Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein are a robot joint driving method, computer-readable medium, and device assembly which conducts motions similar to those of humans, and a robot having the same. These motions are achieved by arranging joint driving devices suited to characteristics of respective joints. The robot joint driving device assembly includes a tendon-type joint driving device using a wire, and a harmonic drive-type joint driving device using a gear reduction method. The tendon-type joint driving device is used to drive a rotary joint requiring high back-drivability, and the harmonic drive-type joint driving device is used to drive a rotary joint requiring high rigidity and high precision.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A robot joint driving device assembly, comprising: a frame; a first joint driving device provided at one outer side of the frame to drive a robot joint unit in a first direction; and a second joint driving device provided at another outer side of the frame to drive the robot joint unit in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the first joint driving device includes: a first driving motor movable in regular and reverse directi…
