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 کاملA Scheme for Compressed Air Saving in Pneumatic Positioning Systems for High Loads
A problem with pneumatic positioning systems is the low energetic efficiency. This paper presents a structure of a compressed air saving for pneumatic positioning systems with capacity to move high loads. This structure use the loading to save compressed air and thus to increase the energetic efficiency of these systems. This configuration adds a fast switching on/off valve in a feedback betwee...
متن کاملMiniature Pneumatic Curling Rubber Actuator Generating Bidirectional Motion with One Air-Supply Tube
Soft actuators driven by pneumatic pressure are promising actuators for mechanical systems in medical, biological, agriculture, welfare fields and so on, because they can ensure high safety for fragile objects from their low mechanical impedance. In this study, a new rubber pneumatic actuator made from silicone rubber was developed. Composed of one chamber and one air-supply tube, it can genera...
متن کاملVariable gearing in a biologically inspired pneumatic actuator array.
A fundamental feature of pennate muscles is that muscle fibers are oriented at an angle to the line of action and rotate as they shorten, becoming more oblique throughout a contraction. This change in fiber orientation (pennation angle) can amplify the shortening velocity of a fiber and increase output velocity of the muscle. The velocity advantage resulting from dynamic changes in pennation an...
