"Soft" Continuum Robots - the Interaction of Continuous and Discrete Elements
In this paper, we examine key issues underlying the design and operation of “soft” robots featuring continuous body (“continuum”) elements. We contrast continuum and continuum-like robots created to date with their counterparts in the natural world. It is observed that natural continuum locomotors or manipulators almost invariably rely on hard/discrete elements (in their structure and/or ...
متن کاملFeedforward and Feedback Function of Selected Lower Limb Muscles Following Plyometric Exercises and Cryotherapy
Purpose: Despite the widespread use of cryotherapy in sports fields there is a lack of certain evidence of its impact of it on muscle activation especially following fatigue-induced exercise. This study aimed to assess the impact of cryotherapy alone and after plyometric exercises on knee muscle activation during the drop jump task. Method: 35 active female subjects (mean age of 22.74±2.10, m...
متن کاملHuman-Like Model-Based Motion Generation Combining Feedforward and Feedback Control for Musculoskeletal Robots
In order to improve legged locomotion of robots, both actuation and control challenges need to be tackled. In the last decade, compliant actuation has been identified as an important key towards natural motion performance [1]. Understanding the mechanisms and principles underlying human motion guides various research projects today to develop robotic legs that are close to the functionalities o...
متن کاملSoft robots
That does sound stressful. It is. And it is getting worse. When I started out, I wrote a total of 17 proposals to different agencies before I obtained funding. But that was back when the funding levels were reasonable — with paylines at the 20–30% level, and you could resubmit twice. When I finally did get funding, I barely made the cutoff, and that on my third try. Now the paylines are signifi...
متن کاملSoft Components for Soft Robots
Typical robot platforms comprise rigid links with fixed degrees-offreedom, solid blocks of transmission and actuator, and superficial positioning of sensors: they are often optimized for the given design criteria but are unable to execute instantaneous changes to the robot's initial mechanism design. The reallife incidences, however, require robots to face complex situations filled with unprogr...
