Soft bioinspired manipulators have a theoretically infinite number of degrees freedom, providing considerable advantages. However, their control is very complex, making it challenging to model the elastic elements that define structure. Finite (FEA) can provide with sufficient accuracy but are inadequate for real-time use. In this context, Machine Learning (ML) postulated as an option, both robot modeling and its control, requires high experiments train model. A linked combination options...
Recent developments in bioinspired technologies combined with the advance of intelligent and soft materials have allowed robots to replicate behavior different animal species. These devices can perform complicated tasks such as reaching or adapting constrained unstructured environments. This article proposes a methodology develop robot called “JellyRobcib” inspired morphology by jellyfish, using shape-memory alloy springs actuators (as bio-muscles). Such move jellyfish both vertically...
Robot arms can be found in many factories around the world. From tiniest chip a phone to body of car, robots are responsible for moving things thousands times day. However, find themselves bit stuck when dealing with more natural objects, such as fruits or vegetables. Their rigid bodies feel out place amongst all squishiness and different shapes sizes nature. One way help solve that is by making softer. Soft grippers allow delicately touch world them, grabbing fragile objects almost easily...
Haptic technology allows us to experience tactile and force sensations without the need expose ourselves specific environments. It also a more immersive with virtual reality devices. This paper presents development of soft haptic glove for kinesthetic perception. is lightweight allow natural hand movement. prototype actuates two fingers shape memory alloy (SMA) springs. Finite element (FE) simulations spring have been carried out set dimensions actuators. Flexible stretch sensors provide...
Los robots hiper-redundantes son aquellos que tienen un número muy elevado de grados libertad. En su uso cotidiano, la redundancia es referida para indicar una repetición o excesivo concepto. el campo robótica, puede ofrecer numerosos beneficios frente a los convencionales. poseen mayor habilidad sortear obstáculos, tolerantes fallos en algunas sus articulaciones y también pueden ventajas cinemáticas. este artículo se presentan conceptos generales entender tipo robots, así como clasificación...
Abstract Modelling soft robots is a non‐trivial task since their behaviours rely on morphology, materials and surrounding elements. These are very useful to safely interact with environment because of inherent flexibility adaptability skills. However, they usually hard model intrinsic non‐linearities. This fact presents unique challenge in the computer graphics simulation scopes. Current trends these fields tend narrow gap between virtual real environments. work will explain challenging...
Suction cups and closed bellows actuators are commonly used in industrial pick place tasks. They can be combined actuated by a single negative pressure line, providing simple coupling between suction actuation. However, the capabilities of this - seemingly very system go beyond just being able to grasp retract an object. By varying morphology cup tuning airflow two serially connected elements, retraction changes functional embodied behaviours emerge. This work explores novel concept flexible...
