Humanoid robot and shoulder joint assembly thereof

This invention describes a humanoid robot designed to mimic human movements. Its key feature is a sophisticated shoulder assembly that uses two distinct joint devices. One joint moves the arm itself, while a second, larger joint moves the entire first joint relative to the robot's body, allowing for a very wide range of arm motion. The first joint has three degrees of freedom, and the second has at least one rotational degree of freedom.

Why it matters: Since 2009, significant progress in compact, high-torque servomotors, advanced sensor integration, and real-time control algorithms has made complex, multi-DOF robotic joints more precise and feasible, enabling more natural human-like motion.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedCustom mechanical joints, motors, control software
