Abstract: Compact actuators, low friction and back-drivable transmissions are essential components in haptic and impedance type surgical robotic systems, since their performances affect overall volume, force feedback capability and power consumption. An innovative miniaturized, low friction, back-drivable reducing mechanism for haptic or surgical robot applications has been designed, developed and evaluated. A new differential mechanism having a cable comprises a sheave wheel supported by a yolk is also implemented. Low friction and back-drivable, compared to conventional non-back-drivable mechanisms based on gear coupling, is achieved by means of differential cable driven method. The system has been integrated with a permanent-magnet DC motor and a drum on which a tendon is wound, and then finally connected to the remote end joint. Several experiments to validate the feasibility of the reducing device were carried out.

TL;DR: This work mainly put forward a novel synchronous belt drive as an illuminating case with the potential and constraints of AM, which completely demonstrates the intrinsic nature of digital design, interactive design and custom design from/with/for AM, as well as the ever-expanding room for innovation.
Abstract: As a digital and direct manufacturing technology, additive manufacturing (AM) presents a powerful and unrestrained revolution for creative design. However the breakthrough in manufacturing technology is yet to be followed by a breakthrough in design. Firstly, the state-of-the-art overview of the existing design methods for AM is presented. Furthermore, as part of a fully 3D printed robot we envisioned, this work mainly put forward a novel synchronous belt drive as an illuminating case with the potential and constraints of AM. After capturing the flexibility based on shape innovation, a new type of continuous trapezoidal tooth belt transmission without matrix was designed. Next, using the nonlinear finite elements method, the effect laws of belt’s parameters such as tooth height, tooth width, wedge angle and belt thickness were studied on the carrying capacity of belt transmission with pre-tensioning. Moreover, a new type of synchronous belt and timing pulleys were made via the 3D printing process of fused deposition modeling with the flexible polylactic acid (PLA) material. Lastly, a driving test was carried out and the experimental results showed that the presented 3D printed trapezoidal tooth belt transmission was stable, and could meet the requirements of low speed, small power transmission, especially apt to digital design and customization. This work completely demonstrates the intrinsic nature of digital design, interactive design and custom design from/with/for AM, as well as the ever-expanding room for innovation.

TL;DR: A novel high-performance, cable-drive module with rolling cable transmissions (RoCT) that can efficiently transmit motion and mechanical power from an input to an output via an inner cable/rope and its properties are presented.
Abstract: Bowden cables are frequently used as remote transmissions on wearable devices because of their light weight, simplicity, and flexibility of design. However, a Bowden cable suffers from inefficiency, nonlinear backlash, and cable tension variation due to the bending of the cable housing and friction losses, leading to deteriorating force control performance, and a wearers comfort level and augmentation effectiveness. In this paper, to enhance wearable device performance and to overcome the above drawbacks, we propose a novel high-performance, cable-drive module with rolling cable transmissions (RoCT) that can efficiently transmit motion and mechanical power from an input to an output via an inner cable/rope. The RoCT is compact, modular, lightweight, extremely stiff, highly backdrivable, and is freely rotatable and translatable during manipulation. It maintains the cable tension regardless of the transmission angle between the input and output. The configuration of the proposed tethered cable-drive module, the working principle of the rolling cable transmission, and its properties, are introduced. Mechanical designs based on the working principle are also provided. Finally, as one of the applications of the proposed module, a tethered ankle exoskeleton system and its experimental results demonstrating the properties of the proposed transmission are presented.

TL;DR: It turns out that the consideration of the pulleys into the geometric model of the robot improves the mass and center of mass estimations of the payload.
Abstract: The subject of this paper is about the use of a suspended Cable-Driven Parallel Robot (CDPR) for pick-and-place operations of heavy and heterogeneous objects. The knowledge of the payload mass and its center of mass in realtime is an asset for robust control of the device, which is required to ensure a good stability, especially when the objects have different shapes, sizes and masses. Accordingly, this paper aims at experimentally evaluating the effects of (i) the pulleys modeling and (ii) the use of force sensors for the payload estimation. It turns out that the consideration of the pulleys into the geometric model of the robot improves the mass and center of mass estimations of the payload. A comparison is made between the estimation of cable tensions from force sensors and from motor currents. Finally, a torque controller with a feedforward term for real-time mass compensation is proposed and implemented on a CDPR prototype.

