Design of Shape Memory Alloy-Based Soft Wearable Robot for Assisting Wrist Motion

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
In this paper, we propose a shape memory alloy (SMA)-based wearable robot that assists the wrist motion for patients who have difficulties in manipulating the lower arm. Since SMA shows high contraction strain when it is designed as a form of coil spring

Kinematic and Dynamic Analysis of the 2-DOF Spherical Wrist of Orthoglide 5-axis [PDF]

open access: yesTroisi\`eme Congr\`es International. Conception et Mod\'elisation des Syst\`emes M\'ecaniques, Hammamet : Tunisie (2009), 2009
This paper deals with the kinematics and dynamics of a two degree of freedom spherical manipulator, the wrist of Orthoglide 5-axis. The latter is a parallel kinematics machine composed of two manipulators: i) the Orthoglide 3-axis; a three-dof translational parallel manipulator that belongs to the family of Delta robots, and ii) the Agile eye; a two ...
