Abstract
An environment recognition device (20) is provided with a first opening (20c1) through which a harness (20g) passes on a side surface of a frame (20c) below an environment recognition unit (20a). An upper base (10) below the frame (20c) is provided with a second opening (10b) through which the harness (20g) passes. A coupling mechanism (21) configured to couple the environment recognition unit (20a) and the upper base (10) supports the frame (20c) such that the frame (20c) is rotatable about an axis parallel to an upper surface of the upper base (10). A cover (21a) covers the first opening (20c1), the second opening (10b), and part of the harness (20g) extending between the first opening (20c1) and the second opening (10b).
Claims8
An environment recognition device including
- a hollow base,
- an environment recognition unit disposed above the base,
- an environment recognition unit control circuit disposed in the base and configured to control the environment recognition unit,
- a coupling mechanism attached to an upper portion of the base and configured to couple the environment recognition unit to the base, and
- a harness configured to electrically connect the environment recognition unit and the environment recognition unit control circuit, the environment recognition device comprising:
- a frame extending from a lower surface of the environment recognition unit to the base,
- wherein the frame is provided with a first opening through which the harness passes, on a side surface thereof,
- the base is provided with a second opening through which the harness passes,
- the coupling mechanism supports the frame such that the environment recognition unit is rotatable about an axis parallel to an upper surface of the base, and
- a cover configured to cover at least the first opening, the second opening, part of the harness extending between the first and second openings is provided between the base and the environment recognition unit.
A robot comprising:
- an environment recognition device including a hollow base;
- a joint mechanism;
- and
- a movable link coupled to the base via the joint mechanism, wherein
- the environment recognition device comprises:
- an environment recognition unit disposed above the base;