TL;DR: A mechanism consisting of a pair of noncircular pulleys with a constant-length cable that allows to generate nonmonotonic motions at the output of the arrangement, i.e., the location of the idler pulley redirecting the cable.
Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a mechanism consisting of a pair of noncircular pulleys with a constant-length cable. While a single noncircular pulley is generally limited to continuously winding or unwinding, the differential cable routing proposed here allows to generate non-monotonic motions at the output of the arrangement, i.e. the location of the idler pulley redirecting the cable. The equations relating its motion to rotation angles of the noncircular pulleys and to the cable length are presented in the first part of this paper. Next, we introduce a graphical method allowing us to obtain the required pulley profiles for a given output function. Our approach is finally demonstrated with two application examples: the guiding of a cable-suspended robot along a complex trajectory using a single actuator, and the static balancing of a pendulum with a 360 degree rotational range of motion.

TL;DR: A distributed design of passive particleJamming soft gripper is proposed, which can increase the bending angle of an integral passive particle jamming gripper from 50° to 76°, while roughly maintaining the gripper's rotational stiffness and maximum pull-out forces.
Abstract: In soft bending gripper design, the concept of passive particle jamming can play an important role in improving certain properties of the gripper. It has been proved that its stiffness could exhibit six-fold change through varying air pressure. However, the integral design of a particle sac has negative effect on grippers' compliance, limiting its broader applications. Since passive particle jamming does not need any dedicated actuation and control, its design into a soft bending actuator allows more variations. This paper proposes a distributed design of passive particle jamming soft gripper, which can increase the bending angle of an integral passive particle jamming gripper from 50° to 76°, while roughly maintaining the gripper's rotational stiffness and maximum pull-out forces. The proposed gripper design is 3D printed using an elastomer material and filled with particles manually. Given the simple design and fabrication process, together with improved grasping compliance, it is expected that this research will stimulate more interest in exploring novel applications of passive particle jamming in soft robot design and development.

TL;DR: In this article, the free and forced nonlinear vibration of a viscoelastic transporting belt supported by pulleys is analyzed for the first time, and the static equilibrium configuration caused by the nonhomogeneous boundary conditions is determined by developing a numerical iteration scheme.
Abstract: This paper focuses on the free and forced nonlinear vibration of a viscoelastic transporting belt supported by pulleys for the first time. The transporting belt boundary conditions are usually specified as simply supported or fixed. Therefore, the static equilibrium of the belt is supposed to remain straight. However, the belt wraps around two pulleys in most practical mechanical systems. The round support of the pulleys causes nonhomogeneous terms in the boundary condition. A nonlinear dynamic model is established to describe the transverse vibration of the transporting belt. The static equilibrium configuration caused by the nonhomogeneous boundary conditions is determined by developing a numerical iteration scheme. By means of coordinate transformation, the influence of nonhomogeneous boundary conditions is eliminated. Then, the natural frequencies of transverse vibration of the belt around the equilibrium configuration are obtained by adopting the differential quadrature method. Furthermore, the inertia excitation of the belt system is taken from the periodic motion of the foundation. In dynamic mechanical systems, this kind of fluctuation induced by the engine is very common. By applying the differential quadrature method and the Runge–Kutta time discretization, the time histories of the forced vibration are numerically calculated. Resonance areas of the belt are studied by using the frequency sweep. Moreover, parametric studies are carried out to understand the influences of the system parameters. It is concluded that pulley support ends cause nonhomogeneous boundaries and the static equilibrium configuration, and consequences are exacerbated by transmission speed.

