On Intrinsic Safety of Soft Robots
The rapidly growing field of soft robotics owes its success to the vast vistas of possibilities they promise. They may be utilized as standalone systems or work in harmony with the existing robotic technologies. Being based on soft and/or flexible materials, soft robots have usually high dexterity and, at the same time, they are also often considered “intrinsically safe.” This is generally true...
متن کاملA Stiffness Estimator for Agonistic-Antagonistic Variable-Stiffness-Actuator Devices
Safe Physical Human Robot Interaction, conservation of energy and adaptability are just the main robotic applications that prompted the development of a number of Variable Stiffness Actuators (VSA). Implemented in a variety of ways, they use various technologies, and feature the most diverse mechanical solutions, all of which share a fundamentally unavoidable nonlinear behavior. The control sch...
متن کاملSoft Components for Soft Robots
Typical robot platforms comprise rigid links with fixed degrees-offreedom, solid blocks of transmission and actuator, and superficial positioning of sensors: they are often optimized for the given design criteria but are unable to execute instantaneous changes to the robot's initial mechanism design. The reallife incidences, however, require robots to face complex situations filled with unprogr...
متن کاملPolymeric micromechanical components with tunable stiffness
We present a microstereolithographic technique that enables the manufacturing of polymeric components for microelectromechanical systems. Model microstructures were fabricated in the form of end-supported microbeams ~10 mm in diameter!, in order to characterize the mechanical properties of the produced structures at the micron scale. The flexural modulus of these microbeams was measured by atom...
متن کاملIn-Plane AFM Probe with Tunable stiffness
We developed an in-plane Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) probe that is specifically tailored to the needs of biological applications. It features a variable stiffness, which makes the stiffness of the probe adjustable to the surface hardness of the sample [1]. The inherent capability of the in-plane AFM probe for building a massively parallel array is also an important feature that greatly affect...
