Application of SMA Actuators to Spacesuit Glove Mobility
A common problem with space suit systems is overly rigid gloves that resist astronaut finger motion and gripping. In this paper, the design of a mechanism is considered that exploits the small-scale nature of shape memory alloys for actuating glove fingers to assist hand gripping. The design problem is introduced by considering the objectives, constraints, and variables relevant to a spacesuit ...
متن کاملControl Experiments on two SMA based micro-actuators
In this paper, two diierent control technics for SMA actuators are presented depending on the nature of the robotic application. The rst one based on a position feedback loop permits to control accurately the phalanx joint position for manipulation application. The second one is based on a temperature feedback loop to remotly steer an endoscope by a joystick. Their simplicity permits to integra...
متن کاملShape Memory Alloy (sma) Coil Actuators for Use in Controllable Mechanical Counter-pressure (mcp) Space Suits
Mechanical counter-pressure (MCP) space suits, which apply pressure to the wearer using tight-fitting materials rather than pressurized gas, offer numerous mobility and mass advantages over traditional gas-pressurized suits [1]. However, MCP design challenges related to pressure uniformity, pressure magnitude, and donning/doffing remain unsolved [2]. Previous MCP efforts have focused on passive...
متن کاملImproving the Response of SMA Actuators
Shape memory alloy (SMA) based actuators have a number of attributes which make them useful for robotic applications. Unfortunately their response is relatively slow, being limited by the speed with which the SMA can be heated and cooled. This paper describes two novel developments of the basic SMA actuator which improve dynamic performance. To allow rapid heating of the shape memory alloy wire...
متن کاملWalking Pattern Filter for Dynamic Biped Robot with Sma Actuators
In this paper we present a walking pattern filter for Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuated biped robots. SMAs are known for their slow response. The actuation speed limitation can potentially lead to stability problems for biped robots. This filter adapts the human motion for a SMA biped in order to have a stable walking pattern. The Zero Moment Point (ZMP) is used as a main criterion of the filte...
