A modular robot joint for fitting easily through small openings is presented, which has a rotational degree of freedom. In addition to the common features of conventional modular robots, each module can maneuver through small openings and into an enclosed space to maintain areas that are not accessible to larger modular one. And it has a high load carrying capacity and torsional capacity compared...
In this paper we introduced a unidirectional joint with adjustable stiffness (UJAS) for legged robot applications. It allowed the robotic leg to change dynamic property by tuning joint parameters. The joint was designed to provide large compliant motion range and sufficient energy storage capacity for passive gaits. In order to avoid undesired leg vibration during flying phase we brought about the...
The high speed running of legged robot raise higher requirements on the design and development of the robot and the control method. The mammals' excellent performance, especially the cheetah, provides us much inspiration on control, mechanical design and etc. In this paper, a model of the cheetah robot is developed for researching the locomotory behaviors of fast running. Under the biological knowledge...
The colonoscope is an important surgical tool to diagnose various colon diseases. However, the conventional colonoscope usually causes the patient a great deal of discomfort and pain. In order to develop a colonoscope for less discomfort of the patient and less demanding operation techniques of the doctor, a novel snake-like robotic colonoscope is proposed in this paper. This robotic colonoscope adopts...
