This research aims to investigate the practicality and feasibility of pneumatic muscle actuators (PMAs) applied in the pneumatic servo system. The mechanism consists of closed symmetrical planar robotic arms driven by two pairs of opposing PMAs, whos...
This work introduces two cooperative dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) array designs, enabling comparison between a fully soft, wearable-oriented system and a rigid, high-performance platform. The soft silicone-based array achieves strokes up to 1....
End-effectors are becoming increasingly vital in orbital space missions, performing increasingly complex operational tasks. Current on-orbit missions primarily utilize net systems and rigid grippers as manipulators. However, the dynamic analysis of t...
This paper deals with the mechanical design and kinematic analysis of an autonomous wrist for space assembly (AWSA) whose actuators are activated by DC motors and ball screw drives. This robotic wrist was developed and built as a prototype to investi...
Piezoelectric synthetic jet actuators typically struggle to generate high-speed jets at low driving frequencies due to the coupling effect between jet frequency and jet intensity. This limitation to some extent restricts their application in flow con...
Soft robotics has emerged as a promising approach for safe human–machine interaction, adaptive manipulation, and bioinspired motion, yet its progress relies on accurate material characterization and structural analysis of actuators. This study...
This paper presents a method to design a static output feedback active suspension controller with a quarter-car model for motion sickness mitigation. To mitigate motion sickness in a vehicle, it has been known that the vertical acceleration and pitch...
In modern robotics, actuator performance is fundamental to achieving efficient and durable motion, with compactness and torque density being especially critical. Compact actuators enable integration in space-constrained systems without compromising f...
Due to the limitations of traditional micropumps in terms of miniaturization and integration, ferrofluid micropumps, as emerging microfluidic driving devices, exhibit significant application potential due to their unique pumping mechanism. Research o...
As terrestrial oil and gas resources continue to decline, deep-sea oil and gas development has become a strategic priority. A wide range of production equipment must be deployed on the seabed, among which subsea wet-mateable connectors are indispensa...
