Multistage, Self‐Sensing Artificial Muscles With Coordination From Liquid Crystal Elastomer‐Graphene Composite Fibers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by skeletal muscles’ precision and endurance, CoilLCE integrates a self‐sensing liquid crystal elastomer/graphene artificial muscle with an embedded Joule‐heating copper coil, enabling closed‐loop multistage actuation with programmable intermediate states (strain accuracy of 2%), and antagonistic coordination (32% total strain). These features

Design and Analysis of a Soft Pneumatic Actuator to Develop Modular Soft Robotic Systems

Journal of Automation, Mobile Robotics and Intelligent Systems, 2019
In this paper, we describe the design and analysis of a Soft Cubic Module (SCM) with a single internal pneu-matically actuated chamber. The actuation chamber’s shape, size and, orientation have been evaluated to real-ize a soft robotic actuator which can be further employed for the development of modular soft robotic systems.

The Role of the Robot Mass and Velocity in Physical Human-Robot Interaction - Part II: Constrained Blunt Impacts [PDF]

, 2008
Accidents occurring with classical industrial robots often lead to fatal injuries. Presumably, this is to a great extent caused by the possibility of clamping the human in the confined workspace of the robot.
