2-DOF Robot Arm with Variable Torque Limiters Realized by Electrostatic Film Motors

IROS 2023poster

When a conventional robot arm, driven by magnetic motors and reduction gears, operates at high speed, it can produce an excessive force due to unexpected contact. Toward the development of a safe robot arm, the present study investigated a 2-degree-of-freedom robot arm driven by direct-drive electro…

Compact and High Performance Torque-Controlled Actuators and its Implementation to Disaster Response Robot

ICRA 2018poster

Applying robots in narrow and cluttered disaster environments such as oil refineries requires a slim body and a wide range of motion. It is also necessary to have abilities to absorb unexpected contact with the environment and to walk on scattered debris. In this paper we propose new compact and hig…
