Strain wave gear reducers, also known as harmonic drives, are widely used in industrial robots and collaborative robots. The zero-backlash feature is very important for these applications. However, this places extremely high demands on the machining...
This study focuses on the slewing and vibration suppression of flexible single-link manipulators. While extensive research has been conducted on such systems, few studies have experimentally validated their theoretical models. To address this gap, an...
The VITAL-E (Versatile Innovative Testing Low-Cycle Fatigue for Elastomers) project introduces a shift in low-cycle fatigue (LCF) testing by replacing traditional hydraulic systems with an electromechanical solution. Hydraulic machines, although wide...
In modern robotics, actuators are crucial for achieving effective movement and ensuring robustness. Although different applications demand specific actuator qualities, an actuator with built-in compliance and high torque density is generally preferre...
The mechanical characterization of elastomers requires particular attention to multiaxial deformation states, as their service behavior is rarely governed by simple loads. Instead, performance and failure mechanisms are strongly influenced by complex...
Just and fair transitions to low-carbon and nature-positive ways of living need to occur fast enough to limit and reverse the climate and nature crises, but not so fast that the public is left behind. We propose the concept of “Regenerative Goo...
Internal gear mechanism is widely used in micro-nano satellites due to its compact structure and high precision transmission. However, the vibration coupling caused by the small clearance coupling is more obvious and cannot be ignored under low speed...
This paper proposes an adaptive fuzzy prescribed-time output feedback control approach for strict-feedback nonlinear cyber–physical systems (CPSs) subjected to malicious attacks, output constraints, and backlash-like hysteresis. To approximate...
Titanium alloy is widely used for orthodontic technology and easily machined using the EDM process. In the EDM process, the workpiece and tool electrode must be separated by a continuous air gap during the machining operation to generate discharge en...
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...
This study proposes a design approach and the development of a low-power planar biped robot named YU-Bibot. The kinematic structure of the robot consists of six independently driven axes, and it weighs approximately 20 kg. Based on biomimetics, the r...
This study addresses the challenge of accurately modeling the dynamic behavior of industrial robots for precision manufacturing applications. Using a comprehensive experimental approach with modal impulse hammer testing and triaxial acceleration meas...
