Control and Virtual Reality Simulation of Tendon Driven Mechanisms [PDF]
This paper presents a new simple control strategy for tendon driven mechanisms based on an open algorithm. The virtual reality mark-up language is used to visualise the global behaviour of tendon driven mechanisms.

Haptic Glove Using Tendon-Driven Soft Robotic Mechanism [PDF]
Recent advancements in virtual reality and augmented reality call for light-weight and compliant haptic interfaces to maximize the task-performance interactivity with the virtual or extended environment. Noting this, we propose a haptic glove using a tendon-driven compliant robotic mechanism.

Dynamic Analysis of Tendon Driven Robotic Mechanisms [PDF]
AbstractIn this paper, a systematic methodology for the dynamic analysis of tendon‐driven robotic mechanisms is presented. The approach utilizes the recursive Newton‐Euler equations to compute the kinematic and dynamic equations of all links that locate on the transmission line of a tendon‐driven robotic mechanism.

Fault-Tolerant Six-DoF Pose Estimation for Tendon-Driven Continuum Mechanisms [PDF]
We propose a fault-tolerant estimation technique for the six-DoF pose of a tendon-driven continuum mechanisms using machine learning. In contrast to previous estimation techniques, no deformation model is required, and the pose prediction is rather performed with polynomial regression.

Design of Tendon-Driven Mechanism Using Geometrical Condition [PDF]
A tendon-driven robot offers many advantages, such as easy designs for mass distribution that facilitate dexterous motion. A procedure to design such a robot using a single actuator to achieve the desired force direction and magnitude on an endpoint is presented herein.

Tendon proper- and peritenon-derived progenitor cells have unique tenogenic properties. [PDF]
IntroductionMultipotent progenitor populations exist within the tendon proper and peritenon of the Achilles tendon. Progenitor populations derived from the tendon proper and peritenon are enriched with distinct cell types that are distinguished by ...

Molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the evolution of form and function in the amniote jaw. [PDF]
The amniote jaw complex is a remarkable amalgamation of derivatives from distinct embryonic cell lineages. During development, the cells in these lineages experience concerted movements, migrations, and signaling interactions that take them from their ...

A hyper-redundant manipulator [PDF]
“Hyper-redundant” manipulators have a very large number of actuatable degrees of freedom. The benefits of hyper-redundant robots include the ability to avoid obstacles, increased robustness with respect to mechanical failure, and the ability to perform ...
