An Implantable Variable Length Actuator for Modulating in Vivo Musculo-Tendon Force in a Bipedal Animal Model

IROS 2023poster

Mobility, a critical factor in quality of life, is often rehabilitated using simplistic solutions, such as walkers. Exoskeletons (wearable robotics) offer a more sophisticated rehabilitation approach. However, non-adherence to externally worn mobility aids limits their efficacy. Here, we present the…

A Self-Biasing Shape Memory Alloy Gripper for Lightweight Applications

IROS 2021poster

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are a type of smart material that are commonly used in compact and lightweight linear actuators. Paired with compliant motion conversion mechanisms, these alloys can be transformed into lightweight grippers ideal for applications such as drone deliveries. This work propose…
