In this letter, we propose a new type of electromagnetic actuator called the “programmable permanent magnet” (PPM) actuator. The PPM actuator is designed to tackle low-speed high-torque applications where classic electromagnetic actuators are highly inefficient. The PPM actuator is based on the appl
As technology develops, manufacture process becomes more and more automated using robots. There is demand for high performance tactile sensor which can support robotic grippers in manipulation tasks especially for unstructured flexible objects. Despite the efforts that have been spent, the fabricati…
Grasping tasks have always been challenging for robots, despite recent innovations in vision-based algorithms and object-specific training. If robots are to match human abilities and learn to pick up never-before-seen objects, they must combine vision with tactile sensing. This paper present a novel…
