English

Subject field(s)
  • Applications of Automation
  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

A continuum robot is typically defined as a continuously bending actuatable structure with an extremity fixed to a base that can contain actuation and control hardware. The core element of a continuum robot is its backbone, which enables bending and acts as [the] main structural component. Whether made of many compliant elements or a single flexible body, the backbone defines the overall shape of the robot.

OBS

continuum robot; continuous robot: designations validated by a Canadian subject-matter expert from Polytechnique Montréal.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Automatisation et applications
  • Collaboration avec l'OMPI
CONT

Les robots continus sont constitués d'articulations étendues sur leur structure. Les robots classiques, quant à eux, sont constitués d'articulations ponctuelles reliées entre elles par des liaisons rigides. […] Les robots continus peuvent être classifiés en catégories : les extrinsèques, les intrinsèques et les hybrides suivant leurs méthodes d'actionnement.

CONT

The system-level structural qualification was therefore limited to a modal survey test to validate the ERA [European Robotic Arm] Finite Element Model, followed by a boosted modal survey test. This test programme is designed to qualify the ERA subsystem interfaces and the ERA and Russian launcher interface points that had not previously been subjected to qualification load levels in lower level test programmes. During the boosted modal survey test, ERA was mounted on a special vibration adapter in the Large European Acoustic Facility, with a set of flight-representative Russian launch fixation brackets(Fig. 6). ERA's natural frequencies were excited by mini-shakers at several load points. The strains were closely monitored to prevent overloading the flight hardware.

The Starboard 0(S0) truss segment is the first major element of the International Space Station's enormous exterior framework. The S0 Truss is 13. 4 meters(44 feet) long and 4. 6 meters(15 feet) wide and weighs 12, 247 kilograms(27, 000 pounds). It is the center segment of 11 integrated trusses that will provide the foundation for station subsystem hardware installation, utility distribution, power generation, heat rejection and external payload accommodations. The S0 truss acts as the junction from which external utilities are routed to the pressurized modules by means of EVA-deployed umbilicals. The S0 truss is going to the space station with a complement of pre-integrated hardware to increase ISS functionality, including the Mobile Transporter, the Trailing Umbilical System, the Portable Work Platform, four Global Positioning System antennas, two rate gyros, an Extravehicular Charged Particle Detection System and umbilicals for U. S. on-orbit elements.

Atlantis (STS-110, mission 8A) rejoignait l'ISS [International Space Station] pour doter la Station d'une nouvelle structure : l'Integrated Truss Structure SO (le segment central de la poutre de 91 m à terme). Cette poutre de 13 m et lourde de 12 tonnes a été fixée au-dessus du laboratoire américain Destiny. Elle servira de base à des dizaines de tonnes d'équipements qui seront installés ces prochaines années : panneaux solaires, appareils de refroidissement et autres systèmes nécessaires au fonctionnement de l'ISS. Enfin, les astronautes d'Atlantis ont installé le transporteur mobile, un petit wagonnet qui doit servir de base mobile pour le bras robotique Canadarm2. Une fois opérationnel, le transporteur mobile circulera le long d'un rail installé le long de la poutre S0.

Intelligence can be added to the disk controller to determine if a graphic element meets certain display characteristics, such as being a specifically searched-for element or being within the range of the display screen or being nonintelligence information. This hardware is called a disk scanner. Disk scanners are much more than simple add-on items. A disk controller must be completely redesigned to incorporate one, and very high-performance logic... is required to handle the data in real time.
