A Stiffness Estimator for Agonistic-Antagonistic Variable-Stiffness-Actuator Devices
Safe Physical Human Robot Interaction, conservation of energy and adaptability are just the main robotic applications that prompted the development of a number of Variable Stiffness Actuators (VSA). Implemented in a variety of ways, they use various technologies, and feature the most diverse mechanical solutions, all of which share a fundamentally unavoidable nonlinear behavior. The control sch...
متن کاملCellular muscle actuators with variable resonant frequencies
This paper presents the design and analysis of a novel variable stiffness and variable resonance actuator based on a cellular arrangement of piezoelectric devices. The cellular muscle actuator design concept is presented followed by a general dynamic model for establishing the theoretical bounds on achievable resonant frequencies. A model that is specific to the proposed design is then formulat...
متن کاملAVASTT: A New Variable Stiffness Actuator with Torque Threshold
Variable Stiffness Actuators (VSAs) emerged as an alternative to conventional actuators in a variety of applications, such as walking robots and service robotics. New requirements, which were obviated in the design of rigid actuators, must be accounted for during the mechanical design of such new devices. Among them, we find the possibility of tunning the natural frequency of the mechanical sys...
متن کاملActuator at Low Frequencies
A new model IS proposed for the low-frequency plezoelectnc acttvlty of ZnO films grown on CVD BO, In this MOS structure, wth ZnO as the sermconductor, a depletion layer is induced by means of a d c has voltage Usmg standard semiconductor theory, an expression 1s derived relating the electnc field m tis depletion layer mth the dnvmg a c and d c voltages Due to the built-m charge at the ZnO-StO, ...
متن کاملThe dynamic micropump driven with a screen printed PZT actuator
A hybrid actuated silicon-based micropump with dynamic passive valves is described in this paper. The actuator is based on a combination of thick-film and silicon micromachining technology and relies on the flexure of a membrane structure of lead zirconate titanate on silicon. Inlet and outlet valves use the passive dynamic principle, where flow direction is realized with a diffuser and a nozzl...
