Articulated robot and method of controlling the motion of the same

This invention describes a robot that communicates by moving its body and limbs in specific patterns, much like a visual language. The robot has a controller for its joints and a system to store these movement patterns, which can represent characters or convey meaning through sequences of joint angles. This allows it to send messages visually to observers without needing electronic communication.

Why it matters: Filed before modern robotics could achieve complex, agile movements and before AI could readily generate and interpret intricate motion patterns. Today's advanced legged robots and machine learning for gesture recognition make this visual communication feasible.

Status: ExpiredProtection ended and was never renewed
