Static balancing of spatial six-degree-of-freedom parallel mechanisms with revolute actuators
The static balancing of spatial six-degree-of-freedom parallel mechanisms or manipulators with revolute actuators is studied in this paper. Two static balancing methods, namely, using counterweights and using springs, are used. The first method leads to mechanisms with a stationary global center of mass while the second approach leads to mechanisms whose total potential energy (including the el...
متن کاملTwelve Degree of Freedom Baby Humanoid Head Using Shape Memory Alloy Actuators
A biped mountable robotic baby head was developed using a combination of Biometal fiber and Flexinol shape memory alloy actuators (SMAs). SMAs were embedded in the skull and connected to the elastomeric skin at control points. An engineered architecture of the skull was fabricated, which incorporates all the SMA wires with 35 routine pulleys, two firewire complementary metal-oxide semiconductor...
متن کاملIonoprinted Multi-Responsive Hydrogel Actuators
We report multi-responsive and double-folding bilayer hydrogel sheet actuators, whose directional bending response is tuned by modulating the solvent quality and temperature and where locally crosslinked regions, induced by ionoprinting, enable the actuators to invert their bending axis. The sheets are made multi-responsive by combining two stimuli responsive gels that incur opposing and comple...
متن کاملDesign of Multi-phase Piezoelectric Actuators
A new multi-objective topology optimization method is proposed in this study for systematic design of multi-phase piezoelectric actuators. The actuator under consideration is composed of a compliant host structure equipped with piezoelectric elements, where the host structure serves as a compliant amplifier to enlarge the small stroke output generated by the actuation force of piezoelectric mat...
متن کاملMagnetostrictive Actuators Compared to Piezoelectric Actuators
Magnetostriction occurs in the most ferromagnetic materials and leads to many effects [1,2]. The most useful one to refer to is the Joule effect. It is responsible for the expansion (positive magnetostriction) or the contraction (negative) of a rod subjected to a longitudinal static magnetic field. In a given material, this magnetostrain is quadratic and occurs always in the same direction what...
