In an earthquake simulator, which is a device for reproducing seismic waves, it is necessary to accurately reproduce the acceleration. In this letter, the authors propose an offline reference trajectory shaping method for precise acceleration control based on the dynamic model of an earthquake simul
In this paper, the development of a two-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) human-powered robot using regenerative clutches and constant-force springs is described. A regenerative clutch can control a transmitted torque precisely and it includes a regenerative brake and a differential gear mechanism. The singl…
In this paper, a development of a single DOF joint drive mechanism using regenerative servo clutches is described. The regenerative servo clutch is a kind of a clutch developed by the authors which consists of a regenerative brake and a differential gear mechanism, and it can control the transmitted…
This paper discusses the design and implementation of a three dimensional magnetic tweezer system to achieve measurement of mechanical properties of living cells by touching a magnetically levitated micro probe to specimen cells. The system consists of a three dimensional magnetic tweezer, an invert
