A secondary battery accommodating structure disposed at a humanoid robot includes an accommodating part for a secondary battery module, that is disposed inside cladding of a body of the humanoid robot and opens in a first direction that is a lateral direction, a fixing part that fixes the secondary battery module to the accommodating part, and a drawing space for the secondary battery module, located in the first direction with respect to the accommodating part, within the cladding of the body. The drawing space opens at least either one of upwardly or downwardly to allow in and out of the secondary battery module.

A spherical joint of the present disclosure includes a ball member and a socket having an inner circumferential surface configured to spherically contact the ball member. The socket includes a cage part forming the inner circumferential surface and having an opening, and a bar-shaped connecting part provided to the cage part. A fastening member is disposed at the cage part so as to reduce a space of the opening in the extending direction of the connecting part and such that a gap is formed between the fastening member and the ball member. The opening is formed in a part of the inner circumferential surface other than a part where the largest load is applied.

A secondary battery unit includes a first secondary battery module disposed at at least either one of a front part or a back part of a body of a humanoid robot, a second secondary battery module disposed around the body in a direction intersecting with a front-and-rear direction of the body, and a base coupling the first secondary battery module to the second secondary battery module. The base is detachably attached to the body, together with the first secondary battery module and the second secondary battery module.

A joint structure of a robot according to an embodiment may include first link member, a second link member, a first movable link and a second movable link, disposed so as to intersect with each other and configured to rotatably couple the first link member to the second link member, and a linear-movement actuator connected at a base-end part thereof to the first link member, and connected at a tip-end part thereof to the first movable link. The second link member relatively pivots to the first link member by the linear-movement actuator advancing and retreating.

Joint structure of robot

A joint structure for a robot according to the present disclosure includes a first link and a second link rotatably coupled to each other via a joint part. The joint part has a first rotary member disposed so that an axial center thereof is oriented in a first direction and connected to the first link, a pair of second rotary members disposed so that an axial center thereof is oriented in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and so as to engage with the first rotary member, and a shaft member formed in a T-shape and having a first shank and a pair of second shanks. The joint structure further includes a pressing member connected to the second shank and configured to press the second rotary member inwardly.

Joint structure for robot

A hip joint structure of a robot includes a pair of thigh base-end members and a pillar-shaped pelvis member disposed so as to be sandwiched between the pair of thigh base-end members. A flange part is formed in each of left and right end parts in a front surface of the pelvis member, and each of left and right end parts in a rear surface of the pelvis member by a recess extending in the vertical direction. The flange part is fastened to the thigh base-end member by a fastening member.
