Abstract:

Piezoelectric actuators are the most commonly used actuators in nanopositioning. They provide excellent operating bandwidth and precision. These actuators are normally driven by voltage amplifiers; however, the relationship of the applied voltage on the actuator and its position is nonlinear and complex due to phenomena such as hysteresis. This adversely influences actuator’s position control which is the core component of nanopositioning. However, the electrical charge applied on a piezoelectric actuator has a significantly less complex relationship with its position. As a result, driving pie

Abstract:

New robotic applications, among others, in medical and related fields, have in recent years boosted research in the development of new actuators in the search for solutions that are lighter and more flexible than conventional actuators. Shape-Memory Alloy (SMA)-based actuators present characteristics that make them an excellent alternative in a wide variety of applications. This paper presents the design, tests (with the control description) and analysis of various configurations of actuators based on SMA wires: flexible SMA actuators, different mechanical design to multiply the displacement a

Abstract:

As the power producer, the micro actuator is an important part of the micro electro- mechanical system, which is used as the conversion of energy, motion and force producing. In this paper, the mechanical models of three bent beam electrothermal actuators are summarized to make comparison with each other and analyze mechanical performance. For Π-shaped actuators, the tip displacements are proportional to temperature increment and length, having no relationship with the beam width and thickness. However, the displacement of Π-shaped actuators is smaller than the one of V-shaped actuators with t

Abstract:

Abstract In this paper, the results of a series of experiments funded by DARPA to determine the feasibility of using small actuators to provide directional control for a supersonic projectile are presented. Controlling the flight of the projectile was accomplished by taking advantage of complex shock-boundary-layer interactions produced by mechanical devices. Experimental tests were conducted at GTRI to screen several control concepts and actuator locations. Further experiments were conducted on a scale projectile in a supersonic stream to investigate the rise time of the forces. Several diffe

Abstract:

Piezoelectric actuators are widely used in smart structural systems to actively control vibration and noise, and to enhance performance. Because of the highly capacitive nature of these actuators, special power amplifiers, capable of delivering high currents, are required to drive these systems. In this paper, a study to reduce the reactive energy that is necessary in such systems is carried out. This is accomplished by associating the actuator with its capacitive characteristic circuit. Also, non-idealities of the circuit performance are addressed, along with theoretical limits regarding poss

Abstract:

The manipulator is the key component of the micromanipulator. Using the axial expansion and contraction properties, the piezoelectric tube can drive the manipulator to achieve micro-motion positioning. It is widely used in scanning probe microscopy, fiber stretching and beam scanning. The piezoceramic tube actuator used to have continuous electrodes inside and outside. It is polarized along the radial direction. There are relatively high polarization voltages, but poor axial mechanical properties. A new tubular actuator is presented in this paper by combining interdigitated electrodes and piez

Abstract:

ABSTRACTOne of the goals of soft robotics is the ability to interface with the human body. Traditionally, silicone materials have dominated the field of soft robotics. In order to shift to materials that are more compatible with the body, developments will have to be made into biodegradable and biocompatible soft robots. This investigation focused on developing gummy actuators which are biodegradable, edible, and tasty. Creating biodegradable and edible actuators can be both sold as an interactive candy product and also inform the design of implantable soft robotic devices. First, commercially

Abstract:

The aim of the project OrthoJacket is to develop a lightweight, portable, and active orthosis for the upper limps. The system consists of two special designed fluidic actuators which are used for supporting the elbow function and the internal rotation of the shoulder. A new design of flexible fluid actuator (FFA) is presented that enables more design options of attaching parts, as it is allowed by conventional actuators with a stationary centre of rotation. This advantage and the inherent flexibility and the low weight of this kind of actuator predestined them for the use in exoskeletons, orth

Abstract:

Micro-machined electrostatic actuators (MEA) like parallel plate actuators (PPAs) and comb drive actuators (GCAs) are commonly used in many applications, including gyroscopes, resonators and RF switches. The detection of an actuators' mechanical motion is desired when they are combined with feedback control techniques, especially when the application requires high performance or is affected by disturbances. The motion can be detected by a variety of sensing techniques, including capacitive, piezoresistive and optical. Electrostatic parallel plate actuators can be modeled as a type of variable
