| Abstract: |
A robot system with robot specific effects. Reconstructable for other fields of activities with few manipulations by the users themselfs. This objective is achieved in accordance with the present invention by standard robot-block parts of nearly the similar design for the installation of multiblock-robots with self operating walk, drive and manipulation faculties, with horizontally and vertically fitting, rotation flange plug connections, with turntables and driving motors and with current and communication channels which are leading through the center of the rotation plug connections and which provide current and communication supply lines and current and communication control lines. These lines are leaded to inside and outside slip-ring and induction units and to equipment components, composed of accumulators, sensors and electronic boards inside the block chamber. The multiblock-robots achieve only by rotary power and in accordance with the individual plug connection installations, variable manipulations, locomotions and walk-movements, with multi-axis free-motion efficiency, for the most different user applications and objectives.

I claim:
1. A robot system with robot-specific effects, said robot system comprising:
- various standard robot-block-parts consisting of a block chamber with a plurality of rotation-flange plug connections,
- said rotation-flange plug connections disposed in vertical direction and forming a vertical pivot axis,
- said rotation-flange plug connections disposed in horizontal direction and forming a horizontal pivot axis,
- said rotation-flange plug connections provided with dimension fitting flanges and engaging plugs and with spring-loaded clamp levers all intersecting between said rotation-flange plug connections input and output ends,
- said rotation-flange plug connections having a turntable with driving motors and current and communication channels for current, supply, control and communcation conducters in the center axis of said robot-block parts,
- said current and communication channels provided with inner and outer slip-rings and induction units and with plug units at each end of said current and communication channels consisting of plug connections and plug sleeves,
- said robot-block parts having inside of said block chamber built-in equipment composed of accumulators, sensors, electronic boards,
- said current, supply, control and communication conducters guiding from said plug units through said inner and outer slip ring and induction units to each of said rotation-flange plug connections, to said driving motors, and to said built-in equipment,
- said rotation-flange plug connections with said current and communication channels being rotatable relative to said center axis by means of said driving motors whereas said block chamber being in rest position,
- said rotation-flange plug connections with said current and communication channels being in rest position and said block chamber being rotatable relative to said center axis by means of said driving motors,
- said rotation-flange plug connections with said current and communication channels together with said block chambers being rotatable by means of each of said rotation flange plug connections of said standard robot-block parts adjacently interconnected,
- said rotation-flange plug connections with said current and communication channels of said standard robot-block parts being rotatable by means of said adjacently interconnected standard robot-block parts whereas said block chamber being in rest position,
- said standard robot-block-parts flanged together by means of the centering effect of said engaging plugs, the clamping effect of said spring-loaded clamp levers, the contact closing between said plug connection units and said plug sleeve units of said rotation flange plug connections and forming a multi-block robot with a multitude of various heads, arms, hips, legs and feet,
- said multi-block robot provided for various manipulations and locomotions with multi-axis free-motion efficiency, by means of said turntables and the rotary power of said driving motors,
- said multi-block robot provided for self sufficient operations supplied and controlled by means of said current and communication channels and of said said built-in equipment in each of said chambers of said standard robot-block parts.
