Twisted string actuators (TSAs) are gaining popularity in modern engineering and robotic
applications. However, in conventional actuators of this type, the twisted part of the string …

In this paper, a new type of robotic finger is introduced that uses a twisted string actuator
(TSA) and modular passive return rotational (PPR) joints. The design is intended to be …

Twisted string actuators are widely used in different areas of robotics, however, their lifetime
remains one of the main concerns for robotics. There are no comprehensive studies that …

In active knee orthoses, quiet, powerful, and light-weight actuators are required to support
the user during challenging tasks like sit-to-stand and stair climbing. The twisted string …

In this letter, we proposed a variable radius pulley (VRP) to linearize input–output behavior
of twisted string actuators (TSAs). With the help of a VRP, it is possible to make the …

This paper studies an effect of vibration on twisted string actuation through conduit at high
bending angles. In our previous work [1], we have demonstrated that twisted string actuators …

In this work a new model for the twisted string actuation (TSA) was proposed and results
were compared to the obtained data from various strings. Moreover, a wearable device was …

In this study, a twisted string actuation mechanism was used to develop an assistive robotic
system to assist post-stroke patients to regain mobility. The robotic manipulator used in …

The twisted string actuator is an actuator that is gaining popularity in various engineering
and robotics and applications. However, the fundamental limitation of actuators of this type is …

In this paper, an assistive robotic device that integrates the consideration of human motion
and algorithm of multi-axial control using a dual twisted-string actuation was designed and …
