Abstract: Fabric-based pneumatic actuators (FPAs) are extensively employed in the design of lightweight and compliant soft wearable assistive gloves. However, conventional FPAs typically exhibit ...

Advances in linear motors and hybrid actuators are pushing motion systems toward higher precision, speed and efficiency. A key part of achieving this performance is the integration of drives with ...

Staring at a crossroad of their season, the Pittsburgh Steelers are in a situation similar to what transpired 20 years ago when the team faced a string of must-win games late in the year. The 2005 ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel variable stiffness actuator (VSA) based on a cam-leaf spring mechanism, namely, CLSM-VSA. A sophisticatedly designed cam is used to regulate the transmission ...
