the ROM at the sampling frequency using an extracting step number. An output data fixing circuit changes alternate data extracted from the ROM to data "O", so that a signal having two mixed frequencies can be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 1984Date of Patent: July 8, 1986Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Ryoji Shimozono, Yasunori Ogawa, Yasuo Tanaka, Shigeo Sano
