Abstract
A controllable robotic arm system comprises a base unit and a moveable torso coupled to the base unit. The moveable torso is capable of moving in at least one degree of freedom independently of movement of the base unit. At least one robotic slave arm is moveably coupled to the torso. A master control system is operable to control the robotic slave arm and the moveable torso. The master control system includes an input interface by which a user can cause control signals to be communicated to the robotic slave arm and the moveable torso.
Claims20
A controllable robotic arm system, comprising:
- a mobile base unit;
- a moveable torso, coupled to the base unit and being capable of moving in at least one degree of freedom independently of movement of the base unit;
- at least one robotic slave arm, moveably coupled to the torso;
- and
- a master control system, operable to control the robotic slave arm, the moveable torso, and the mobile base unit, the master control system including a user input interface supported about the base unit by which a user can cause control signals to be communicated to the robotic slave arm, the moveable torso, and the mobile base unit.
A controllable robotic arm system, comprising:
- a mobile base unit;
- a moveable torso, coupled to the base unit and being capable of moving in at least one degree of freedom;
- at least one robotic slave arm, moveably coupled to the torso;
- and
- a master control system, operable to control the robotic slave arm and the moveable torso, the master control system including a user input interface supported about the mobile base unit by which a user can cause control signals to be communicated to the robotic slave arm, the moveable torso, and the mobile base unit,
- wherein the robotic slave arm is controllable by the master control system to execute movement in at least one degree of freedom when the user causes control signals to be communicated to the robotic arm,
- and wherein the moveable torso is controllable by the master control system to execute movement in at least one degree of freedom when the user causes control signals to be communicated to the moveable torso.
A controllable robotic arm system, comprising:
- a mobile base unit capable of autonomic tracked or wheeled movement;
- a moveable torso, coupled to the base unit and being capable of moving in at least two degrees of freedom independently of movement of the base unit;
- a pair of robotic slave arms, each moveably coupled to the torso;
- and
- a master control system, operable to control the robotic slave arms, the moveable torso, and the mobile base unit, the master control system including a user input interface supported about the mobile base unit by which a user can cause control signals to be communicated to the robotic slave arms, the moveable torso, and the mobile base unit.
