Closed-Form Inverse Kinematics for Continuum Manipulators
This paper presents a novel, analytical approach to solving inverse kinematics for multi-section continuum robots, defined as robots composed of a continuously bendable backbone. The problem is decomposed into several simpler subproblems. First, this paper presents a solution to the inverse kinematics problem for a single-section trunk. Assuming endpoints for all sections of a multi-section tru...
متن کاملSensor enabled closed-loop bending control of soft beams
Control of soft-bodied systems is challenging, as the absence of rigidity typically implies distributed deformations and infinite degrees-of-freedom. In this paper, we demonstrate closedloop control of three elastomer beams that vary in bending stiffness. The most stiff beam is comprised of a single prismatic structure made from a single elastomer. In the next beam, increased flexibility is int...
متن کاملVision-assisted micromanipulation using closed-loop actuation of multiple microrobots
Accurate control and precise positioning of opto-thermocapillary flow-addressed bubble microrobots are necessary for micromanipulation. In addition, micromanipulation using the simultaneous actuation of multiple microrobots requires a robust control system to enable independent motion. This paper demonstrates a hybrid closed-loop vision-assisted control system capable of actuating multiple micr...
متن کاملClosed-loop Control of a Novel 2-DOF MEMS Nanopositioner with Electrothermal Actuation
The design, characterization and control of a novel 2-DoF MEMS nanopositioner is presented, with Z-shaped electrothermal actuators being used to position the device’s central stage. Whereas the more commonly-used V-shaped electrothermal actuator only allows displacements in one direction, the design of the Z-shaped beams used in the presented device allows two actuators to be coupled back-to-ba...
