چکیده
Abstract Compared to traditional rigid robotics, soft robotics has attracted increasing attention due its advantages in compliance, safety, and low cost. As an essential part of the robotic gripper also shows superior while grasping objects with irregular shapes. Recent research been conducted improve performance by adjusting variable effective length (VEL). However, existing VEL function achieved mechanisms such as multi-chamber design or tunable stiffness shape memory material requires a complex pneumatic circuit time-consuming phase-changing process. This work proposes fold-based finger from 3D printing. It is experimentally tested modeled hyperelastic property. Mathematic finite element modeling study bending behaviour proposed actuator. Most importantly, antagonistic constraint mechanism achieve VEL, experiments demonstrate that better conformity achieved. Finally, dual-mode grippers are designed evaluated advances on performance.

Soft-input soft-output decoding of variable length codes
We present a method for utilizing soft information in decoding of variable length codes (VLCs). When compared with traditional VLC decoding, which is performed using “hard” input bits and a state machine, the soft-input VLC decoding offers improved performance in terms of packet and symbol error rates. Soft-input VLC decoding is free from the risk, encountered in hard decision VLC decoders in n...
متن کاملAn effective soft error detection mechanism using redundant instructions
Computer Systems which operate in space environment are Subject to different radiation phenomena that lead to soft errors and can cause unpredictable behaviours of computer-based systems. Commercial Off-The Shelf (COTS) equipment which is commonly used in space missions cannot tolerate some threats such as Single Event Upsets (SEU). Therefore, there are some considerations in resisting this equ...
متن کاملScwm: An Extensible Constraint-Enabled Window Manager
We desired a platform for researching advanced window layout paradigms including the use of constraints. Typical window management systems are written entirely in C or C++, complicating extensibility and programmability. Because no existing window manager was well-suited to our goal, we developed the Scwm window manager. In Scwm, only the core window-management primitives are written in C while...
متن کاملSCWM: An Intelligent Constraint-Enabled Window Manager
Typical window management systems rely on direct manipulation techniques to organize and layout windows. Direct manipulation encourages the user to specify particular locations rather than higher-level intentions and desires regarding window layout. Our Scheme Constraints Window Manager (SCWM) allows users to express their intentions using both direct manipulation and higher-level commands. Bec...
متن کاملModelling and Controlling the Compliance of a Robotic Hand with Soft Finger-pads
Compliant pads greatly contribute to increase the robustness and the stability of grasps of robot hands, because of their conformability to the objects’ surfaces, the capability to damp dynamic effects and to dissipate repetitive strains, the enlarged contact areas they allow. On the other hand, besides the difficulty to obtain a precise model of soft pads, they appears not suitable to achieve ...
