Abstract
A humanoid robot includes an upper region includes a head and neck assembly having a neck portion and a head portion coupled to the neck portion. Said head portion includes: a frontal shell having a rear edge, a rear shell having a frontal edge, and an electronics assembly. The electronics assembly includes various components and devices used in the operation of the humanoid robot.
Claims29
A humanoid robot comprising:
- a sagittal plane and a transverse plane;
- an upper region including:
- (i) a torso, (ii) a pair of arm assemblies coupled to the torso, and (iii) a head and neck assembly coupled to the torso and having:
- a neck portion;
- and
- a head portion coupled to the neck portion and including:
- a head housing assembly including:
- (i) a first shell having an outer surface that is curved along the sagittal plane and a plane that is parallel with the transverse plane, and (ii) a second shell coupled to the first shell to define a head volume between the first and second shells;
- and
- an electronic assembly including:
- (i) a component positioned within the head housing assembly and configured to emit light through the first shell, (ii) a sensor positioned within the head housing assembly and configured to obtain data through the first shell, and (iii) an inertial measurement unit positioned within the head housing assembly;
- and
- a lower region coupled to the upper region and spaced apart from the upper region, the lower region including a pair of legs.
