3D printed large amplitude torsional microactuators powered by ultrasound

Mahmut Selman Sakar, Amit Yedidia Dolev, Mehdi Ali Gadiri, Junsun Hwang

Here, we introduce a design, fabrication, and control methodology for large amplitude torsional microactuators powered by ultrasound. The microactuators are 3D printed from two polymers with drastically different elastic moduli as a monolithic compliant me ...

Mechanism balancing taxonomy

Simon Nessim Henein, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans, Florent Cosandier

The balancing of mechanisms consists in distributing their moving masses, inertias, and elastic components in order to achieve key mechanical properties, such as the elimination of the shaking forces and moments exported onto their supporting structure or ...

Strength and timing of primary and secondary vortices generated by a rotating plate

Karen Ann J Mulleners, Diego Francescangeli

Accurate predictions of how vortices grow, evolve, and separate from aerodynamic objects are desirable for various applications ranging from autonomous aerial vehicles to wind turbines. Here, we present an experimental characterisation of the formation pro ...

Triple Crossed Flexure Pivot Based on a Zero Parasitic Center Shift Kinematic Design

Simon Nessim Henein, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann

Thanks to their absence of play, absence of contact friction and possible monolithic fabrication, flexure pivots offer advantages over traditional bearings in small-scale, high accuracy applications and environments where lubrication and wear debris are pr ...

A hybrid control strategy for force and precise end effector positioning of a twisted string actuator

Jamie Paik, Andres San Millan Rodriguez, Mohssen Fischer

We propose a new control approach for the twisted string actuation (TSA) system; a hybrid control scheme consisting of two nested loops, considering the motor angle and the axial force at the clamping point of the actuator as the system outputs. We show th ...

Haptic feedback perception and learning with cable-driven guidance in exosuit teleoperation of a simulated drone

Auke Ijspeert, Dario Floreano, Vivek Ramachandran, Amy Roning Wu, Carine Rognon

Robotics teleoperation enables human operators to control the movements of distally located robots. The development of new wearable interfaces as alternatives to hand-held controllers has created new modalities of control, which are more intuitive to use. ...

Haptic Guidance with a Soft Exoskeleton Reduces Error in Drone Teleoperation

Auke Ijspeert, Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Amy Roning Wu, Carine Rognon

Haptic guidance has been shown to improve performance in many fields as it can give additional information without overloading other sensory channels such as vision or audition. Our group is investigating new intuitive ways to interact with robots, and we ...

Range-based underwater target localization using an autonomous surface vehicle: Observability analysis

In the field of marine robotics, the problem of range based underwater target localization can be defined as that of localizing an unknown - fixed or moving - target from a surface vehicle called the tracker, using range information available about the tar ...

Mapping GNSS Restricted Environment with a Drone Tandem and Indirect Position Control

Davide Antonio Cucci, Emmanuel Pierre Quentin Clédat

The problem of autonomously mapping highly cluttered environments, such as urban and natural canyons, is intractable with the current UAV technology. The reason lies in the absence or unreliability of GNSS signals due to partial sky occlusion or multi-path ...

Drift Reduction for Inertial Sensor Based Orientation and Position Estimation in the Presence of High Dynamic Variability During Competitive Skiing and Daily-Life Walking

Benedikt Fasel

Nowadays inertial sensors are extensively used for gait analysis. They can be used to perform temporal event detection (i.e. step detection) and to estimate the orientation of the feet and other body segments to determine walking speed and distance. Usuall ...

Accurate Angular Velocity Estimation with an Event Camera

Davide Scaramuzza

We present an algorithm to estimate the rotational motion of an event camera. In contrast to traditional cameras, which produce images at a fixed rate, event cameras have independent pixels that respond asynchronously to brightness changes, with microsecon ...

Validation of functional calibration and strap-down joint drift correction for computing 3D joint angles of knee, hip, and trunk in alpine skiing

Kamiar Aminian, Benedikt Fasel

To obtain valid 3D joint angles with inertial sensors careful sensor-to-segment calibration (i.e. functional or anatomical calibration) is required and measured angular velocity at each sensor needs to be integrated to obtain segment and joint orientation ...

Motion-based nearest vector metric for reference frame selection in the perception of motion

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke

We investigated how the visual system selects a reference frame for the perception of motion. Two concentric arcs underwent circular motion around the center of the display, where observers fixated. The outer (target) arc's angular velocity profile was mod ...

Intracorporeal anchoring and guiding system with permanent magnet force modulation

Lionel Flaction

Magnetic manipulation of objects within the body is a growing field of research since the second half of the last century. Therapeutic and diagnostic capabilities offered by such technology are extended with the clinical need to make procedures less invasi ...

High-speed CMOS magnetic angle sensor based on miniaturized circular vertical Hall devices

Radivoje Popovic, Mirjana Banjevic

We present a high-speed CMOS integrated magnetic angle sensor consisting of two 8-contact circular vertical Hall devices (CVHD). The biasing and sensing of the Hall voltage is rotated clockwise for the first device, and counter clockwise for the second one ...

Classification of stance and swing gait states during treadmill walking from non-invasive scalp electroencephalographic (EEG) signals

Pierre-André Farine, Sara Grassi Pauletti

In Contreras-Vidal and colleagues have shown the feasibility of inferring the linear and angular kinematics of treadmill walking from scalp EEG. Here, we apply a discrete approach to the same problem of decoding the human gait. By reducing the gait process ...

Towards the Glass Transition in Vibrated Granular Matter

Alessandro Luigi Sellerio

Granular materials are large sets of macroscopic particles that interact solely via contact forces. The static behavior depends on the contact network and on the surface friction forces between grains; when they are set in motion (typically by vibrations) ...

A Multi-Site Campaign To Measure Solar-Like Oscillations In Procyon. Ii. Mode Frequencies

We have analyzed data from a multi-site campaign to observe oscillations in the F5 star Procyon. The data consist of high-precision velocities that we obtained over more than three weeks with 11 telescopes. A new method for adjusting the data weights allow ...

Optimal Data Fusion for Pedestrian Navigation based on UWB and MEMS

Bertrand Merminod, Valérie Jeanne Thérèse Renaudin-Schouler

Indoor pedestrian navigation is probably a very challenging research area. In this context, an optimal data fusion filter that hybridises a large set of observations: angles of arrival (AOA), time differences of arrival (TDOA), accelerations, angular veloc ...
