Estimation of Reaction Torque and Compensation for Elongation of Wire for Wire Actuated Robotic Forceps
نویسنده
چکیده
When a load is added to the tip of a wire actuated robotic forceps, tracking accuracy of the forceps is degraded due to the elastic elongation of the wire. In this paper, for the wire actuated robotic forceps, a new algorithm that can estimate a reaction torque and an amount of elongation of the wire, is proposed. By compensating for amount of elongation of the wire, track ability of the forceps is improved. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm was verified through simulation and experimental works.

Nonlinear Analysis of a Flexible Beam Actuated by a Couple of Active SMA Wire Actuators
There are two different ways of using SMA wires as actuators for shape control of flexible structures; which can be either embedded within the composite laminate or externally attached to the structure. Since the actuator can be placed at different offset distances from the beam, external actuators produce more bending moment and, consequently, considerable shape changes with the same magnitude...
متن کاملOptimization of fuzzy controller for an SMA-actuated artificial finger robot
The purpose of this paper is to design and optimize an intelligent fuzzy-logic controller for a three-degree of freedom (3DOF) artificial finger with shape-memory alloy (SMA) wire actuators. The robotic finger is constructed using three SMA wires as tendons to bend each phalanx of the finger around its revolute joint and three torsion springs which return the phalanxes to their original positio...

This paper presents the designing, simulation, fabrication and control of a gripper actuated by Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wire. The presented gripper has the advantage of the small linear displacement of the slider connected to the SMA wire, and can convert the linear displacement into angular movement of the gripper fingers. In this study, design and simulation processes have been done by two p...

Background: In intracavitary brachytherapy for gynecological cancers, various techniques are used to locate the anterior rectal wall nearest to the sources but there is no consensus on the best method to do so. This study aimed to compare a technique used routinely in some centers that employs a wire marker to locate the position of the maximum rectal dose point, versus the method recommended b...
متن کاملInvestigation of a gripping device actuated by SMA wire
A gripping device actuated by shape memory alloy (SMA) wire was fabricated and investigated. The actuation mechanism and the working rinciple of the gripping device are simple. A SMA wire was used to close the gripper during operation and a torsion spring was integrated to open he gripper when the SMA wire relaxed. Several experiments were conducted to investigate the performance of the grippin...
