— Repetitive manual handling of heavy loads is common in assembly and is a frequent cause of lower back disorders. This can have a significant impact on the quality of life and ...
This paper presents a master-slave system applied to the remote diagnosis from echographic data. The motion of the master manipulator is remotely controlled by a physician and repr...
Within braided pneumatic Muscle Actuators (pMA) the braid structure is vital to the actuator's performance, preventing over-inflation, converting radial expansion into axial ...
— We propose a new method of tactile sensing for a fingertip of robotic hand. Using a simple fingertip with soft surface cover and a six-axis force/torque sensor, developed is ...
Abstract— Safety is a critical characteristic for robots designed to operate in human environments. This paper presents the concept of hybrid actuation for the development of hum...
