Abstract
A shock-absorbing device for a humanoid robot, comprises a rigid structure linked to the humanoid robot, a deformable outer shell, and a shock-absorber; the shock-absorber consisting of a flexible cellular structure comprising a set of cells emerging in a main direction, and being secured to the rigid structure at a first end in the main direction, and linked to the deformable outer shell at a second end opposite the first in the main direction. Advantageously, the outer shell is also linked directly to the rigid structure by means of at least one absorbent fixing of silent block type. The invention relates also to a humanoid robot, and in particular the head of a humanoid robot, comprising such a shock-absorbing device.

A shock-absorbing device for a mobile robot comprising:
- a rigid structure linked to the mobile robot,
- a deformable outer shell, and
- a shock-absorber;
- an electronic module fixed to the rigid structure,
- the shock-absorber consisting of a flexible cellular structure comprising a set of cells emerging in a main direction, and being secured to the rigid structure at a first end in the main direction, and linked to the deformable outer shell at a second end opposite the first in the main direction,
- the shock-absorber comprising a chimney emerging at both ends in the main direction, making it possible to discharge heat emitted by the electronic module out of the mobile robot.
