Robot vacuums work best in smaller homes and normal-sized apartments... They handle hard floors and short carpets best, though they can get stuck now and then. Robot vacuums need a good motor for powerful suction, decent battery life, a brush roll, and enough smarts to be self-sufficient.

Record 2 2025-02-04

English

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

A rigid robot is a system explicitly designed to control motion or flow by overcoming the torque or effort reflected back by its load or task. This means for rigid actuation to be suitable, the task must be able to accept flow, or in other words, the task must be an impedance ... Most environments, however, are admittances not impedances. They are kinematically constrained inertial objects that define flow and accept only effort ... Therefore for a robot to effectively interact with its environment it must control effort, this is defined in the literature as "force control."

OBS

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

CONT

La position de l'organe terminal d'un robot rigide peut être facilement définie à partir des angles moteurs de chaque articulation. Alors que ce n'est pas le cas pour un robot flexible vu qu'il est difficile de définir exactement les positions cartésiennes et l'orientation réelles de l'organe terminal à cause des déformations des bras et des transmissions entre les moteurs et les bras. Ainsi, le positionnement d'un outil monté sur un robot rigide est beaucoup plus facile que celui monté sur un robot flexible.

OBS

robot rigide : désignation validée par un spécialiste canadien de Polytechnique Montréal.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Automatización y aplicaciones
  • Colaboración con la OMPI
CONT

Los robots pueden clasificarse en rígidos, móviles y flexibles. Los robots rígidos son aquellos que se modelan con dinámicas de cuerpo rígido. Generalmente están sujetos a una base y el área de trabajo está restringida por la longitud de sus eslabones y por su configuración. En estos robots, los actuadores requieren de una gran energía para su funcionamiento, están diseñados con estructuras pesadas y levantan poco peso con respecto a su peso nominal.
