Abstract
A power plate for driving a robot is provided herein. The power plate is capable of driving the robot in a stable manner. This stable drive of the robot is achieved by preventing a whole system paralysis phenomenon, which is caused by a local short-circuit occurring in a certain part of the power plate. The whole system paralysis is prevented by selectively breaking power supplied to a power supply pattern in association with the part where the short-circuit occurs.
Claims8
A power plate for driving a robot, the power plate formed of a plurality of power plate units, each of which comprising:
- an upper electrode comprising a power supply pattern for driving a robot;
- a lower electrode comprising a power supply line;
- and
- a power controller comprising a switch for supplying or breaking power to the power supply pattern of the upper electrode and a short-circuit detector detecting whether the power supply pattern of the upper electrode is short-circuited and outputting a control signal to the switch according to a result of the detecting.
A power plate for driving a robot, the power plate comprising:
- an upper electrode comprising a plurality of power supply patterns for driving a robot, the power supply patterns electrically insulated from one another;
- a lower electrode comprising a power supply line;
- and
- a power controller comprising a switch for supplying or breaking power to the power supply pattern of the upper electrode and a short-circuit detector detecting whether the power supply pattern of the upper electrode is short-circuited and outputting a control signal to the switch according to a result of the detection.
