Soft fluidic rotary actuator with improved actuation properties [PDF]
2017 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2017 The constantly increasing amount of machines operating in the vicinity of humans makes it necessary to rethink the design approach for such machines to ensure that they are safe when interacting with humans. Traditional mechanisms are rigid and heavy and as such considered unsuitable, even dangerous when a controlled physical contact with humans is ...
