The actuation principle of spider legs has served as an analogue for several technological fields. The current generation of Flexible Fluidic actuators (FFA) follows this principle and pushes their performance to meet industrial requirements. These new actuators are fabricated in a new two step vulcanization process with specially developed rubber compounds. In the first step the inner rubber boot...
In this article the design of a new upper limb rehabilitation system will be presented. A lightweight, modular, and portable system is achieved by the combination of electromyographic (EMG) control, functional electrical stimulation (FES), and the use of miniaturized flexible fluidic actuators (FFA) integrated in an elbow orthosis. First, the state of the art of upper limb rehabilitation devices will...
In this paper the design, construction, technical characteristics, functionality and control scheme of a new modular hand-arm robot system are presented. This system is designed for applications in robotic and rehabilitation medicine. The development of novel, compact modules is based on flexible fluidic actuators which are equipped with measurement and control elements for a robust control and, hence,...
