The cover member includes a first introduction port formed by a gap between a portion overlapping the LIDAR in a width direction of the moving body and the front window, and a second introduction port formed by a gap between a portion overlapping the display device in the width direction and the front window. The gap of the first introduction port is larger than the gap of the second introduction port.

Moving body

An automatic driving vehicle that is automatically movable, the automatic driving vehicle includes a LIDAR configured to acquire external world information on an automatic movement, and a bracket holding the LIDAR and fixed to the automatic driving vehicle. The bracket is fixed to a rearview mirror which is as another device different from the LIDAR.

A moving body including an external world information acquisition device is autonomously movable based on external world information acquired by the external world information acquisition device. The external world information acquisition device is arranged on an inner side of the moving body than an outer shell member of the moving body, and is formed with an external world information acquisition surface. The outer shell member has an opening portion. The moving body includes a cover member which is provided between the external world information acquisition device and the opening portion. The external world information acquisition surface acquires the external world information via the cover member. The cover member has a flat plate shape, and is arranged to face the external world information acquisition surface, and to be inclined in an upper-lower direction and a left-right direction of the moving body with respect to the external world information acquisition surface.

Sensor for autonomously movable moving body

A manipulator including joint mechanisms each including: first and second members extending along a central axis; the second member disposed at a distal end of the first member and being swivelable relative to the first member about a swivel axis; a guide sheath extending near the central axis, a distal end of the guide sheath being fixed to the second member; a manipulation wire introduced toward the distal end of the guide sheath; and a pulley provided in the second member such that the manipulation wire is wound at least partially around the pulley to cause a distal end of the wire to change direction towards the first member, the pulley being rotatable about an axis parallel to the swivel axis; wherein the distal end of the manipulation wire is fixed to the first member near the inner surface of the through hole.

Joint mechanism, manipulator, and manipulator system
