Design Exploration and Experimental Characterization of a 6 Degrees-of-Freedom Robotic Manipulator Powered by Cable-Driven Semi-Delocalized Magnetorheological Actuators

Mathieu Gervais, Louis-Philippe Lebel, Jean-Sébastien Plante

ICRA 2022poster

Collaborative robots need to work closely and safely with users while being fast and strong. Fulfilling both these needs simultaneously presents a significant challenge, if not a roadblock, for conventional geared motor technology. Magnetorheological (MR) actuation is an alternative technology that…

Multifunctional Remotely Actuated 3-DOF Supernumerary Robotic Arm Based on Magnetorheological Clutches and Hydrostatic Transmission Lines

Catherine Véronneau, Jeff Denis, Louis-Philippe Lebel, Marc Denninger, Vincent Blanchard, Alexandre Girard +1

RA-L 2020

Supernumerary robotic limbs (SRL) are wearable extra limbs intended to help humans perform physical tasks beyond conventional capabilities in domestic and industrial applications. However, unique design challenges are associated with SRLs as they are mounted on the human body. SRLs must!) be lightwe

A Lightweight Force-Controllable Wearable Arm Based on Magnetorheological-Hydrostatic Actuators

Catherine Véronneau, Jeff Denis, Louis-Philippe Lebel, Marc Denninger, Jean-Sébastien Plante, Alexandre Girard

ICRA 2019poster

Supernumerary Robotic Limbs (SRLs) are wearable robots augmenting human capabilities by acting as a co-worker, reaching objects, support human arms, etc. However, existing SRLs lack the mechanical backdrivability and bandwidth required for tasks where the interaction forces must be controlled such a…
