A hybrid high-speed industrial collaborative robot can switch between mode and mode, combining the advantages of both. While promising, this concept comes with some challenges such as dealing collisions at high speed. An overload clutch integrated torque sensing decoupling detection is presented enabling technology. Both joint are realized same capacitive measurement hardware that consists pair...

Effects of uncertainties in gas damping models, geometry and mechanical properties on the dynamics of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) capacitive switch are studied. A sample of typical capacitive switches has been fabricated and characterized at Purdue University. High-fidelity simulations of gas damping on planar microbeams are developed and verified under relevant conditions. This and...

The design of RF MEMS switches involves several disciplines: mechanics, materials science and electrical engineering. While significant progress has been made in the RF design of the switches, mechanical and material studies are required for mass commercialization of reliable devices. Senturia and co-workers at MIT have presented a closed form solution to describe the electromechanical behavior...
