Environmental-Interaction Robotic Systems: Compliant Actuation Approach
Many successful designs of compliant actuators have been recently proposed. However, the challenge of providing passive and active motion in one actuator has remained. In this paper, a novel mechanism for changing the stiffness of the series elastic actuator over a wide range is presented. An accurate force source is provided by introducing the force control using veloc...
متن کاملBiarticular Actuation of Robotic Systems
In biology, biarticular muscles are muscles that are passing two joints. One of the biarticular muscles that is passing the knee and the ankle joints is the Gastrocnemius muscle (see Fig. 1). Functions of the biarticular muscles during human movement have been studied extensively by many researchers but these functions still remain unclear. One of such functions is the transportation of mechani...
متن کاملCompliant Actuation of Exoskeletons
This chapter discusses the advantages and feasibility of using compliant actuators in exoskeletons. We designed compliant actuation for use in a gait rehabilitation robot. In such a gait rehabilitation robot large forces are required to support the patient. In case of poststroke patients only the affected leg has to be supported while the movement of the unaffected leg should not be hindered. N...
متن کاملModular Actuation Systems: A Scalable Solution for Delivering Robotic Performance
Extremely resilient actuators can built by collecting force-generating, computational, and sensing modules together to fit into the allotted volume. Including extra modules makes the actuator damage tolerant. This modular architecture allows an actuator at any performance point to be easily synthesized from a small number of component parts. The embedded intelligence, sensing and inter-module c...
متن کاملQuadrupedal Robots with Stiff and Compliant Actuation
In the broader context of quadrupedal locomotion, this overview article introduces and compares two platforms that are similar in structure, size, and morphology, yet differ greatly in their concept of actuation. The first, ALoF, is a classically stiff actuated robot that is controlled kinematically, while the second, StarlETH, uses a soft actuation scheme based on highly compliant series elast...
