The patent pending Surrogate IV is the latest generation of anthrobots. This generation replicates human shoulder, spine, and wrist architecture using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) parts for a new level of sophistication.
Features include:
Electric Ball Screw Drive
Human equivalent shoulder dexterity: Utilizing the Omni-Wrist VIII for 180 degrees singularity-free pitch/yaw and 90 degrees roll. Shoulder protraction/retraction 15.24 cm (6.0”).
Human equivalent wrist dexterity: 180 degrees singularity-free pitch/yaw and 90 degrees roll.
Human equivalent spine dexterity: 180 degrees singularity-free pitch/yaw and 90 degrees roll.
Human equivalent elbow: 150 degrees pitch.
Patent pending.
Ross-Hime Designs, Inc. Robotic Surrogate IV (S4). The S4 demonstrates the new high-dexterity latest generation flexible joint for shoulder, spine and wrist. All pivoting axes are powered by electric linear actuators for efficiency and ease of maintenance.
