Motion Planning for Archwire Bending Robot in Orthodontic Treatments

Simulation and Analysis of Orthodontic Archwire Bending Robot

A 3D mathematical model of orthodontic archwire with rectangular curve is established. Simplified 3D solid model of orthodontic archwire bending robot, which is consistent of bending die, support structure and archwire are established by Creo software, then the simplified model of bending die is put into ANSYS Workbench. Material parameters the contact condition and boundary conditions are set ...

Study on Springback Properties of Different Orthodontic Archwires in Archwire Bending Process

The archwire bending is one of processes the most frequently used in the orthodontic treatment. Furthermore, the springback of sheet metal, which is defined as elastic recovery of the part during unloading, should be taken into consideration so as to produce formed archwire within acceptable tolerance limits. In this paper, the springback angle of different alloy archwires (including NiTi alloy...

Mobile Robot Online Motion Planning Using Generalized Voronoi Graphs

In this paper, a new online robot motion planner is developed for systematically exploring unknown environ¬ments by intelligent mobile robots in real-time applications. The algorithm takes advantage of sensory data to find an obstacle-free start-to-goal path. It does so by online calculation of the Generalized Voronoi Graph (GVG) of the free space, and utilizing a combination of depth-first an...
