Influence of the continuously increasing normal stress to the failure in case of shearing test
In a conventional shearing test the normal force or the normal stiffness is kept constant during the experiment. Sliding under constant normal load occurs in slopes if the environment is not changing during the process. The goal of this paper is to

Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Flexible Spring Joints in Surgical Robots
A new mechanical model of a tendon‐actuated helical extension spring joint in surgical robots is built using Cosserat rod theory. The model can implicitly handle the unknown contacts between adjacent coils and numerically predict spring shapes from straight to significantly bent under actuation forces.

This work presents a state‐adaptive Koopman linear quadratic regulator framework for real‐time manipulation of a deformable swab tool in robotic environmental sampling. By combining Koopman linearization, tactile sensing, and centroid‐based force regulation, the system maintains stable contact forces and high coverage across flat and inclined surfaces.

Joint-free Bridges With High Performance Materials
Joint-free bridges are preferred over those with conventional expansion joints because they provide better protection for structural components and allow such assets to reach their intended service life.

Simulation of a human finger joint with sliding surfaces [PDF]
In any automation process, object manipulation is a main task. The human hand and arm represent a system exceeding the versatility of current manipulation systems. Hence, at DLR a highly anthropomorphic hand arm system is being developed which aims at transferring the functionality of the respective human joints to a robotic system.

Muscle Control of an Extra Robotic Digit
This study compares muscle‐ and movement‐based control for operating a supernumerary robotic thumb. While movement control performs better in the proposed tasks, muscle‐based (EMG) control promotes broader motor learning. The results highlight the promise and challenges of using biosignals for human augmentation, offering new insights into intuitive ...

Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...
