SIMBA: Tendon-Driven Modular Continuum Arm with Soft Reconfigurable Gripper
In this paper, we describe the conceptual design and implementation of the Soft Compliant Manipulator for Broad Applications (SIMBA) manipulator, which is designed and developed for participating in the RoboSoft Grand Challenge 2016. In our novel design, we have proposed (1) a modular continuum arm with independent actuation units for each module, to increase maintainability; (2) a soft reconfi...
متن کاملSelf-Driven Soft-Body Creatures
Virtual characters play an important role in computergenerated environments, such as, video games, training simulations, and animated films. Traditional character animation control methods evolve around key-frame systems and rigid skeletons. In this paper, we investigate the creation and control of soft-body creatures. We develop creatures that learn their own motor controls and mimic animal be...
متن کاملA chaotic self-oscillating sunlight-driven polymer actuator
Nature provides much inspiration for the design of materials capable of motion upon exposure to external stimuli, and many examples of such active systems have been created in the laboratory. However, to achieve continuous motion driven by an unchanging, constant stimulus has proven extremely challenging. Here we describe a liquid crystalline polymer film doped with a visible light responsive f...
متن کاملPredictive Functional Control with Disturbance Observer for Tendon-Driven Balloon Actuator
In recent years, Japanese society has been aging, engendering a labor shortage of young workers. Robots are therefore expected to perform tasks such as rehabilitation, nursing elderly people, and day-to-day work support for elderly people. The pneumatic balloon actuator is a rubber artificial muscle developed for use in a robot hand in such environments. This actuator has a long stroke and a hi...
متن کاملSoft, Rotating Pneumatic Actuator.
This article describes a soft pneumatic actuator that generates cyclical motion. The actuator consists of several (three, four, or five) chambers (arranged around the circumference of a circle surrounding a central rod) that can be actuated independently using negative pressure (or partial vacuum). Sequential actuation of the four-chamber device using reduced pressure moves the central rod cycl...
