Furthermore, they can change their structure not only through morphing, but also by self-reconfiguration of the cells. A crucial component of the cells, which can preserve the underlying geometry of a triangular mesh, are six-bar linkages. The main part of the present contribution concerns the six-bar linkages as a fully 3D-printable compliant mechanism where each revolute joint of the six-bar linkage is replaced with a notch flexure hinge with circular contour. There are two key drawbacks associated with the use of notch flexure hinges, namely, compliance in the flexure hinges and the fact that the center of rotation is not maintained. For self-reconfiguration of the cells, an efficient model is needed to predict the positioning errors. Therefore, the flexure hinge is represented by three distinct models, namely a finite element model, a beam model, and a simplified linearized model based on translational and rotational spring elements. These models are compared and evaluated in succession first to identify the parameters of the simplified model and later on, the simplified model is used to show the deviations of a medium-scaled programmable structure with respect to the idealized behavior. The current work brings us closer to both the development of programmable mechanical structures and the prediction of positioning errors during self-reconfiguration.","PeriodicalId":49155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45074088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current limitation of robot-assisted femur fracture surgery is the lack of large force generation and sufficient workspace size in traditional mechanisms. To address these challenges, our group has created a 3-RRPS parallel mechanism, Robossis, which maintains the strength of parallel mechanisms while improving the translational and rotational workspace volume. In this paper, an optimal design methodology of parallel mechanisms for application to robot-assisted femur fracture surgery using a single-objective genetic algorithm is proposed. The genetic algorithm will use a single objective function to evaluate the various configurations based on the clinical and mechanical design criteria for femur fracture surgery as well as the global conditioning index. The objective function is composed of the desired translational and rotational workspaces based on the design criteria, the dynamic load-carrying capacity, and the homogenous-Jacobian global conditioning index. Lastly, experimental results of Robossis were obtained to validate the kinematic solution and the mechanism itself; Robossis had an average error of 0.31mm during experimental force testing.","PeriodicalId":49155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47859964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these theoretical models are indispensable parts of motion control. Therefore, this paper focus on establishing the kinematics, dynamics and stiffness models for an Exechon-like hybrid robot, which are then used for error compensation and velocity planning to improve the robot motion performance. Firstly, the kinematic model is derived through intermediate parameters and the kinematics equivalent chains. By analyzing the parasitic motion due to few-DOF, the redundant equations in the model are eliminated to obtain the solution of inverse kinematics. Secondly, based on the beam element, the optimal equivalent configuration of the moving platform which connects the parallel part and serial part is determined and then an entire equivalent structure of the robot is formed. It helps establish the stiffness model by using the Matrix Structure Analysis method. Next, the dynamic model is established by combining the Newton Euler method with co-deformation theory to solve the underdetermined dynamic equations caused by redundant constraints. Finally, the compensation method is designed based on the stiffness model and kinematic model to improve the end positioning accuracy of the robot; the velocity planning algorithm is designed based on the dynamic model and kinematic model to enhance the smoothness of the robot motion. The methods proposed in this paper are also of referential significance to other Exechon-like hybrid robots.","PeriodicalId":49155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42451560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this research, therefore, various swimming locomotion patterns within the BCF (body and/or caudal fin) family are analyzed for kinematics & hydrodynamics using analytical methods and CFD (computational fluid dynamics) to inspire the robot fish design for improved swimming performance. Via straightforward design and fabrication, the swimming performance of the numerical robot fish is verified by means of simulation using 3D CFD and the prototype performance is validated using in-water experimental tests. This study showcases a new easy-to-design and easy-to-fabricate robust biomimetic robot fish with comparable swimming performance, which has good potential for purposes like education, research, and entertainment.","PeriodicalId":49155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43280625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Grippers have been investigated in terms of the energy efficiency and accuracy of gripping; however, the limited number of gripping states hinders the holding of objects of various shapes. In this study, an energy-efficient gripper was developed to accommodate both convex and concave shapes using a tristable structure that combines two bistable structures, with shape memory alloy wires used as actuators. Different gripping modes were designed for convex and concave shapes, based on three states of the gripper: gripping, open, and holding. The gripper consisted of a driving part with a leaf spring for a “linear snap action”, and a soft finger part with an elastic ring and pre-stressed fingers. Geometric variables were adjusted to construct a tristable energy curve through experiments and analyses. The fabricated gripper weighed about 140 g and was capable of gripping convex objects of up to 80 g, and concave objects of about 120 g. Only a small amount of energy was consumed in the switching states, and the gripper maintained a stable state while gripping with no energy consumption. It is expected that this research will contribute to lightweight and energy-efficient grippers for application to drones, for example.","PeriodicalId":49155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47607115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of these robots comprise multiple segments and require multiple actuators to realize the pipeline locomotion, resulting in complicated system composition and large energy consumption. In this paper, inspired by the crawling principles of earthworm locomotion, we propose a single-actuated camshaft robot that can realize multiple sequential motions for pipeline crawling. The proposed singled-actuated camshaft robot contains one actuator and three segments: head anchoring, body elongation, and rear anchoring segment. The multiple sequential motions of these three segments are realized based on the cam mechanisms. Umbrella-shaped elastic rubbers are longitudinally arranged around the head and rear anchoring segments. Each segment contains a cam bracket. The camshaft's rotatory motion pushes the cam brackets to generate the axial translational motion, resulting in the umbrella-shaped elastic rubbers being expanded or contracted. The proposed camshaft robot's expansion and contraction motion are sequentially realized by the phase deviation of the camshafts. First, the structures of the proposed robot are designed. Then, the cam curves are modeled, the expansion/contraction ratio of the rear/head anchoring segment is calculated, the phase deviation of the camshafts is determined, and multiple sequential motions of the proposed robot are simulated. Finally, we fabricate the proposed camshaft robot and carry out crawling experiments in pipelines with different shapes and diameters.","PeriodicalId":49155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43176809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
