Assignee:
Carnegie Mellon University - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
700245, 700257, 700258, 1041381, 104139, 310180, 310 905
Abstract:
A mobile device for traversing a ferromagnetic surface. The device includes a frame and at least one surface contacting device attached to the frame. The device also includes a Halbach magnet array attached to the frame, wherein the Halbach magnet array provides a magnetic force to maintain the surface contacting device substantially into contact with the ferromagnetic surface.
Quick-Change Finger For Robotic Gripper
US Patent:
8382177, Feb 26, 2013
Filed:
Jun 10, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/797978
Inventors:
Nabil Michael Rizk - Salt Lake City UT, US
Mark DeLouis - Pittsburgh PA, US
Mark DeLouis - Pittsburgh PA, US
Assignee:
RE2, Inc. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
B66C 1/00, B66C 1/42, B25J 15/08
US Classification:
294106, 269 95, 269228, 901 31
Abstract:
This invention is an assembly and method for releasably connecting a gripper finger to a robotic arm with only manual manipulation. The assembly includes a finger body having a quick-change bar connected to a locking lever. The locking lever can be rotated by hand to engage and disengage the assembly to connect a finger to a gripper connected to a robot. The locking lever provides a sleeve and pin which interact to lock the assembly. The sleeve and pin can have recessed surfaces formed to interact with roll pins or screws to restrict behavior of the quick-change device during engagement.

International Classification:
B25J 17/00, F16D 3/00
US Classification:
7449005, 403 24, 901 28
Abstract:
A robot quick-release assembly has a first joint member and a robot component mounted thereon, the first joint member has a first coupler and a second joint member, a robot arm mounted thereon, has a second coupler, a clamp, and a locking collar. The first coupler can be coaxially aligned with the second coupler and pressed into the second joint member, and detachably connected to the second joint member. The first mechanical coupler is detachably connected to the second mechanical coupler for transferring power across the quick-release assembly. The robot component can receive an additional electrical connector, the additional electrical connector supplying power to the robot component. The quick-release assembly coupling assembly further exerts large forces with the application of a relatively small torque to the locking collar by applying a two stage wedge engagement and can further include a sequencing system.
Robotic Hand With Conformal Finger
US Patent:
2014000, Jan 9, 2014
Filed:
Mar 21, 2012
Appl. No.:
14/006433
Inventors:
Mark J. DeLouis - Pittsburgh PA, US
Assignee:
RE2, INC. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
B25J 15/00
US Classification:
7449003, 901 39
Abstract:
A robotic finger assembly can include a base for mounting the finger to a robotic hand, with the base having a motor, and at least three links. The links of the robotic hand are connected to each other and to the base by a series of joints. A joint shaft and a pivot shaft, where the pivot shaft can freely move within its respective joint shaft, is connected to a preceding link. The motor is activated for opening or closing the finger. The finger closes on an object with a distributed force across the links. Grasping also can mean engaging an object like a human hand, by closing the first finger link until it engages the object, then closing the second finger link until it engages the object, then closing the third link until it engages the object. A robotic hand assembly is also disclosed.
