RT Actuator Demonstration
Last Updated on Wednesday, 15 December 2010 09:05 Written by Administrator Saturday, 28 August 2010 06:08
The RT actuator based on mechanically controlled stiffness was developed at the Biorobotics Laboratory in Korea. The advantages of RT actuator are that the control of position and stiffness can be fully independent. By using four springs, the RT actuator has fast dynamic response, wide range of stiffness. In this video, we show how the RT actuator work and safety in collision with humanoid robot.

In order to closely follow the motion of the human arm, exoskeletons are designed with the seven principal degrees of freedom (DOF) of the human arm: shoulder (3), elbow (1), and wrist (3).

RT Actuator (Patent Pending )
During the past 50 years the assertion of most robotic designers concerning actuation was: “the stiffer the better”. This assertion holds true for standard industrial robotic applications which require accurate, reference-trajectory tracking. For the next 50 years a whole new generation of robots will be used in daily society of which the fundaments are developed today. For the advancement of these new robots, compliant, safe, and new actuators are one of the important issues turning energy efficiently into safe motion.

Designing 8 Degrees of Freedom Humanoid Robotic Arm
Last Updated on Monday, 14 March 2011 10:02 Written by Administrator Friday, 05 February 2010 14:39
This study presents the processes undertaken in the design and development of an intelligent 8 degrees of freedom (DOF) humanoid robotic arm using specified-made parts. The robotic arm imitates a human arm and able to grasp many objects of different shapes and sizes ranging from a small pen to a large ball. The robotic arm consists of a shoulder, an elbow, a wrist and five fingers and each finger is designed with three moveable sections except only two for the thumb. The sections in each finger will either be pushed or pulled synchronously using internal linkages and controlled by a 18F4431 microcontroller. Basic movement is pre-programmed to ensure that all the movement is within the allowable constrains, and can be controlled by human operator or automatically controlled by a computer. The 8 DOFs humanoid robotic arm provides wide trajectory coverage over the three-dimensional space around the base. The specified trajectory of each finger, wrist and arm are bio-inspired and carefully designed to resemble the humanpsilas arm movement.
