Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in shape memory polymer actuation
TL;DR: Shape memory materials fulfill an important role in both actuation and mechanical coupling between actuators and associated dynamic systems as discussed by the authors, but the basic physical principles are very different and this paper attempts to outline the current state-of-theart to those already involved with the technology and perhaps open a fresh chapter in smart materials to those who are new to it.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal tactile sensing
G.J. Monkman,P.M. Taylor +1 more
TL;DR: The authors consider human tactile performance with particular regard to temperature sensing and introduce a means by which a usable risetime may be achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of femoral shaft fractures in vitro by a new developed reduction robot system 'RepoRobo'.
Bernd Füchtmeier,Stefan Egersdoerfer,Ronny Mai,Rainer Hente,Daniel Dragoi,G.J. Monkman,Michael Nerlich +6 more
TL;DR: In the research project presented here, a synthetic femur with integrated tensioned mainspring and a 32-A3 type fracture served as a bone reduction model and a Stäubli robot was converted by appropriate modification so that it could be used for the reduction of femoral shaft fractures in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compliant robotic devices, and electroadhesion
TL;DR: This paper illustrates means by which the techniques of compliance and electroadhesion can be combined to provide very effective shape adaptive robot end-effectors and similar holding surface.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Electrostatic grippers for fabric handling
TL;DR: It is explained why handling by contact, by air jet separation and by vacuum pick-up are inappropriate and how robotic grippers using electrostatic adhesion are used to accomplish the task.
