A new and light wheelchair-mounted robotic arm (WMRA-II) was designed and built to meet the needs of mobility-impaired persons with limitations of upper extremities, and to exceed the capabilities of current devices of this type. The structure of the new robotic arm utilizes carbon-fiber and polycarbonate tubes to reduce the arm weight. The mechanical design incorporates DC servo drive, with actuator...
A wheelchair-mounted robotic arm (WMRA) system was designed and built to meet the needs of mobility impaired persons with limitations of upper extremities, and to exceed the capabilities of current devices of this type. The control of this 9-degree-of-freedom system expands upon conventional control methods and combines the 7-DoF robotic arm control with the 2-degree-of-freedom power wheelchair control...
A new robotic gripper was designed and constructed for activities of daily living (ADL) to be used with the new wheelchair-mounted robotic arm developed at USF. Two aspects of the new gripper made it unique; one is the design of the paddles, and the other is the design of the actuation mechanism that produces parallel motion for effective gripping. The paddles of the gripper were designed to grasp...
