Compared with rigid robots, soft robots have the advantages of strong environmental adaptability, good human-robot interaction, and simple control systems; therefore, actuators been widely studied in recent years. Based on DLP 3D printing technology, this study makes three kinds pneumatic actuators: gripper auxetic structure, Elongation Bellow Actuator (EBA) Omnidirectional Bending (OBBA). Thro...

Vision is an ideal sensor modality for intelligent robots. It provides rich information on the environment as required for recognizing objects and understanding situations in real time. Moreover, vision-guided robots may be largely calibration-free, which is a great practical advantage. Three vision-guided robots and their design concepts are introduced: an autonomous indoor vehicle, a calibrat...

Collaborative robots or cobots interact with humans in a common work environment. In cobots, one under-investigated but important issue is related to their movement and how it perceived by humans. This paper tries analyze whether prefer robot moving human robotic fashion. To this end, the present lays out what differentiates performed an industrial arm from that one. The main difference lies fa...

A hashing technique is used as an arm collision warning algorithm for two armed robots which can be expected to be a factor 103 more efficient in memory resources than a direct geometrical calculation. Computational savings are also achieved.

The successful rehabilitation of people with upper limb neuro-motor impairment depends largely on the appropriate selection and validation of a set of exercises. In this paper a knowledge-based system (KBS) for selecting a set of exercises to suit a particular patient status is proposed. Also a model of a mechatronic limb that simulates the human arm spastic characteristics will be developed. T...
