Title:
ENERGY REGENERATIVE WALKING ROBOT SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2018140490
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a walking robot device.SOLUTION: A walking robot device includes plural support members which are combined together so as to perform relative motion having plural degrees of freedom corresponding to a degree of freedom of legs of a human being. Further, the walking robot device includes an actuator which applies force or torque to the support members with respect of degree-of-freedom. Further, the walking robot device includes a positional energy accumulation mechanism which is concerned with the degree-of-freedom and is so operated as to supply at least a part of accumulated positional energy to the support members as compensation force or compensation torque in order to accumulate positional energy as a result of relative motion between the support members with respect to the degree-of-freedom and to assist the actuator. According to one embodiment, elastic positional energy is accumulated. At least one of a spring constant and a zero-point position of the positional energy accumulation mechanism is so made as to be kinetically changeable.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1A
