    Abstract: A robotic end effector includes a finger and at least one actuator. The finger extends from a proximal end to a distal end along a finger axis. The finger includes a first phalanx proximate the proximal end, a second phalanx proximate the distal end, and a knuckle joint including at least one vertebra interposed between and separating the first and second phalanxes. The knuckle joint is configured to permit the second phalanx to pivot relative to the first phalanx about a pivot axis transverse to the linger axis. Each vertebra has an axial thickness extending along the finger axis and a lateral width extending perpendicular to its axial thickness, and its lateral width is greater than its axial thickness. The at least one actuator is operable to move the second phalanx relative to the first phalanx about the pivot axis.

    Abstract: An autonomous mobile cleaning robot can include a robot body, a bumper, and a coupling. The robot body can include a displacement sensor. The bumper can be moveably coupled to the body. The coupling can include a displacement limiter associated with the displacement sensor. The displacement limiter can inhibit or limit sensing by the displacement sensor of displacement of the bumper from the robot body caused by forces below a threshold horizontal force value.

    Abstract: A robot (100,800,1100,1200,1400,1600,2200,2300,2400,2500,2600,3300) includes a chassis (140,301,310,501,801,1601,3202) supporting a skid steered drive (110,1610,2202,2204,3310) and a set of driven flippers (130,302,502,602,802,1602). Each flipper is pivotable about a first pivot axis (15,315) common with a drive axis (15) near the chassis's leading end (104A,302A). The robot includes a neck (305,805,1605,2210) pivotable about a second pivot axis (317) substantially at the chassis's leading end (140A,301A) and a sensor head (303,803,1603,2206) pivotally coupled to the neck (305,805,1605,2210). The chassis, flippers, neck and head: (i) have a combined center of gravity (combined-CG,364,CG1,CG50) disposed in a forward-rearward sense between distal and pivot ends (130A,130B,302A,302B) of the flippers (130,302,502,602,802,1602) when the flippers are in a stowed position with their distal ends (130A,302A) between leading and trailing ends (140A,140B,301A,301B) of the chassis, and (ii) are each independently movable between a first position and a second position to reposition the combined center of gravity for negotiating an obstacle.

    Abstract: A robot includes a support, a movable member coupled to the support to permit gimbal rotation about a pitch axis and a yaw axis, and first and second linear actuators connected to each of the support and the movable member and operable to rotate the movable member about the pitch axis and the yaw axis. The first linear actuator is pivotally attached to the movable member at a first pivot point. The second linear actuator is pivotally attached to the movable member at a second pivot point. The first and second pivot points are each angularly offset from the pitch axis and the yaw axis by about 45 degrees and are located on the same side of the pitch axis.

    Abstract: A cleaning roller mountable to a cleaning robot is featured. The cleaning roller includes an elongate member extending along a longitudinal axis of the cleaning roller, and a vane extending outward from the elongate member. The vane includes a first vane portion attached to the elongate member, and a second vane portion attached to the first vane portion. The first vane portion extends from the elongate member at a location intersecting a radial axis of the cleaning roller. The first vane portion extends along a first axis angled relative to the radial axis and away from the radial axis in a tangential direction. The second vane portion extends along a second axis angled relative to the first axis. A first angle between the first axis and the radial axis is greater than a second angle between the second axis and the radial axis.

    Abstract: A cleaning bin mountable to an autonomous cleaning robot operable to receive debris from a floor surface includes a debris compartment to receive a first portion of debris separated from the airflow and a particulate compartment to receive a second portion of debris separated from the airflow. The cleaning bin also includes a debris separation cone having an inner conduit defining an upper opening and lower opening. The upper opening receives the airflow from the air channel. The inner conduit tapers from the upper opening to the lower opening such that the airflow forms a cyclone within the inner conduit.
