ABSTRACT

A modular, multi-functional, and reusable three-dimensional (“3D”) mounting
surface for use in robotic automation to facilitate changing from one robot
type to another (e.g., COTS (commercial off the shelf) robot or component) is
described. A change involves removing only the surface plates without the
entire mounting base plate for each product, which make the manufacture
process less costly and faster to deploy. The modular design of the present
invention enables a flexible mounting base plate configured to incorporate
different types of robot sizes, robot cabinets, and applications. This
invention is not only expandable on the three-dimensional (“3D”) tessellated
surface for larger robot applications, the 3D surfaces may be combined
together to form even larger robot solutions for factory automation. The
present invention is reconfigurable with inserts that fit precisely in the
mounting base plate.
