Abstract:

A directionally attached piezoelectric (DAP) actuator is one method to control the twisting vibration of a plate with high authority. Although insuring proper performance for DAP actuators has been discussed in terms of the control law used, the optimization of the mechanical details of the actuator itself has received little attention. There is an interaction between the actuator and the controlled structure because more actuator material on the structure adds actuation power but also stiffens the structure. The effects of DAP actuator geometric parameters and material properties are explored

SUMMARYThis paper deals with the position workspace, orientation workspace, and singularity of a 3-degree-of-freedom (DOF) planar parallel manipulator with actuation redundancy, which is created by introducing a redundant link with active actuator to a 3-DOF nonredundant parallel manipulator. Based on the kinematic analysis, the position workspace and orientation workspace of the redundantly actuated parallel manipulator and its corresponding nonredundant parallel manipulator are analyzed, respectively. In the singularity analysis phase, the relationship between the generalized input velocity

Abstract:

This paper proposes a new shape memory alloy (SMA)-driven compliant rotary actuator that can perform both passive and self-actuated motions. This SMA actuator is suitable as a redundant actuation part in a parallel robot joint to assist with singularity postures where the robot might lose the ability to maintain the position and orientation of the end effector. The double helical compliant joint (DHCJ) was chosen as a candidate mechanism; it can act in soft compliance with linear characteristics and a wide range of motion. The experimental results validated that the proposed model can be used

Abstract:

A soft actuator is expected to be applied in the next generation of robotics. This study focuses on soft gel actuators hybridized with nanosheet liquid crystals. The resulting soft actuator has a highly hydrophilic property, and is suitable for underwater use. When the gel in water is heated to more than the transition temperature, the gel contracts; conversely, it swells when it is cooled. This gel actuator remarkably has an anisotropic contraction characteristic because the orientation of the nanosheets is uniformly arranged. However, little is known about its dynamic characteristics of the

This study aims to obtain an effective solar panel tracking mechanism using energy-efficient electric actuators. Furthermore, we designed and implemented a semi-active solar tracking system. A tracking system is proposed to control solar panel orientation using a moving mass, a spring system, and an actuator. The weight of the moving mass and the spring constant are optimized to reduce actuator size. A stepper motor was used for this case. This electric drive is not the prime mover of the solar tracker; hence, it works against mass elements lighter than solar panel weight as used in the active

SUMMARYThis part of the paper investigates the wrench capabilities of redundantly actuated planar parallel manipulators (PPMs). The wrench capabilities of PPMs are determined by mapping a hypercube from the torque space into a polytope in the wrench space. For redundant PPMs, one actuator output capability constrains the wrench space with a smaller polytope that is contained inside the overall polytope. Performance indices are derived from six study cases. These indices are employed to analyze the wrench workspace for constant orientation of the mobile platform of the non-redundant 3-RRR PPM,

The accurate orientation of concentrated solar converters (e.g. solar parabolic dish, concentrated photovoltaic) requires small stepwise angular displacements at short intervals of time aiming to track accurately the sun.

The main drawbacks of the known LSLA solutions refers to the high constructive complexity of the intermediate gear reducer and its relative low efficiency due to the high value of the kinematic ratio, required to harmonize high speed

This allows for the observation of variations in latency over sub 1-s periods, instead of relying upon averages of measurements.

Abstract:

Mechanical properties of cellulose-based electro-active paper (EAPap) are characterized in this work. Cellulose-based EAPap has been studied as a potential actuator concept, as a result of its low actuation voltage, lightweight, low power consumption, biodegradability and low cost. EAPap is made from cellulose paper, coated with thin electrically conducting electrodes. This EAPap shows a reversible and reproducible bending movement as well as a longitudinal displacement under electric field excitation. However, the EAPap is a complex anisotropic material, which has not been extensively charact

Abstract:

The study focuses on a two-handed robot with twelve degrees of freedom, six for each arm, and gives an example of calculating generalized coordinates for the two-armed robot limbs at their joint manipulation. The initial data for obtaining generalized coordinates are represented by the location of the work object, which is a cube. When solving the problem, the last arm links reach the faces of the work object with a given orientation. To obtain generalized coordinates, we used a hierarchical approach, which is based on an algorithm for solving the inverse problem of kinematics, and developed a

Abstract:

Future developments in micromanufacturing will require advances in micromanipulation tools. Several robotic micromanipulation methods have been developed to position micro-objects mostly in air and in liquids. The air-water interface is a third medium where objects can be manipulated, offering a good compromise between the two previously mentioned ones. Objects at the interface are not subjected to stick-slip due to dry friction in air and profit from a reduced drag compared with those in water. Here, we present the ThermoBot, a microrobotic platform dedicated to the manipulation of objects pl

Abstract:

The attitude control has been recognized as one of the most important research topics for spacecraft. If the desired attitude trajectory cannot be tracked precisely, it may cause mission failures. In the real space mission environment, the unknown external perturbations, for example, atmospheric drag and solar radiation, should be taken into consideration. Such external perturbations could deviate the precision of the spacecraft orientation and thereby lead to a mission failure. Therefore, in this paper, a quaternion-based super-twisting sliding mode robust control law for the spacecraft attit

A novel design of a multiple degrees of freedom (multi-DOF) piezoelectric ultrasonic motor (USM) is presented in the paper. The main idea of the motor design is to combine the magnetic sphere type rotor and two oppositely placed ring-shaped piezoelectric actuators into one mechanism. Such a structure increases impact force and allows rotation of the sphere with higher torque. The main purpose of USM development was to design a motor for attitude control systems used in small satellites. A permanent magnetic sphere with a magnetic dipole is used for orientation and positioning when the sphere i

Abstract. The actuators for precise positioning based on bimorph structures of piezoelectric LiNbO3 and LiTaO3 crystals are considered. The optimal orientations of the actuator plates ensuring the highest possible displacements are determined by the extreme surfaces technique and the finite-element method. The simulated displacements for optimal orientations of LiNbO3 and LiTaO3 plates are compared with those obtained experimentally for manufactured LiNbO3 and LiTaO3 actuators, whose orientations are not optimal. As is shown, the optimal configuration of the actuator allows us to significantly

Based on different configurations of cable routings, the relationship between variation of joint angles and the geometrical sizes of guide pulleys is established, represented by a matrix for coupled motion. Moreover, based on the effects of the motion coupling of a cable-driven manipulator, we propose the condition for the invariance of orientation, which can be achieved

Omnidirectional micro-aerial vehicles (MAVs) are a growing field of research, with demonstrated advantages for aerial interaction and uninhibited observation. While systems with complete pose omnidirectionality and high hover efficiency have been developed independently, a robust system that combines the two has not been demonstrated to date. This paper presents the design and optimal control of a novel omnidirectional vehicle that can exert a wrench in any orientation while maintaining efficient flight configurations. The system design is motivated by the result of a morphology design optimiz
