Development of a Three-Mobile-Robot System for Cooperative Transportation
Abstract The transportation of large-scale objects in a narrow space is a challenging, but useful application for mobile robots. We have developed a three-mobile-robot system
Graphic Transfer Matrix Method for Kinetostatic and Dynamic Analyses of Compliant Mechanisms
Abstract Kinetostatic and dynamic analyses of compliant mechanisms with complex configurations continue to be an attractive issue for obtaining a process-concise and result-accurate solution. In
Algorithmic Spatial Form-Finding of Four-Fold Origami Structures Based on Mountain-Valley Assignments
Abstract Origami has attracted tremendous attention in recent years owing to its capability of inspiring and enabling the design and development of reconfigurable structures and
Parameter Optimization of Foldable Flapping-Wing Mechanism for Maximum Lift
Abstract A lot of flapping-wing mechanisms have been proposed to mimic the flight characteristics of biological flyers. However, it is difficult to find studies that
Sensor-Less Grasping Force Control of a Pneumatic Underactuated Robotic Gripper
Abstract The primary motivation of this study is to develop a sensor-less, easily controlled, and passively adaptive robotic gripper. A back-drivable pneumatic underactuated robotic gripper
A Novel Variable Stiffness Compliant Robotic Link Based on Discrete Variable Stiffness Units for Safe Human–Robot Interaction
Abstract Variable stiffness manipulators balance the trade-off between manipulation performance needing high stiffness and safe human–robot interaction desiring low stiffness. Variable stiffness links enable this
