  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. Development and testing of controller that introduces the functionality to lift the second front axle on a heavy vehicle

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

    Author : Mattias Vikgren; [2021]
    Keywords : PI control; Bang-bang control; Simulation; Suspensions; Pneumatic actuators.; PI regulator; Bang-bang regulator; Simulering; hjulupphängningar; Pneumatiska ställdon.;

    Abstract : The transition to more environmentally sustainable transports, as well as rising fuel prices create a demand for efficient means of transportation. Liftable axles have shown potential to save fuel and reduces tire wear on heavy vehicles. READ MORE

  4. 3. Closed-Loop Control of a 3D Printed Soft Actuator with Soft Position Sensors

    University essay from KTH/Mekatronik

    Author : Jakob Jansson; Mikael Sjöberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Soft Actuators; 3D Printing; Closed-Loop Control; Strain Sensor; Soft Gripper; Mjuka Ställdon; 3D-Skrivning; Återkopplad Kontroll; Töjningssensor; Mjukt Gripdon;

    Abstract : This thesis performs closed-loop control of a 3D printed soft bending actuator with feedback from a 3D printed strain sensor. This process utilizes the Finite Element Method (FEM) to design a bellow type pneumatic bending actuator that can handle pressures up to 4 bar. READ MORE

  5. 4. Supercoiled Actuators with Liquid Metal Joule Heating : novel miniaturized actuators for pneumatic control of reconfigurable wearables

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mikrosystemteknik

    Author : Erik Höijertz; [2020]
    Keywords : supercoil; actuator; liquid metal; reconfigurable wearables;

    Abstract : Garments serve a number of purposes, from protection and physiological comfort to social and cultural expressions. With the recent developments of active textiles, sensors and actuators with shapes and sizes similar to textiles, the real multifunctional garments have been realized. READ MORE

  6. 5. The Breathing Garment : Exploring Breathing-Based Interactions through Deep Touch Pressure

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

    Author : Annkatrin Jung; [2020]
    Keywords : Deep Touch Pressure; Soma Design; Breathing Awareness; Wearables; Haptics; Mental Wellbeing; Shape-Changing Interfaces; Djuptrycksterapi; Soma design; Andetag medvetenhet; Kroppsnära teknik; Haptisk feedback; Psykisk välbefinnande; Formändrandebof gränssnitt;

    Abstract : Deep touch pressure is used to treat sensory processing difficulties by applying a firm touch to the body to stimulate the nervous system and soothe anxiety. I conducted a long-term exploration of deep touch pressure from a first-person perspective, using shape-changing pneumatic actuators, breathing and ECG sensors to investigate whether deep touch pressure can guide users to engage in semi-autonomous interactions with their breathing and encourage greater introspection and body awareness.
