ROBOT
First Claim
1. A robotic toy, comprising:
- a body, comprising;
a housing;
a cavity defined within the housing; and
a contoured base; and
a driven pendulum assembly positioned within the cavity, wherein the driven pendulum assembly comprises;
a first actuator comprising a first output drive;
a second actuator coupled to the first output drive, wherein the second actuator comprises a second output drive positioned transverse relative to the first output drive; and
a weight coupled to the second output drive.

Abstract
A robot is disclosed. The robot can comprise a body comprising a curved base and a multi-directional center of mass shifter assembly positioned within the body. The multi-directional center of mass shifter assembly can comprise a weight, a first actuator drivingly coupled to the weight, and a second actuator drivingly coupled to the first actuator. Actuation of the first actuator can be configured to rotate the weight relative to a first axis, and actuation of the second actuator can be configured to rotate the weight relative to a second axis, which is transverse to the first axis. The robot can comprise an inertial measurement unit, a controller, and/or an eye movable relative to the body. The position of the eye can be adjusted by an eye actuation assembly.

13. A robot, comprising:
-
a body comprising an inertial measurement unit, wherein the inertial measurement unit is configured to detect a direction of movement of the body; an eye movable relative to the body, wherein the eye comprises an actuation assembly comprising; a first actuator comprising a first output drive; a second actuator coupled to the first output drive, wherein the second actuator comprises a second output drive, and wherein the second output drive is transverse to the first output drive; and a controller in communication with the inertial measurement unit and the actuation assembly, wherein the controller is configured to control the actuation assembly to move the eye in the opposite direction of the direction of movement of the body detected by the inertial measurement unit. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
