摘要
专利的受让人是Plus One Robotics Inc.。（德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥）。新闻编辑从发明人提供的背景信息中获得了以下引文：“具有真空抓握接合结构的机器人系统，如抓握、抓握、分拣和移动对象是已知的。例如，美国专利申请No. 6015174，其公开内容在此引入。作为参考，D描述了一种应用于机器人的通用末端执行器系统，该系统定位了一个“波纹管”，这种波纹管通常被称为真空杯，它压缩并紧贴物体表面。被移动。该系统在波纹管的密封区域内施加气动真空压力固定在物体的末端效应R上，从而允许机器人抬起和移动物体。系统TEM包括一个带有传感器等的控制系统，它允许真空被接合和释放根据需要，和/或基于预定感测的criter ia，允许被端部执行器夹持的物体被机器人抓取、移动和释放。努力改善这一基本真空夹持系统包括在夹钳的工作端增加额外的夹持技术。例如，美国专利。No. 7963578，其公开内容是通过引用并入的Her Eby，教导了在夹具中单独或与气动真空夹具串联使用电磁铁系统。
Abstract
The patent’s assignee is Plus One Robotics Inc. (San Antonio, Texas, United Stat es).News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“Robotic systems with vacuum gripping engaging structures f or grabbing, holding, sorting and movingobjects are known. For example, U.S. Pa t. No. 6,015,174, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporatedby reference, d iscloses a universal end effector system applied to a robot that positions pliab le “bellows,”which are more commonly known as vacuum cups, that compress and se al against the surface of an objectto be moved. The system applies a pneumatic vacuum pressure within the sealed area of the bellowssecured to the end effecto r of the object, thereby allowing the robot to lift and move the object. The system includes a control system with sensors and the like that allows the vacuum t o be engaged and releasedon demand, and/or based on predetermined sensed criter ia, to allow objects gripped by the end effectorto be grabbed, moved, and relea sed by the robot as desired. Efforts to improve on this basic vacuumgripping sy stem have included adding additional gripping technology to the working end of t he gripper.For example, U.S. Pat. No. 7,963,578, the disclosure of which is her eby incorporated by reference, teachesusing an electro-magnet in the gripper th at works alone or in tandem with the pneumatic vacuum grippingsystem.
