Soft, Rotating Pneumatic Actuator.
This article describes a soft pneumatic actuator that generates cyclical motion. The actuator consists of several (three, four, or five) chambers (arranged around the circumference of a circle surrounding a central rod) that can be actuated independently using negative pressure (or partial vacuum). Sequential actuation of the four-chamber device using reduced pressure moves the central rod cycl...
متن کاملPneumatic Soft Actuator for Human Assist Technology
In the coming advanced age society, an innovative technology to assist the activities of daily living of elderly and disabled people and the heavy work in nursing is desired. To develop such a technology, an actuator safe and friendly for human is required. It should be small, lightweight and has to provide a proper softness. We call such an actuator soft actuator. A pneumatic rubber artificial...
متن کاملPower-Management Scheduling for Peak Power Minimization
As the design complexity continues to increase, huge peak power has become an important concern. A widely used power management technique is to shut down unused operations. However, an unused operation cannot be shut down, unless all the operations involved in identifying the control/data flow of this operation have been scheduled before this operation. Therefore, operation scheduling has a sig...
متن کاملA soft pop-up proprioceptive actuator for minimally invasive surgery
INTRODUCTION Surgical robots and miniaturized smart instruments have been developed to overcome limitations of current tools and further reduce invasiveness of surgical procedures [1][2]. This miniaturization effort, as well as the development of more flexible instruments that can navigate the body following complex anatomical paths toward the surgical target, often leads to the loss of sensory...
متن کاملPeak power estimation of VLSI circuits: new peak power measures
New measures of peak power are proposed in the context of sequential circuits, and an efficient automatic procedure is presented to obtain very good lower bounds on these measures, as well as providing the actual input vectors that attain such bounds. Automatic generation of a functional vector loop for near-worst case power consumption is also attained. Experiments show that vector sequences g...
