Talon robot integrated accessory device

A system for enabling two additional tools to be attached to the robot arm of a Talon robot with remote operation of said tools, said system comprising:

• a main body (1), a pair of remotely movable tool holders (2), each with its tool interface (3);
• a mounting interface (4), a camera mount and connector conduit (6), said main body further housing a drive motor (9), a drive shaft (5) connected to said tool holders, a locking mechanism which includes push rod (12), release fork (10), a shaft lock (8) including six spring-loaded pins two of which pins engage an end plate (7) which locks the tool holders in position, a release servo motor (11) which initiates engagement and disengagement of the shaft lock with the end plate, wherein when the release servo motor pushes the push rod, such lifts the release fork and disengages the shaft lock from the end plate thereby enabling the drive motor to rotate the tool holders around the drive shaft;
• and,
• camera control signals in the operator control unit control electronic circuit boards in the main body through said camera mount and connector conduit to disengage the shaft lock from the end plate by rotating the servo motor, such disengaging the push rod and release fork, this permitting rotation of the tool holders around the drive shaft, then motor control signals to the gripper will be redirected to forward and reverse rotate the drive motor, and a camera control signal will designate which tool holder is to be controlled.
