Series-Parallel Elastic Actuation (SPEA) for Reduced Torque Requirements
Traditional stiff actuators have a high reflected inertia, which do not meet the safety requirements, are bad to absorb shocks and cannot store and release energy which are for different applications required. Initiated by the introduction of the Series Elastic Actuator (SEA) by Gill A. Pratt in 1995, a wide range of Variable Impedance Actuators (VIA) are developed, for which inspiration was fo...
متن کاملA novel bi-directional deformable fluid actuator
The deformable fluid actuators available on the market, i.e. pneumatic muscles and pneumatic springs, are designed to mainly exert compressive or tensile forces. This paper deals with a novel fluid deformable actuator, with three membranes, called BiFAc3, whose particular feature is the ability to exert both tensile and compressive forces. The structure of the actuator is based on three cylindr...
متن کاملA Bi-Directional Out-of-Plane Actuator by Electrostatic Force
Presented in this paper is a bi-directional out-of-plane actuator which combines the merits of the electrostatic repulsive principle and the electrostatic attractive principle. By taking advantage of the electrostatic repulsive mode, the common “pull-in” instability can be lessened to enlarge the displacement, and by applying the electrostatic attractive mode, the out-of-plane displacement is f...
متن کاملA Compact, Modular Series Elastic Actuator
This paper presents the development of a compact, modular rotary series elastic actuator (SEA) design that can be customized to meet the requirements of a wide range of applications. The concept incorporates flat brushless motors and planetary gearheads instead of expensive harmonic drives and a flat torsional spring design to create a lightweight, lowvolume, easily reconfigurable, and relative...
متن کاملdesign an artificial foot using series elastic actuator
: investigating the mechanical behaviour of a healthy human ankle shows that it can be simulated by a mechanism composed of simple elements such as spring, and actuator. hence, appropriate design of this mechanism can be resulted to an artificial ankle that can help amputees properly. researches show that whatever the biomechanical behaviour of artificial ankle is similar to that of natural ank...
