Development of a New Embedded Dynamometer for the Measurement of Forces and Torques at the Ski-Binding Interface

Alain Schorderet, Alain Michel Prenleloup, Frédéric Meyer

In alpine skiing, understanding the interaction between skiers and snow is of primary importance for both injury prevention as well as performance analysis. Risk of injuries is directly linked to constraints undergone by the skier. A force platform placed ...

Delicate yet strong: characterizing the electro-adhesion lifting force with a soft gripper

Herbert Shea, Jun Shintake, Vito Cacucciolo

Compliant grippers are one of the most promising soft robotic devices for industrial tasks. Soft grippers dramatically simplify grasping control because the gripper automatically conforms to the object's shape. A common limitation of soft structures is tha ...

Radial-Force-Based Swirling Actuator with Surface-Permanent-Magnet Structure for Low-Speed High-Torque Applications

Adrien Jean-Michel Thabuis

This paper proposes a swirling actuator that utilizes the electromagnetic radial force and a swirling gear to generate rotational torque. This actuator converts the swirling motion to the rotational motion and is suitable for low-speed high-torque applicat ...

Self-sensing, tunable monolayer MoS2 nanoelectromechanical resonators

Andras Kis, Sajedeh Manzeli, Dumitru Dumcenco, Guilherme Migliato Marega

Excellent mechanical properties and the presence of piezoresistivity make single layers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) viable candidates for integration in nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). We report on the realization of electromechanical ...

A Dynamical System Approach to Motion and Force Generation in Contact Tasks

Aude Billard, Walid Amanhoud, Mahdi Khoramshahi

Many tasks require the robot to enter in contact with surfaces, be it to take support, to polish or to grasp an object. It is crucial that the robot controls forces both upon making contact and while in contact. While many solutions exist to control for co ...
