چکیده

The Rotary One-to-Many Project is aimed at designing and realizing an innovative novel actuator capable of emulating human muscle dexterity. This technology utilizes the “One-toMany” (OTM) concept, which allows a single artificial actuator to store energy in the form of elastic potential energy and drive multiple independently actuated and controlled degrees of freedom (DoF). This technology may prove critical for systems with many DoF like soft-robotics Exomusculature as well as many others. The feasibility of the concept was initially proven using the Linear OTM system, after which, the Rotary OTM system was designed, prototyped, and successfully tested.

A Proposal Conceptualization of a Hybrid Bio-moto- Reductor Actuator and the "virtual Shaft" Hypothesis

Motors are one of the most used motion devices in so many places, with high impact in the industry; they provide rotary motions that generate useful work at almost any particular application. Most of the time, motors must need to be connected to the entire mechanical system through a transmission mechanism to give the optimal performance to the system, they tend do be generic Moto– Reductors or...

Fault Diagnosis and Performance Assessment for a Rotary Actuator Based on Neural Network Observer

Substantial damage may occur when a rotary actuator fails during operation. Therefore, effective fault diagnosis of a rotary actuator is crucial to ensuring the safety of the device. However, only a few studies on fault detection, fault isolation, and performance assessment have focused on rotary actuators. In this study, fault detection and fault isolation processes were implemented by designi...

Optimal Robust Control for a Series Elastic Actuator assisting Knee Joint

Rehabilitation and assistive systems such as rotary series elastic actuators (RSEA) should provide the desired torque precisely. In this paper, to improve the life quality of those who suffer from weak knees, the control problem of a rotary series elastic actuator (RSEA) has been studied in order to generate soft human walking motion. These actuators produce the require torque, but the nonlinea...
