This work focuses on the analysis of the performance parameters of a new magneto-rheological device. Previously, a mathematical model of the actuator head was introduced; however, the complex relations between its parameters made its optimisation challenging, causing the device not to reach its full potential. In this work, the previous model is updated to fit a revised version of the toroidal design,...
Interaction between humans and robots is expected to increase in the coming years. In order to ensure safety for the robot, its environment, and the people around it, it is necessary to have robust compliance actuation. Mechanically compliant devices such as magnetorheological actuators can ensure a high degree of safety through their intrinsic properties. This paper presents the modelling of a new...
A new design of a magnetorheological piston prototype intended for passive or active force control in robotic applications for human robot interaction is introduced. It is based in a novel toroidal array of valves, contained within the piston head, which are used to control the output force of the actuator in order to achieve a high degree of reliability, size efficiency, and safety, by exploiting...
