Latest Patent Applications
Shaun Paul Bourgeois has submitted a patent application titled "System for Guiding Motions of a Target Joint." This application describes a motion guiding device designed for a target joint of a target body. The device allows for three degrees of freedom (DOF) motion about a remote center of rotation that is approximately aligned with the center of rotation of the target joint. The system comprises a base that is adjustably connected to the target body and three rotary joints interconnected with a network of linkages. One end of the network is connected to the base, while the opposite end connects to an effector plate. The design allows for flexibility in positioning the rotary joints, which can be angled with respect to one another. Each rotary joint provides one DOF of rotary motion about its respective axis, with all axes intersecting at the remote center of rotation. The geometry of the linkages can be adjusted to modify the position of the remote center of rotation in three dimensions. This innovative system may also be connected with additional parallel branches for enhanced actuation.
Conclusion
Shaun Paul Bourgeois is making strides in the field of robotics with his innovative motion guidance technology. His contributions, although not yet reflected in granted patents, showcase his potential impact on the industry.
