An environment recognition unit () includes a frame (), cameras () arranged on a front side in the frame (), a camera control circuit () disposed on a back side in the frame (), a pair of LRFs () arranged laterally to the frame (). The frame () includes a first duct () provided adjacent to the camera control circuit (), and a second duct () provided adjacent to the cameras ().

Environment recognition unit and robot

An environment recognition device () is provided with a first opening () through which a harness () passes on a side surface of a frame () below an environment recognition unit (). An upper base () below the frame () is provided with a second opening () through which the harness () passes. A coupling mechanism () configured to couple the environment recognition unit () and the upper base () supports the frame () such that the frame () is rotatable about an axis parallel to an upper surface of the upper base (). A cover () covers the first opening (), the second opening (), and part of the harness () extending between the first opening () and the second opening ().

Environment recognition device and robot

Provided is a multi-fingered type hand device that facilitates arrangements of wirings connecting driving members which drive fingertips and the like of a robot with members which control the driving members. The multi-fingered type hand deviceincludes a wrist portion, a base portion, and a plurality of finger mechanisms, the wrist portionhaving therein a wrist sensor, at least one of the plurality of finger mechanismshaving therein a fingertip sensor, the base portionincluding a frame-shaped frame portion, a tactile sensor, a first substratethat controls outputs of the wrist sensor, the fingertip sensor, and the tactile sensor, and a second substrate, the first substrateand the second substratebeing disposed opposite to each other so as to sandwich the frame portionfrom the upper and lower.

Multi-fingered type hand device

There is provided a balancing device for a four-cycle V-type eight-cylinder engine having a bank gap angle of 90 degrees, characterized by provision on a common rotating shaft (balance shafts as described in the mode for carrying out the invention) a part (an equivalent inertia mass P in the mode for carrying out the invention) for generating a first inertia force for offsetting a residual secondary inertia force from piston systems and a part (equivalent inertia masses VH, VV as described in the mode for carrying out the invention) for generating a second inertia force for offsetting a residual inertia force from valve systems. According to this construction, since balancing devices for piston and valve systems can be integrated into one unit, there is involved no complexity in construction.

Balancing device for a four-cycle engine

A balancer device for a four-cycle V-type eight cylinder engine having a bank included angle of 90 degrees, including: a crankshaft, a cylinder block having an upper block and a lower block divided from a horizontal plane passing through a center of the crankshaft and balancer shafts. Each of the upper and lower blocks defines a bearing hole in such a manner that an axis thereof extends in parallel with the crankshaft, the bearing holes of the upper and lower blocks being located at positions symmetrical with respect to the dividing plane; and balancer shafts supported to the bearing holes.
