Abstract
A robot includes a movable unit and a driving unit that drives the movable unit. The movable unit includes a predicted colliding section that is a structure forming an outer shape of the movable unit and may collide with a human body during movement of the movable unit. The predicted colliding section is formed to have a predetermined shape such that a pressure applied to a human body is lower than a predetermined safety standard value for pressure for the human body when the movable unit is driven at maximum thrust by the driving unit and collides with the human body.
Claims4
A robot comprising:
- a movable unit;
- and
- a driving unit that drives the movable unit,
- the movable unit comprising a predicted colliding section that is a structure forming an outer shape of the movable unit and may collide with a human body during movement of the movable unit, the predicted colliding section being formed to have a predetermined shape such that a pressure applied to a human body is lower than a predetermined safety standard value for pressure for the human body when the movable unit is driven at maximum thrust by the driving unit and collides with the human body.
A method for designing a shape of a robot that includes a movable unit and a driving which unit drives the movable unit, the method comprising:
- designing a shape of a predicted colliding section of the movable unit that may collide with a human body during movement of the movable unit, the shape of the predicted colliding section having a predetermined shape such that a pressure applied to the human body is less than a predetermined safety standard value for pressure for the human body, the pressure being a pressure applied to the human body when the movable unit is driven at maximum thrust by the driving unit and collides with the human body.
