Electroactive Polymer Actuator design for space applications
In order to achieve a distributed actuation in robotics and automation a novel soft actuator technology is being sought worldwide. One of the candidate technologies is based on Electroactive Polymers (EAP). The research to be done in the field of EAP actuators should cover four issues: material improvement, characterization and modeling, actuator design, and applications simulation. Advances on...
متن کاملSpider-inspired embedded actuator for space applications
A novel mechanism inspired by spider legs is presented and discussed in this paper. The mechanism has the potential to be used in future space applications, although the harsh space conditions, and in particular outgassing, should be carefully addressed in the design of a space-qualified model, The mechanism, called “Smart Stick”, has one degree of freedom and is actuated by a pressurised fluid...
متن کاملMicro-Sensors for Space Applications
Important factors in the application of sensing technology to space applications are low mass, small size, and low power. All of these attributes are enabled by the application of MEMS and micro-fabrication technology to microsensors. Two types of sensors are utilized in space applications: remotes sensing from orbit around the earth or another planetary body, and point sensing in the spacecraf...
متن کاملKinematics and dynamics of an egg-shaped robot with a gyro driven inertia actuator
The manuscript discusses still preliminary considerations with regard to the dynamics and kinematics of an egg shaped robot with an gyro driven inertia actuator. The method of calculation follows the idea that we would like to express the entire dynamic equations in terms of moments instead of forces. Also we avoid to derive the equations from a Lagrange function with constraints. The result of...
