Roboterkörper

Roboterkörper refers to the physical structure or chassis of a robot. It encompasses all the components that give a robot its form and allow it to interact with its environment. This includes the frame, limbs, joints, actuators, sensors, and any external coverings or housing. The design of a roboterkörper is dictated by its intended function and operating environment. For instance, a robot designed for industrial assembly might have a rigid, multi-jointed arm, while a mobile robot exploring a planetary surface would require a robust, wheeled or legged chassis for locomotion.

The materials used in roboterkörper construction vary widely, from lightweight plastics and aluminum to strong steels and composites, depending on the required strength, weight, and cost. Actuators, such as electric motors or hydraulic pistons, are integrated into the joints and moving parts to enable motion. Sensors, like cameras, touch sensors, and proximity detectors, are also embedded within or attached to the roboterkörper to gather information about its surroundings. The overall configuration of the roboterkörper directly influences its mobility, dexterity, payload capacity, and overall capabilities. Advancements in robotics continue to drive innovation in roboterkörper design, leading to more adaptable, efficient, and anthropomorphic forms.
