Twisted-coiled polymer actuators (TCAs) have been known for many interesting properties such as inherent compliance, high stroke, high power density. However, the current TCAs normally come along with traditional sensing methods such as encoders attached to the link, which limits the application of
Twisted-coiled polymer actuators (TCA) have many interesting properties that show potentials for making high performance bionic devices. This letter presents a long short term memory (LSTM) model to predict the behavior of an antagonistic joint driven by hybrid TCA bundles made from Spandex and nylo
Super-coiled polymer (SCP) artificial muscles have many interesting properties that show potentials for making high performance bionic devices. To realize human-like robotic devices from this type of actuator, it is important for the SCP driven mechanisms to achieve human-like performance, such as c…
Various control strategies using trajectory planning, object recognition and learning are researched for avoiding obstacles when legged robot is walking. In this paper, designed trajectory by using Non Uniform Basis Spline (NUBS) curve and control strategy, by using proposed trajectory, to effective…
