  1. 1. Dynamic Modelling of a Fluidic Muscle with a Comparison of Hysteresis Approaches

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Tess Antonsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Mechatronics; Soft Actuators; Pneumatic Artificial Muscles; Dynamic Modelling; Hysteresis; Maxwell-Slip Model; Generalised Bouc-Wen Model; Mekatronik; Mjuka Ställdon; Pneumatiska Artificiella Muskler; Dynamisk Modellering; Hysteres; Maxwell-Slip Modell; Generaliserad Bouc-Wen Modell;

    Abstract : n recent years, there has been a surge in interest and research into the utilisation of soft actuators within the field of robotics, driven by the novel capabilities of their inherently compliant material. One such actuator is the Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PAM) which offers a high power-to-mass ratio, compliance, safety, and biological mimicry when compared to their traditional counterparts.

  3. 2. Comparing Four Modelling Methods for the Simulation of a Soft Quadruped Robot

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Karin Lagrelius; [2022]
    Keywords : Soft Robotics; Modelling; Simulation; Lumped-parameter-method; Quadruped; Soft Actuator; Matlab Simulink; Matlab Simscape Multibody; Mjuk robotik; Modellering; Simulering; Klumpparametermetoden; Fyrfota; Mjukt ställdon; Matlab Simulink; Matlab Simscape Multibody;

    Abstract : A soft quadruped robot is being developed at the Department of Machine Design and Department of Production Engineering at KTH. The legs of the robot consist of four continuum actuators that can achieve complex movements. In order to efficiently develop gaits for the robot, reinforcement learning will be used. READ MORE

  4. 3. Shaking Hands with the Zeitgeist. : Influencing trends through strategic design.

    University essay from Jönköping University/JTH, Industridesign

    Author : Benjamin Mastroianni; [2021]
    Keywords : Industrial Design Smart Home Conceptual Design Soft Robotics Cultural Dynamics Trend Mechanisms High Fashion;

    Abstract : Research into cultural dynamics and trend mechanisms has been used to “deconstruct” theinfluence structure of fashion in a way that can be applied to a hypothetical design strategy.The design strategy revolves around designing products with the intension to indirectlycommunicate an idea or ideas and by taking advantage of a products emotional value, toincrease structural and cognitive embeddedness of underlying ideas.

  5. 4. Structure and Gait Optimizationof a Soft Quadrupedal Robot

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : David Danelia; Shuo Fu; [2021]
    Keywords : Soft robotics; mobile robots; quadrupedal robots; continuum actuators; 3D-printing; Mjuka robotar; mobila robotar; fyrfotarobotar; kontinuumställdon; 3D-skrivning;

    Abstract : Quadrupedal robots are mobile robots with four limbs. Compared with other mobile robots, quadrupedal robots are more capable of moving in complex environment. Specifically, softquadrupedal robots have the limbs that are flexible and more compliant with the environmentthan that of rigid quadrupedal robots. READ MORE

  6. 5. An evaluation of materials and processes suitable for manufacturing micro HASEL-actuators

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mikrosystemteknik

    Author : Anna Lindgren; [2021]
    Keywords : HASEL-actuator; paraffin blend;

    Abstract : HASEL-actuators use dielectric liquids and compliant shells as their media. This type of actuatorwould suit the actuators used as fins for soft milli robots (SOMIRO). These robots are going tobe used in aquaponic crops for studying its impact on the environment to help the farmersimprove their crops. READ MORE
