Abstract
In variants, a robot system can include a set of robot parts that communicate using a response-request framework.
Claims20
A robot, comprising:
- a plurality of robot parts, each comprising:
- a physical actuator;
- and
- a processing system configured to:
- host a response-request communication server configured to communicate with other robot parts within the plurality of robot parts using a response-request communication protocol;
- and
- control the physical actuator based on actuator instructions, specific to the respective physical actuator, that are translated by the processing system from a standard instruction.
4 more elements
A robot, comprising:
- a main robot part;
- and
- a plurality of child robot parts connected to the main robot part, wherein each child robot part comprises:
- a physical actuator;
- and
- a processing system comprising:
- a communications module configured to communicate with the main robot part using at least one of gRPC or WebRTC;
- and
- an actuator module configured to translate actuator instructions in a standard syntax to actuator instructions specific to the physical actuator, wherein the actuator instructions are received using the communications module.
