Abstract
A detachable mechanical eye cartridge includes a plurality of links, a plurality of couplers, a plurality of electronic connection points, and at least one mechanical eye that can be rotatably actuated in at least two rotational degrees of freedom. The detachable mechanical eye cartridge may include actuators for actuating the eye, eyelid structures, an actuator for actuating the eyelid structures, and imaging sensors within the mechanical eye. The detachable mechanical eye cartridge may include one or two mechanical eyes and related structures and may include a set of magnetic couplers that couple to magnets on a robotic head frame to which the detachable mechanical eye cartridge may couple. The detachable mechanical eye cartridge may also have a set of mechanically coupled linkages for controlling the pitch of each mechanical eye with minimal backlash.
