Superelastic Tendon-Like Bowden Cables: Advancing Assistive Exoskeletons

Gregorio Pisaneschi, José M. Catalán, Andrea Blanco, Nicola Sancisi, Nicolas Garcia-Aracil, Andrea Zucchelli

ICRA 2026poster

This study introduces a novel Bowden cable (BC) system for hand-assistive exoskeletons employing superelastic (SE) shape memory alloy wires to address key limitations, such as efficiency and safety limitations. The unique properties of SE wires enable a single-wire transmission, offering enhanced pe…

A Variable Stiffness Joint With Electrospun P(VDF-TrFE-CTFE) Variable Stiffness Springs

Raffaella Carloni, Valerie I. Lapp, Andrea Cremonese, Juri Belcari, Andrea Zucchelli

RA-L 2018

This letter presents a novel rotational variable stiffness joint that relies on one motor and a set of variable stiffness springs. The variable stiffness springs are leaf springs with a layered design, i.e., an electro-active layer of electrospun aligned nanofibers of poly(vinylidene fluoride-triflu
