Abstract:
This paper presents a compliant control method for insertion of complex objects with concavities. Most work on robot assembly using compliant motion control schemes focuses on overcoming jamming conditions for simple peg-in-hole problems, and cannot be used for complex shapes frequently encountered in assembly applications. When an object is being inserted to a hole or slot with a small clearance, a contact path is issued to compensate for uncertainties. When the object shape is complex, however, the contact state changes several times and severely, making compliant control difficult. The algo

Abstract:
Non-compliance to hygienic practices in contact lens wear is regarded as a significant risk factor for contact lens-related complications. Non-compliant behaviour continues to prevent efforts to improve contact lens safety despite advancements in lens materials and care solutions. The objective of this study was to identify the association between knowledge, compliance and complications of contact lens wear. A cross-sectional design was used and contact lens users among medical faculty students were identified and recruited via convenience sampling throughout October 2013 to March 2014. A tota

Abstract:
A general inverse dynamic model which is applicable to closed-chain mechanisms with contact compliance is presented. This class of mechanism has relatively rigid members and joints, but experiences compliant interactions with objects and the environment; examples include walking machines operating on natural terrain, devices for grasping a compliant object, and wheeled mobile robots. Previous approaches for formulating inverse dynamic models of compliant mechanisms have been approximations or limited to simple configurations and open-chain mechanisms.

Abstract:
In a mechanism or system of “rigid” bodies that are joined or connected by compliant points of contact, an external impact at one point in the system generates a pulse of reaction force that propagates outward successively through neighboring joints or connections. At each point of contact between adjacent bodies, this wave of reaction force is just sufficient to change the relative velocities so that interpenetration of the bodies is prevented; i.e., the reactions enforce the displacement constraints. Each connection has a local wave speed that depends on the contact compliance and the mass o

Current techniques which have been devised for motion planning and control of compliant multi-fingered grippers are based on the assumption of a constant compliance.

Contact compliance, which may arise from elastic deformation near the contact point or in the surrounding structure, affects the dynamical friction behaviors in mechanical oscillators. An idealized model consisting of a mass sliding harmonically on a mass-less compliant contact produces hysteresis in friction-velocity plots. Dynamical friction features, depending on the contact stiffness, friction level, and the frequency and amplitude of oscillation, are predicted and quantified. Contact compliance can also lead to oscillations at the transition from slip to stick. Experiments and simulations

Abstract:
This paper reports on design, fabrication and testing of a prototype Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) tactile sensor for endoscopic and robotic applications. The sensor can measure both compliance and surface roughness. It consists of rigid and compliant elements. A relative deformation between adjacent parts of the contact object is used to measure the compliance, and the deformation of the compliant element of the sensor is used to measure the profile of a rough surface. The sensor in miniaturized form can be integrated with both endoscopic graspers and robotic end effectors. The theoretical a

Abstract:
SUMMARYRobots of next-generation physically interact with the world rather than be caged in a controlled area, and they need to make contact with the open-ended environment to perform their task. Compliant robot links offer intrinsic mechanical compliance for addressing the safety issue for physical human–robot interactions (pHRI). However, many important research questions are yet to be answered. For instance, how do system parameters, for example, mechanical compliance, motor torque, impact velocities, and so on, affect the impact force? how to formulate system impact dynamics of compliant r

Abstract:
The use of Coulomb’s friction law with the principles of classical rigid-body dynamics introduces mathematical inconsistencies. Specifically, the forward dynamics problem can have no solutions or multiple solutions. In these situations, compliant contact models, while increasing the dimensionality of the state vector, can resolve these problems. The simplicity and efficiency of rigid-body models, however, provide strong motivation for their use during those portions of a simulation when the rigid-body solution is unique and stable. In this paper, we use singular perturbation analysis in conjun

Abstract:
In this paper, a mechanics-based model is developed and I used for analyzing the steady-state configuration of brush fibers during concentric brushing of a cylindrical surface. The geometry of the problem is generalized in order to facilitate the analysis of flexible honing tools, that is, brushing tools having a spherical volume of abrasive compound attached at the end of each fiber. The integrity of the model is evaluated by examining two special cases that have a known solution, namely, (i) quasistatic contact, and (ii) dynamic contact associated with successively reduced fiber stiffness.

Abstract:
AbstractWe present a novel method for learning from demonstration 6-D tasks that can be modeled as a sequence of linear motions and compliances. The focus of this paper is the learning of a single linear primitive, many of which can be sequenced to perform more complex tasks. The presented method learns from demonstrations how to take advantage of mechanical gradients in in-contact tasks, such as assembly, both for translations and rotations, without any prior information. The method assumes there exists a desired linear direction in 6-D which, if followed by the manipulator, leads the robot’s
