Abstract
A robot includes a motor drive power source for converting a voltage supplied from a power source to a motor drive unit-grade voltage and outputting it, a motor drive unit for converting a motor drive unit-grade voltage output from the motor drive power source to a motor drive voltage and outputting it, a motor driven to be rotated by a motor drive voltage output by the motor drive unit, a robot arm on which the motor drive unit and the motor are arranged, and a robot controller which is provided independently of the robot arm and on which the motor drive power source is arranged.
Claims6
A robot comprising:
- a motor drive power source for converting a voltage supplied from a power source to a motor drive unit-grade voltage, the motor drive power source outputting the motor drive unit-grade voltage;
