Twisted string actuators (TSAs) are innovative linear soft that can mimic natural muscle contraction. However, obtaining feedback on their stroke requires cumbersome external sensors compromise compliance. We addressed this by developing self-sensing strings using conductive polymer composites (CPCs). The CPC exhibit electrical resistance changes in response to strain, enabling sensing the themselves. fabricated CPCs with varying concentrations of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)....
Twisted String Actuator (TSA) is an innovative artificial muscle that converts the rotary motion of electric motor into linear a load. TSA exhibits great potential for soft robots and robotic exoskeletons due to its high transmission ratio, simple structure, intrinsic compliance, low cost. However, actual dynamic behavior greatly influenced by varying load conditions, making it challenging accurately predict under different loads. This study addresses this issue proposing variable model...
