Feasibility study on self-healing compliant actuators
نویسندگان
چکیده
Natural organisms have a unique property not yet available in robotics, a self-healing (SH) ability. This powerful biological healing function has inspired chemists to impart similar properties to synthetic materials to create “self-healing materials”. Recent development in SH-polymers made us investigate the potential of using these materials in robotics, and more specifically in compliant actuator.

Compliant 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 کاملOn Feasibility of Adaptive Level Hardware Evolution for Emergent Fault Tolerant Communication
A permanent physical fault in communication lines usually leads to a failure. The feasibility of evolution of a self organized communication is studied in this paper to defeat this problem. In this case a communication protocol may emerge between blocks and also can adapt itself to environmental changes like physical faults and defects. In spite of faults, blocks may continue to function since ...

متن کاملAn experimental observation of uncoupling of multi-DOF PZT actuators in a compliant mechanism
The control of a dynamic system with multiple degreesof-freedom (DOF) is far simpler if the system is uncoupled. The property of an uncoupled system can be achieved with careful design of mechanical structures in the case of conventional mechanisms. The study reported in this paper will show via experiment the uncoupling property in a compliant mechanism, which is driven by three PZT actuators....
متن کاملThe Study of Couple's Self-healing Factors in Islamic Anthropological Principles (based on the Views of Ayatollah Javadi Amoly)
In this study, attempts have been made to investigate the self-healing factors in marital conflicts, with an emphasis on the views of Ayatollah Javadi Amoly in anthropology. A holistic approach based on strong points of marriage is better suited to meet different needs of couples, contributing to the resolution of conflicts, as compared to an approach that deals with strengths and self-healing ...
