Several passive joints are usually needed in surgical robots to decrease the difficulty in doctors' operating, which can be manually rotated without motor pushing. When stopped at a specified position, passive joints should be locked until operation ends, and keep bearing torques. This paper is aimed to design a locking method used in minimally invasive surgical robot. Firstly choose the locking type...
In order to interact with human flexibly, the robots need lightweight structure to adjust their configuration conveniently and further save operation energy. It is a challenge in design when the robots are proceeding tasks with a huge and heavy body. This paper presents an improved framework of the humanoid robot optimized by the evolutionary structural optimization (ESO) method for lightweight design...
This paper proposes the design and development of an integrated serial elastic actuator (SEA) which is used as the elbow joint in the soft humanoid arm. First, requirements of SEA are illustrated. And six different types of elastic elements (e.g. the discoid element, the cylindrical) are analyzed using the design of experiment (DOE) method. And then, a discoid elastic element with larger flexibility...
