This describes a robot featuring an arm with a hand unit, equipped with a camera on the arm and a light on the hand to perceive its environment. Its movements and the operation of tools on its hand are managed by two distinct controllers, which process data from various sensors, including an inertial sensor and potentially a force detector, all linked together in a series wiring configuration.
Why it matters: Filed before the widespread availability of low-cost, high-performance embedded vision systems and advanced sensor fusion algorithms. These technological leaps now make the robot's sophisticated sensing and control more practical and affordable.
