A programmable robot system includes a robot provided with a number of individual arm sections, where adjacent sections are interconnected by a joint. The system furthermore includes a controllable drive mechanism provided in at least some of the joints and a control system for controlling the drive. The robot system is furthermore provided with user a interface mechanism including a mechanism for programming the robot system, the user interface mechanism being either provided externally to the robot, as an integral part of the robot or as a combination hereof, and a storage mechanism co-operating with the user interface mechanism and the control system for storing information related to the movement and further operations of the robot and optionally for storing information relating to the surroundings.
A joint for a robot comprising a housing within which a safety brake is placed, the safety brake comprising a solenoid which upon activation of the brake displaces a ratchet into engagement with an annular member mounted on a motor axle, where the annular member can rotate relative to the motor axle, but with friction between the annular member and the motor axle, wherein the friction between the annular member and the motor axle imparts a controlled braking of the joint and wherein the friction is of such a size that overloading of the joint during the controlled braking is precluded.
A robot comprising:
