Electrostatic (ES) clutches are promising candidates for wearable and assistive robotics due to their thin, lightweight, and low-power characteristics. However, conventional ES clutches typically suffer from mechanical instability caused by the stick-slip phenomenon, restricting their operation to s…
As cars evolve from mere modes of transportation into living spaces, the importance of haptic interaction with vehicles is increasing. Here, we introduce a hybrid haptic device for the virtual prototyping of car doors, employing both the motor and brake. Physical prototyping, which is a conventional
This letter proposes a novel prosthetic wrist that emulates the anatomical structure of the human wrist, specifically the wrist bones and muscles responsible for wrist movements. To achieve a range of motion (ROM) and load-bearing capacity comparable to the human wrist joint, we designed an elliptic
