  • This disclosure generally relates to apparatuses for robotic systems.
  • Robotic systems are used in a variety of applications.
  • robots are utilized in various commercial and industrial applications such as (1) automotive and aircraft manufacturing, (2) medical surgery, and (3) chemical and pharmaceutical synthesis, among others.
  • Robotic systems maintain a distinct advantage over human labor in some applications as they provide cheap, consistent labor that can repeat a task with a higher degree of precision than a human laborer, for example in hazardous environments.
  • Robotic systems often require some user input for successful operation.
  • the robotic system is directly piloted in real-time by a human actor, usually through remote control, to complete the task. This is common for tasks that still require human judgment but are difficult for a human to perform due to the nature of the environment. Examples include medical surgeries, welding, or chemical synthesis involving hazardous chemicals.
  • the robotic system is programmed, usual via software, to complete and repeat a task without consistent human oversight. The ability of the robotic system is thus limited by the nature of the instructions provided and the fidelity of the components used. This input method predominates in robotic systems that complete and repeat simple tasks, often in industrial, manufacturing, and residential environments.

  • the QQDD 220 works to permit rotation of joint 110 as the robotic limb 100 moves throughout its environment.
  • This QQDD may offer many advantages over traditional longitudinally mounted high reduction servo motors or quasi-direct-drive (QDD) motors used as joint actuators in robotic limbs. Example advantages are detailed herein.
  • QQDDs offer a combination of range of reduction and relative power density that is beneficial for robotics applications, and in particular consumer robotic applications.
  • Traditional high-reduction servo motors are capable of producing high reduction ranges (typically between 100:1 and 500:1), high torque, and high power for variety of applications. This results in motors that are capable of bearing large loads with high precision; however, this can lead to expensive motors that are overdesigned for consumer robotics applications, where loads typically do not exceed two kilograms and precision is less critical.
  • QDDs operate on the opposite end of the spectrum for certain attributes and may in comparison have a low reduction range (typically between 3:1 and 10:1), and low to mid-range relative power density. To achieve higher torque given their lower power, QDD's utilize a larger motor radius to produce the necessary torque for a variety of applications.
  • Particular embodiments of the QQDDs described herein may have attributes that fall in between those of traditional high-reduction servo motors and QDDs.
  • embodiments of the QQDDs described herein may have reduction ranges typically between 10:1 and 100:1, and relative power density in the mid to high range.
  • Such QQDDs may be more torque-dense than traditional high reduction servo motors, and more power-dense than a QDD. Compared to conventional high reduction servo motors, these differences can result in QQDD's having high-fidelity torque measurement, permitting greater accuracy.
  • Particular embodiments of the QQDDs described herein provide an improvement on both traditional high reduction servo motors and QDDs by reducing the wiring requirements of the joint actuator in robotics applications.
  • the wiring requirements on conventional high reduction servo motors and QDD robotic limbs can be extensive and can lead to exposed wiring, which is potentially unsafe for consumer products.
  • the wiring requirements of QDDs and traditional high reduction servo motors can require offset joints that are non-human like, reduce aesthetic appeal, and result in bulkier robotics (e.g., robots, robotic devices, robotic limbs, etc.).
  • QQDDs described herein when compared to QDDs, offer reduced size requirements without sacrificing reduction range or relative power density.
  • This reduced size offers several advantages over QDDs in robotics applications.
  • reduced size permits in-line joints and joints that are sized comparably to typical normal human joints (i.ee, a knee or elbow joint).
  • This reduced joint size due to QQDDs increases the aesthetic appeal and reduces size requirements compared to QDD joint actuators.
  • the smaller size of QQDDs permits lower profile mounting that reduces impact on available space for the consumer in the household.
  • the QQDDs described herein improve on the form factor through fewer components, which reduces production costs.
  • Traditional high reduction servo motors require a large number of expensive components including, for example: small, high-speed, power dense motors and high reduction gearboxes that require high part counts and small part scales; low-commodity hollow or ring form-factor rotary position sensors; and slip rings that enable power and data pass-through across moving components.
  • Particular embodiments of the QQDDs described herein also operate at lower power and voltage relative to traditional high reduction servo motors due to their larger radius, this decreases operating costs and noise.
  • Particular embodiments of the QQDDs described herein provide backdrivability and relatively high fidelity torque measurement through the motor.
  • the QQDD 220 includes a wire pass-through 340.
  • Wire pass-through 340 is a hollow shaft at each end of the QQDD 220, that runs the traverse direction at each end of QQDD 220.
  • This wire pass-through 340 permits one or more wires 350 to run through QQDD 220, and thus limb segment 105.
  • This design permits one or more wires 350 to remain internal to limb segment 105 through the length of the limb segment, and removes the need for a separate, external wire housing.
  • the wire pass-through further permits the in-line connection of one or more joint segments 105 by one or more joints 110.
  • wire 350 did not pass through the body of the limb segment 105 then an in-line joint connection would require the addition of either a low-commodity hollow form factor (e.g., ring) joint encoder, or an external wire harness.
  • the wire pass-through 340 thus permits, for example, reduced cost and in-line connection of one or more joint segments 105 that in turn increases form factor and aesthetics for consumers.
  • a wire pass-through may eliminate the need for slip rings or complex strain relief mechanisms and may permit the use of commodity, non-hollow encoders in lieu of expensive, custom designed and manufactured encoders.
  • robotic limb 100 may comprise one or more joint encoders and one or more reductions.
  • these one or more joint encoders may record data related to robotic limb 100, including but not limited to the joint angle of one or more joints located on the robotic limb.
  • the measured joint angles measure the angular differential between the axial centerline of each limb segment 105 at each joint 110.
  • robotic limb 100 may be associated with one or more external sensors 150.
  • These external sensors can include, for example and not by way of limitation, three-dimensional (3D) cameras, LIDAR, dynamic vision system (DVS), TOF sensors, fiducial markers, Optitrack, RGB cameras, or stereo RGB cameras.
  • robotic limb 100 may be associated with one or more internal sensors 330.
  • These internal sensors can include, for example and not by way of limitation, one or more joint encoders, computation encoders, limit switches, or motor current sensors.
  • the present invention assesses data from one or more internal sensors 330 or one or more external sensors 150 as these are affordable and highly accurate and thus ideal for measuring distances and positions of objects.
  • data from these one more internal sensors or external sensors can be utilized to reduce the trajectory error due to the fidelity of commodity power transmission through one or more dynamic adjustments to the controller.
  • these dynamic adjustments may include gain scheduling or adjustment of proportional-integral-derivative feedback (PIDF) gains.
  • PIDF proportional-integral-derivative feedback
  • robotic limb 100 may further comprise one or more processors and one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media coupled to one or more of the processors.
  • the one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media may comprise instructions operable when executed by one or more of the processors to cause the apparatus to perform one or more operations.

  • reduction 315's orientation is mirrored and inverted relative to reduction 320, and is arranged end-to-end with reduction 320 in the limb segment.
