Patent attributes
A robot is provided with: a base section; three motors set on the base section; a support so set that an axial centerline is perpendicular to a surface of the base section; pulleys; three wires into which nonlinear springs are incorporated; an output shaft connected to a load; a differential mechanism having a pinion gear connected to the output shaft and also having an affixation member disposed at the upper end of the support; a universal joint disposed at the ring of the differential mechanism; and a wire guide disposed at the affixation member of the differential mechanism. Two side gears of the differential mechanism and two motors are connected in one-to-one correspondence by means of two wires through the pulleys, and the remaining motor and the universal joint are connected by means of the remaining wire which is passed through the wire guide.
