Despite remarkable achievements in artificial intelligence, the deployability of learning-enabled systems in high-stakes real-world environments still faces persistent challenges. For example, in safety-critical domains like autonomous driving, robotic manipulation, and healthcare, it is crucial not…
Hyper-redundant manipulators have been developed for hazardous environment exploration due to their flexibility and high agility in workplace. In this research, we designed a hyper-redundant manipulator by integrating Twisted String Actuators (TSAs) and Rolling Contact Joints (RCJs) to overcome the
This letter proposes a new mechanism, a four-bar linkage-based support hinge mechanism, for assisting with shoulder abduction with artificial muscle based on a shape memory alloy (SMA). An artificial muscle using the SMA coils is designed to lighten the entire system and support the wearer's movemen
