Compliant Electromagnetic Actuator Architecture for Soft Robotics

ICRA 2020poster

Soft materials and compliant actuation concepts have generated new design and control approaches in areas from robotics to wearable devices. Despite the potential of soft robotic systems, most designs currently use hard pumps, valves, and electromagnetic actuators. In this work, we take a step towar…

Design optimization of a direct-drive linear actuator assistive device for stroke

IROS 2017poster

We present the conceptual design for a single degree-of-freedom shoulder assistive robot powered by a direct-drive linear electric motor. Such actuators offer high bandwidth and inherent force transparency, advantageous properties for an assistive device, but traditionally have inadequate force dens…
