By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-From Washington, D.C., NewsRx journali sts report that a patent application by the inventors Killer, Alexander (Wartenb erg, DE); Kraft, Martin (Eichenzell, DE), filed on March 22, 2022, was made avai lable online on May 9, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: "Articulated-arm robots, such as for example universal robo ts or industrial robots, which are suitable for the purposes of the invention ty pically comprise a final articulated-arm portion which is designed to accommodat e a tool for executing an assembly task, such as those mentioned above by way of example. Typical tools, such as for example grippers, welding tools, hemming to ols and adhesive applying tools, comprise functional elements which can be moved relative to each other and also comprise a drive of their own having one or mor e rotational and/or translational motors or actuating elements or drives and/or one or more drive unit(s) for one or more of the functional elements. Examples o f such tools are known from WO 2014/126675 A1, EP 2 307 167 B1 and EP 2 117 745 B1, all incorporated herein by reference. The tool's own drive requires a drive controller which has to be adapted to the robot controller which is inherently p rovided, so that the movements of the functional elements of the tool and the mo vements of the robot for executing the assembly task are co-ordinated. The effor t and/or cost involved in this is considerable."
