This paper presents the analysis and design of a novel air vane motor. Air motors produce very high specific power. They require compressed air rather than electricity; thus avoid sparks and can be used in demanding environments. Same as other types of rotary machines, air vane motors exhibit torque fluctuations. The varying torque curve is a result of unmatched torques generated by the vanes in one...
A compliant gripper gains its dextral manipulation by the flexural motion of its fingers. It is a preferable device to grippers with actuations because of reduced fabrication complexity and increased structural reliability. The prediction of contact forces and deflected shape are essential to the design of a compliant gripper. We present here a formulation based on nonlinear constrained optimization...
