Abrégé

A connector assembly includes a first component having a slot and an indentation and a second component having a hook and a protrusion. The hook is configured to engage with the slot by being inserted into the slot and being translated with respect to the slot. The protrusion is configured to at least partially depress as the hook is inserted into the slot and engage with the indentation when the hook is positioned to engage with the slot. The hook and the slot, when engaged, resist separation of the second component from the first component. The protrusion and the indentation, when engaged, resist disengagement of the hook from the slot.

A modular robot for use as an educational robot system having multiple degrees of freedom and mounting features that allow multiple modules to be assembled with accessories to form a multitude of configurations. Each module is independently mobile and useful when alone or assembled with other modules. An encoder gear and encoder gear track is used to sense multiple degrees of freedom with parallel and perpendicular axis of rotation using a single printed circuit board.

• G09B 19/10 - Modelage
• B25J 9/08 - Manipulateurs à commande programmée caractérisés par des éléments de construction modulaires
• B25J 9/16 - Commandes à programme
• F16H 1/12 - Transmissions à engrenages pour transmettre un mouvement rotatif sans engrenages à mouvement orbital comportant uniquement deux organes engrenés dont les axes ne sont pas parallèles
• G09B 5/00 - Matériel à but éducatif à commande électrique
