Smart Tendon Actuated Flexible Actuator [PDF]
Journal of Robotics, 2015 We investigate the kinematic feasibility of a tendon-based flexible parallel platform actuator. Much of the research on tendon-driven Stewart platforms is devoted either to the completely restrained positioning mechanism (CRPM) or to one particular type of the incompletely restrained positioning mechanism (IRPM) where the external force is provided by ...

New actuators and their applications -- from nano actuators to mega actuators [PDF]
Micro-Nanomechatronics and Human Science, 2004 and The Fourth Symposium Micro-Nanomechatronics for Information-Based Society, 2004., 2005 The present report describes R&D activities on new actuators undertaken at our laboratory at Okayama University for the past three years. These activities include various types of actuators, such as electromagnetic, electrostatic, piezoelectric, pneumatic, and hydraulic actuators, ranging in size and force from the nano to the mega range.

Large strain actuation in polypyrrole actuators [PDF]
SPIE Proceedings, 2004 A typical limitation of polypyrrole based conducting polymer actuators is the low achievable active linear strains (2 % recoverable at 10 MPa, 7 % max) that these active materials exhibit when activated in a common propylene carbonate / tetraethylammonium hexafluorophosphate electrolyte.
