Soft robots use active deformable structures to provide highly capable yet simple and robust
robotic systems. Motion sensors for soft robots must, therefore, be able to provide joint …

Robots using cellular-like redundant binary actuators could outmatch electric-gearmotor
robotic systems in terms of reliability, force-to-weight ratio, and cost. This paper presents a …

Similar to combustion engines comprising multiple cylinders engaged with a crankshaft,
multiple piezoelectric stack actuators (PSA) engaged with a common output rod can produce …

Capacitive actuators, such as piezoelectric stack actuators, provide an efficient solution for
robotic and mecha-tronic systems that typically require large forces and minimal velocities …

Les robots souples pourraient permettre une interaction homme-robot intrinsèquement
sécuritaire car ils sont fabriqués de matériaux déformables. Les capteurs de mouvement …
