A Soft Pneumatic Fabric-Polymer Actuator for Wearable Biomedical Devices: Proof of Concept for Lymphedema Treatment

Etsel Suarez, Juan J. Huaroto, Alberto A. Reymundo, Dónal Holland, Conor Walsh, Emir Vela

ICRA 2018poster

Soft actuators are ideal candidates for wearable biomedical devices, their inherent compliance, robustness, lightweight and the possibility to be washable take advantage over rigid actuators. Thus, a soft pneumatic fabric-polymer bending actuator as a base component for a robotic device for lymphede…

Closed-loop selective manipulation of multiple microparticles by controlling the transient regime of Marangoni flows

Elvin M. Muñoz, Johan E. Quispe, Emir Vela

IROS 2016poster

In this paper, a closed-loop strategy for controlling the transient regime of Marangoni flows and thus to selectively manipulate and separate micro-particles is reported. Marangoni flows were generated by an infrared laser as a heat source. Simulations of the transient regime of Marangoni flows were…
