A task-space formulation of passive force control
TL;DR: In this paper, a passive robotic wrist can be programmed to execute a wide range of force control laws of potential use in automated assembly, and the authors conduct a systematic study to characterize the range of control laws (given by admittance matrices) implementable by passive programmable mechanical devices.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Catastrophe and Stability Analysis of a Cable-Driven Actuator
TL;DR: The study concludes that for a range of design options, the MARIONET does not suffer from any catastrophes, however, the unique behaviors such as a unidirectional bifurcation produced by certain configurations may have use outside of the objectives, perhaps as a type of switch or valve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulling your strings
TL;DR: The method of moment arm manipulation for remote induction of net effective torque (MARIONET) is found to have distinct advantages that make it feasible for home rehabilitation as well as potential outside of the field.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
High performance Cobotics
TL;DR: The design and performance of the cobotic hand controller, a recently developed six-degree-of-freedom haptic display, is reviewed and a thorough comparison of the power efficiency of a cobotic system versus a conventional electro-mechanical system is provided.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The contribution of air to ultrasonic friction reduction
TL;DR: Compared to atmospheric pressure, a 98% vacuum inside the chamber was observed to markedly diminish the friction reduction effect, suggesting that squeeze film levitation does indeed play a substantial role in ultrasonic friction reduction.
