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 کاملMicro-control actions of actuator patches laminated on hemispherical shells
Spherical shell-type structures and components appear in many engineering systems, such as radar domes, pressure vessels, storage tanks, etc. This study is to evaluate the micro-control actions and distributed control effectiveness of segmented actuator patches laminated on hemispheric shells. Mathematical models and governing equations of the hemispheric shells laminated with distributed actua...
متن کاملDesign and Development of a Soft Actuator for a Robot Inspired by the Octopus Arm
The octopus arm presents peculiar features, like the capability of bending in all directions, producing fast elongations, and varying its stiffness. Such features are very attractive from a robotics point of view. In the octopus, these unique motor capabilities are given by the peculiar muscular structure of the octopus arm, named muscular hydrostat, that creates a sort of antagonistic mechanis...
متن کاملEgomotion Estimation with a Biologically-Inspired Hemispherical Camera
Biological inspiration has produced some successful solutions for estimation of self motion from visual information. This paper describes the advantages of egomotion estimation on a spherical image plane with respect to translational and rotational motion decoupling. The paper presents a novel 6 DoF egomotion estimation method for spherical cameras based on the image interpolation algorithm. Th...
متن کاملSpider-inspired embedded actuator for space applications
A novel mechanism inspired by spider legs is presented and discussed in this paper. The mechanism has the potential to be used in future space applications, although the harsh space conditions, and in particular outgassing, should be carefully addressed in the design of a space-qualified model, The mechanism, called “Smart Stick”, has one degree of freedom and is actuated by a pressurised fluid...
