Design and Analysis of a Bimanual Parallel Dexterous Hand With Cooperative Manipulation Capability
Abstract A bimanual parallel dexterous hand with cooperative manipulation capability is proposed to solve the problem that one hand cannot achieve continuous in-hand manipulation. The bimanual parallel dexterous hand is composed of two parts: the inner ring fingers and the outer ring fingers. It is possible not only to perform a 6-degree-of-freedom manipulation with the […]
Cable Force Distribution and Motion Control for a Cable-Driven Super-Redundant Robot Under Stiffness Constraints
Abstract Cable-driven super-redundant robots (CDSSR) with slender and flexible bodies have wide application potential in narrow spaces. However, the control accuracy of the robot is affected by the instability of the operating stiffness during motion, which is related to the diversity of the cable tension distribution solutions. To solve this problem, an analytical stiffness model […]
An Undulating Kirigami Pattern With Enhanced Tear Strength
Abstract Kirigami, the cutting and folding of sheets, can create useful three-dimensional shapes from flat sheets of material. Some kirigami patterns self-deploy from their flat state when tension is applied; we call these tension-activated kirigami (TAK) patterns. A new TAK pattern has been proposed that produces ribbons of material that undulate out of the plane […]
