Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio-Hybrid Robots. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2021 This paper proposes an underactuated grippers mechanism that grasps and pulls in different types of objects. These two movements are generated by only a single actuator while two independent actuators are used in conventional grippers.

Advances in Finger and Partial Hand Prosthetic Mechanisms
Robotics, 2020 Approximately 70% of the upper extremity amputations refers to partial hand loss with the involvement of one or more fingers. Historically, this type of limb amputation has been addressed adopting simple opposition designs that use the movement of the ...

A Single-Actuated, Cable-Driven, and Self-Contained Robotic Hand Designed for Adaptive Grasps
Robotics, 2021 Developing a dexterous robotic hand that mimics natural human hand movements is challenging due to complicated hand anatomy. Such a practical design should address several requirements, which are often conflicting and force the designer to prioritize the

A novel design method for underactuated variable oscillation mechanisms
Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2015 For variable oscillation mechanisms, if output stroke is decreased, output-link force will increase for a same input due to the mechanical advantage. Thus, in order to eliminate input actuator stall phenomena for cases where sudden increase occurs at ...
