The currently disclosed two-way, by-passable, overrunning clutch may be used as a joint in the limb(s) of a robot. In particular, the knee joint system enables a walking robot to walk more efficiently, with greater stability, and with increased ability to recover from falls. The non-microprocessor mechanical prosthetic knee joint can be split into two parts through the WSC [wrap-spring-clutch] central body. This enables [the] mounting of the joint system on either side of an intact knee or other joint, to serve as an integral component of an exoskeleton or orthotic system. 1, record 1, English, - walking%20robot

Entre los robots móviles encontramos los caminantes, que utilizan el movimiento sincronizado de sus patas para desplazarse. Los robots caminantes presentan características muy interesantes que los hacen destacar frente a los demás robots móviles terrestres. Algunas de estas ventajas son la mayor movilidad en terrenos irregulares debido a su capacidad para evitar obstáculos, o poder utilizar alguna de sus extremidades como manipulador para realizar alguna tarea […] 1, record 1, Spanish, - robot%20caminante

The EVA 3-D roller wrench operates using 3-D rollers connected with springs installed between concentric cylindrical races. The pins "disengage" one set of rollers, which allows its "engaged" partner roller to roll up the wedge surface of the hub when the wrench is turned in one direction. Rotation in the other direction causes the roller to roll down the wedge surface, disengaging the clutch for overrunning. This action allows the wrench to apply torque in one direction and free spin in the other like a traditional ratchet wrench. Moving the pins clockwise so that they engage neither roller will cause the wrench to become a rigid bar, allowing the wrench to apply torque in both directions. Rotating the pins further clockwise will cause them to "disengage" the rollers that were previously engaged, allowing the wrench to apply torque in the opposite direction as before. 2, record 5, English, - EVA%203%2DD%20roller%20wrench
