This work presents the automatic design of additively manufacturable serially linked one degree of freedom manipulators whose end effectors move along individually prescribed 2D trajectories. The kinematic coupling of the links is done by using gear stages consisting of spur gears and toothed belt g
The increasing frequency of robot interactions with humans and complex environments motivates the design and control of soft robotic systems made of compliant structures. Additive manufacturing processes enable the creation of new robotic systems and mechanisms that gain their compliance extrinsical…
The particularly compliant and adaptable properties of soft robotic systems and structures offer enormous potential for use in unpredictable environments as well as for safe and interactive work in human environments. Therefore, new approaches for the design of soft robotic systems are constantly be…
