A pneumatic power source using a sodium bicarbonate and citric acid reaction with pressure booster for use in mobile devices

IROS 2017poster

A range of pneumatically-driven devices have been developed. However, these require a large air compressor, making them heavy, bulky, and therefore inappropriate for use in portable devices. In this study, we proposed and tested a portable pneumatic power source using the chemical reaction between s…

Variable viscoelastic joint system and its application to exoskeleton

IROS 2017poster

In this study, a variable viscoelastic joint system comprising antagonized artificial muscles and magneto-rheological fluid brakes is proposed. This system enables human assisting devices such as robotic exoskeletons to retain structural softness when compared with the existing devices driven by mot…
