Static Characteristics of Fire Hose Actuators and Design of a Compliant Pneumatic Rotary Drive for Robotics

Johannes T. Stoll, Kevin Schanz, Michael Derstroff, Andreas Pott

IROS 2020poster

In this work, we present and explain in detail the design of a new type of pneumatic actuator made of fire hose, the fire hose actuator (FHA), see Fig. 1. We model the force output of this type of actuator and we compare the theoretic results to the data measured on the laboratory test stand.Further…

A Compliant and Precise Pneumatic Rotary Drive Using Pneumatic Artificial Muscles in a Swash Plate Design

Johannes T. Stoll, Kevin Schanz, Andreas Pott

ICRA 2019poster

Compliant and precise rotary drive units are essential for the design of articulated robots that are capable of safe human-robot collaboration. In this paper, we present a new pneumatic rotary drive unit that combines the compliance of pneumatic systems with the ability to perform high precision pos…
