Abstract
A robot includes a base part; a pair of scrapers provided to the base part so as to face each other, the pair of scrapers each having a proximal end connected to the base part and a distal end for cutting a surface, and the pair of scrapers extending so as to approach or recede from each other progressively from the proximal end toward the distal end; and a movement mechanism unit for rotating the base part between a first orientation in which one of the pair of scrapers is closer to a workpiece than the other scraper, and a second orientation in which the other scraper is closer to the workpiece than the one scraper.
Claims9
A robot configured to perform a scraping process to scrape and smoothen a surface of a workpiece, the robot comprising:
- a base;
- a pair of scrapers disposed at the base so as to be opposite to each other, each of the pair of scrapers having a proximal end connected to the base and a distal end configured to scrape the surface, the pair of scrapers extending so as to approach or separate from each other as extending from the proximal ends toward the distal ends;
- and
- a moving mechanism configured to rotate the base between:
- a first orientation in which one of the pair of scrapers is closer to the surface than the other of the pair of scrapers;
- and
- a second orientation in which the other of the pair of scrapers is closer to the surface than the one of the pair of scrapers,
- wherein each of the pair of scrapers includes:
- a handle provided at the base and defining the proximal end;
- and
- a blade immovably fixed to the handle and defining the distal end.
