Outils pour l’identification des paramètres de raideur des robots à l’aide d’un logiciel de CAO [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This report proposes a CAD-based approach for identification of the elasto-static parameters of the robotic manipulators. The main contributions are in the areas of virtual experiment planning and algorithmic data processing, which allows to obtain the ...

Concept for design of variable stiffness damper [PDF]

open access: yes, 1967
Damping mechanism, containing polymeric-like materials is applicable to a wide range of shock and vibration. The polymeric-like material changes from a relatively stiff material to a relatively soft, rubbery material in the region of their glass ...

The Variable Stiffness Actuator vsaUT-II: Mechanical Design, Modeling, and Identification

open access: yesIEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, 2014
In this paper, the rotational variable stiffness actuator vsaUT-II is presented. This actuation system is characterized by the property that the apparent stiffness at the actuator output can be varied independently from its position. This behavior is realized by implementing a variable transmission ratio between the internal elastic elements and the ...

Design of a 3-Axis Compliant Robotic Deburring Tool with Force Sensing and Variable Stiffness Capabilities [PDF]

open access: yes한국정밀공학회지
In this paper, a deburring tool with 3-axis compliance is presented for deburring using a robot manipulator. Compliance is provided with beam structures instead of pneumatic pressure, which enables integrated 3-axis force sensing and variable stiffness ...

Cell body rocking is a dominant mechanism for flagellar synchronization in a swimming alga

open access: yes, 2013
The unicellular green algae Chlamydomonas swims with two flagella, which can synchronize their beat. Synchronized beating is required to swim both fast and straight.

Design and Experimental Development of a Pneumatic Stiffness Adjustable Foot System for Biped Robots Adaptable to Bumps on the Ground

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2017
Walking on rough terrains still remains a challenge that needs to be addressed for biped robots because the unevenness on the ground can easily disrupt the walking stability. This paper proposes a novel foot system with passively adjustable stiffness for
