New Pneumatic Actuators Producing Breakthrough in Mechatronics
New pneumatic actuators developed in the author's laboratory will be presented with their applications to new mechatronics. Examples of them are a pneumatic rubber actuator for compliant robots, a micro pneumatic tube actuator assisting the colonscope insertion, a pneumatic stepping motor with high torque and resolution, a pneumatic drive bicycle, an intelligent pneumatic cylinder which has enc...
متن کاملA new electrical residual stress characterization using bent beam actuators
In this paper we propose a new class of sensitive and compact passive stress measurement pattern that uses the piezoresistivity of polysilicon. The proposed measurement pattern utilizes the resistance change of the beam that connects the structures moving in opposite directions. The unit structure is composed of a pair of bent beam actuators with apexes at their mid-points connected by a link b...
متن کاملProprioceptive Flexible Fluidic Actuators Using Conductive Working Fluids.
Soft robotic systems generally require both soft actuators and soft sensors to perform complex functions. Separate actuators and sensors are often combined into one composite device when proprioception (self-sensing) is required. In this article, we introduce the concept of using a conductive liquid to perform both the sensing and actuation functions of a proprioceptive soft actuator. The worki...
متن کاملToward a New Generation of Electrically Controllable Hygromorphic Soft Actuators
An innovative processing strategy for fabricating soft structures that possess electric- and humidity-driven active/passive actuation capabilities along with touch- and humidity-sensing properties is reported. The intrinsically multifunctional material comprises an active thin layer of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly-(styrene sulfonate) in a double-layered structure with a silicone elasto...
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...
