Abstract:
An apparatus for automatically resizing robotics equipment to match the stature and density attributes of a desired personality comprising:telescoping â€œbonesâ€  are either threaded to lengthen or shorten as one of the two elements rotates or expanded by other means; and motor or actuator means expand or contract the â€œbonesâ€ ; and weights mounted on the outside of the bones, typically starting at the mid-point can be moved by rotation on a thread external to the outside tube of the bone or, alternatively, dense weights inside the inner tube are moved along the length of the bone to move the center of gravity of the bone and thus, as a group, they determine the center of gravity of the remote robotics; and motor or actuator means to move the weights; and processing means to capture from remote sensing devices or direct entry the attributes to be emulated and issue the commands to the above motors/actuators which are operatively connected.
