Pneumatic actuation-based bidirectional modules with variable stiffness and closed-loop position control

ICRA 2021poster

This paper extends our previous work on a pneumatic bending module and presents two more modules for rotational and translational motions. In these modules, antagonistic chambers enveloped by rigid shells are adopted to realize bidirectional actuation, and they are characterized by safe actuation, e…

The Lobster-inspired Antagonistic Actuation Mechanism Towards a Bending Module

ICRA 2020poster

This paper describes a new type of bending module inspired, in part, by the musculoskeletal structure of the lobster leg joint. The bending module proposed combines enhanced torque output, reconfigurability in assembling, safe compliant actuation, and accurate control on its mechanical performance.…