TL;DR: A novel cable actuation mechanism using noncircular pulleys or gears is expected to be applicable to various miniature robots such as surgical robots and animal robots of continuum structure in the future.
Abstract: Various slim robots, such as surgical robots or humanoid robot fingers, are remotely actuated using transmission cables. If pull–pull drive is applied to actuate them using circular driving spools regardless of the shape of the joints, the tension of the driving cable becomes difficult to be maintained properly. Fortunately, it is possible to solve such a cable slack problem by providing an appropriate cable actuation length to the joint structure of the robot from the cable driving unit. Therefore, we propose a harmonious nonlinear cable actuation mechanism suitable for driving noncircular shaped joints. The proposed cable driver can mechanically provide the required cable actuation length to suit the angle change of the target joint using a pair of noncircular pulleys without increasing the number of actuators. In this paper, a design methodology of a noncircular pulley that can be applied to pulleyless rolling joints (PR joints) as well as pulleyless hinge joints is shown. Moreover, a practical cable driver is designed for actuating a hyper-redundant discrete bending joint composed of PR joints, and its effectiveness is verified through experiments. This novel cable actuation mechanism using noncircular pulleys or gears is expected to be applicable to various miniature robots such as surgical robots and animal robots of continuum structure in the future.

TL;DR: It is shown that the proposed method can provide automated, remote, and safe detection of belt-pulley defects based on existing current measurements for improving system reliability and efficiency.
Abstract: V-belt–pulley couplings are commonly used for speed reduction in induction-motor-driven industrial applications since they provide flexible transmission of power at low cost. However, they are susceptible to mechanical defects such as belt wear or crack that can cause slippage or damage of the belt and lead to decrease in efficiency and lifetime of the system. There are many limitations to applying existing tests such as visual inspection, thermal or mechanical monitoring as they require visual, or physical access to the system and/or costly sensors. Considering the large quantity of belt–pulley systems employed in industry, the impact of the economic loss incurred by low-efficiency operation, and unplanned process outages is significant. In this paper, electrical monitoring of belt–pulley coupling defects based on the analysis and trending of the stator current frequency spectrum under steady-state and starting conditions is presented. The proposed method is verified on the following: 1) 6.6-kV motor-driven pulpers; and 2) a custom-built motor-driven air compressor with speed reduction belt–pulleys under controlled fault conditions. It is shown that the proposed method can provide automated, remote, and safe detection of belt–pulley defects based on existing current measurements for improving system reliability and efficiency. It is also shown that the proposed method can be applied to vibration measurements for motors where vibration sensors are installed.

TL;DR: This approach is the first ultrasound method for accurately diagnosing A3 pulley ruptures and the distance measurement between VP and tendon was found to be a valid indirect method for the diagnosis.
Abstract: Rationale and Objectives Pulley ruptures are the most common injuries in sport climbing. Ruptures of the A2 and A4 pulleys have been studied extensively, and ultrasound has proven to be a highly sensitive and specific tool for their diagnosis. However, the correct diagnosis of A3 pulley ruptures continues to be a challenge. Therefore, we investigated a novel approach to this pathology. Material and Methods Eighteen fingers from nine different human cadavers were examined using high-resolution, dynamic ultrasound before and after being subjected to different combinations of singular and multiple iatrogenic pulley ruptures in a standardised fashion. Special attention was paid to the behaviour of the volar plate (VP) with respect to the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) and the flexor tendons before and after pulley rupture. Results Injuries to the A2 and A4 pulleys were diagnosed via ultrasound with sensitivities of 90 % and 94 % and specificities of 100 % and 97 %, respectively. A direct visualisation of the A3 pulley was achieved in 61 % of the fingers. The VP became significantly thicker and shorter during finger flexion as well as after A3 pulley rupture. The distance between tendon and VP became significantly more pronounced after A3 pulley rupture. For distances greater than 0.9 mm between VP and tendon, a sensitivity of 76 % and a specificity of 94 % were achieved for determining A3 pulley ruptures. Conclusion The distance measurement between VP and tendon was found to be a valid indirect method for the diagnosis of A3 pulley ruptures. This approach is the first ultrasound method for accurately diagnosing A3 pulley ruptures.
