Abstract
A robot includes a base, a movable unit coupled to the base, and a control board having an imaging calculation unit that calculates output from an imaging unit, a force calculation unit that calculates output from a first force detection unit, and an action calculation unit that calculates an action of the movable unit based on a calculation result by the imaging calculation unit and a calculation result by the force calculation unit, wherein the control board is located inside of the base.
Claims10
A robot comprising:
- a base having an inner space therein;
- an arm coupled to the base;
- a camera configured to take an image of an object and output a first signal corresponding to the image;
- a first force sensor configured to detect an external force applied to the robot and output a second signal corresponding to the detected external force, the first force sensor being located in the inner space of the base;
- a power supply board configured to receive a voltage supplied from a power supply, the power supply board being located in the inner space of the base;
- and
- a control board configured to receive the voltage from the power board, the control board being located in the inner space of the base, the control board having a memory and a processor, the memory being configured to store a program, the processor being configured to execute the program so as to:
- receive the first signal from the camera;
- receive the second signal from the first force sensor;
- and
- calculate an action of the arm based on the first and second signals.
