ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus are disclosed for providing mechanical amplification particularly suited for the driving system of mechanical robots. An electronic control system is provided for interfacing a user with the robot driving system. The robot driving system includes a mechanical motion control system coupled to receive electric control signals from the electronic control system and to provide in response thereto precision linear movement indicative of the movement required of the mechanical driving system. A high-power motor is provided for rotating a cylinder to thereby provide the input driving power to the mechanical amplifier. A linear drive system responds to rotation of the cylinder and the precision movements of the mechanical motion controller to traverse the cylinder and thereby provide the mechanical motion output.
