An apparatus including a drive unit; and an arm assembly connected to the drive unit. The arm assembly includes an upper arm connected to a first drive shaft of the drive unit; a first set of forearms connected to a first end of the upper arm; a second set of forearms connected to a second end of the upper arm, where the second set has a different number of forearms than the first set; and a respective end effector connected to the forearms.

Material-handling robot with multiple semi-independent arms

An apparatus includes a drive; a movable arm connected to the drive and having a first link rotatable about the drive at a first rotary joint, a first actuator configured to cause a rotation of the first link about the first rotary joint, at least one second link connected to the first link at a second rotary joint, at least one second actuator configured to cause a rotation of the second link about the second rotary joint, and at least one gripper on the second link, the gripper being configured to carry a payload. The gripper includes a dielectric substrate, at least one electrode disposed on the dielectric substrate, the electrode being configured to produce an attractive force on a surface of the electrode to attract the payload, and a main electronic module configured to apply a voltage to the electrode from a source of current.

Vacuum-environment robot with integrated payload gripper

An apparatus includes a drive; a movable arm connected to the drive, the movable arm comprising a first link connected to the drive at a shoulder, a second link connected to the first link at an elbow, a third link connected to the second link at a wrist, and a fourth link connected to the second link at the wrist; at least one first actuator located in the second link configured to cause a rotation of the third link about the wrist; and at least one second actuator located in the second link configured to cause a rotation of the fourth link about the wrist. One or more of a thermal management, a power distribution, or a communication is effected through the second link.

Vacuum-environment robot with distributed actuators

A transport apparatus including a robot drive; an arm having a first end connected to the robot drive; and at least one end effector connected to a second end of the arm. The arm includes at least three links connected in series to form the arm. The arm is configured to be moved by the robot drive to move the at least one end effector among load locks and two or more sets of opposing process modules.
