Us Patents

Robotic Platform

US Patent:
6431296, Aug 13, 2002
Filed:
Jun 25, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/888760
Inventors:
Chikyung Won - Somerville MA
Assignee:
iRobot Corporation - Somerville MA
International Classification:
B62D 5500
US Classification:
180 932, 180 82, 180 91
Abstract:
An articulated tracked vehicle that has a main section, which includes a main frame, and a forward section. The main frame has two sides and a front end, and includes a pair of parallel main tracks. Each main track includes a flexible continuous belt coupled to a corresponding side of the main frame. The forward section includes an elongated arm. One end of the arm is pivotally coupled to the main frame near the forward end of the main frame about a transverse axis that is generally perpendicular to the sides of the main frame. The arm has a length sufficiently long to allow the forward section to extend below the main section in at least some degrees of rotation of the arm, and a length shorter than the length of the main section. The center of mass of the main section is located forward of the rearmost point reached by the end of the arm in its pivoting about the transverse axis. The main section is contained within the volume defined by the main tracks and is symmetrical about a horizontal plane, thereby allowing inverted operation of the robot.

Wheeled Platforms

US Patent:
6662889, Dec 16, 2003
Filed:
Apr 4, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/826209
Inventors:
Thomas L. De Fazio - Watertown MA
David S. Barrett - Needham MA
Chikyung Won - Somerville MA
Assignee:
iRobot Corporation - Burlington MA
International Classification:
B62D 6110
US Classification:
180 22, 280 532
Abstract:
A wheeled platform is disclosed, which is characterized by high mobility and reliability, and which can be used in a wide range of applications including transport and robotic devices. The wheeled platform has fore and aft body portions , each body portion having first and second sides. Overlapping wheels are rotatably attached to the first side and overlapping wheels are rotatably attached to the second side. The fore body portion can be connected to the aft body portion via an articulation element.

Communications Spooler For A Mobile Robot

US Patent:
7331436, Feb 19, 2008
Filed:
Mar 26, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/811316
Inventors:
Robert Todd Pack - Nashua NH, US
Tyson Sawyer - Rindge NH, US
Chikyung Won - Tewksbury MA, US
Grinnell More - Temple NH, US
Assignee:
Irobot Corporation - Burlington MA
International Classification:
H02G 11/02
US Classification:
191 122A, 191 122 R, 901 1
Abstract:
A cable handling system mounted to a mobile robot to dispense and retrieve cable at zero tension includes a cable reel drive and a downstream tension roller drive that includes an idler. As a cable passes through the tension roller drive, position along the length of the cable and/or the cable speed is monitored accurately by a sensor attached to the idler. A system controller in communication with the sensor controls the cable reel drive and the tension roller drive for dispensing and retrieving cable downstream of the tension roller drive.

Coverage Robot Mobility

US Patent:
7441298, Oct 28, 2008
Filed:
Dec 4, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/633885
Inventors:
Selma Svendsen - Andover MA, US
Daniel N. Ozick - Newton MA, US
Christopher M. Casey - Lexington MA, US
Deepak Ramesh Kapoor - Cranston RI, US
Tony L. Campbell - Pepperell MA, US
Chikyung Won - Tewksbury MA, US
Christopher John Morse - Malden MA, US
Scott Thomas Burnett - Windham NH, US
Assignee:
iRobot Corporation - Bedford MA
International Classification:
A47L 5/00
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
15 491, 15319, 15339, 700245
Abstract:
An autonomous coverage robot includes a chassis, a drive system to maneuver the robot, an edge cleaning head carried, and a controller. The controller is configured to monitor motor current associated with the edge cleaning head and to reverse bias the edge cleaning head motor in response to an elevated motor current, while continuing to maneuver the robot across the floor. In another aspect, an autonomous coverage robot includes a drive system, a bump sensor, and a proximity sensor. The drive system is configured to reduce a speed setting in response to a signal from the proximity sensor indicating detection of a potential obstacle in a forward direction, while continuing to advance the robot according to a heading setting. Furthermore, the drive system is configured to alter the heading setting in response to a signal received from the bump sensor indicating contact with an obstacle.
