  • This paper presents the design concept of an intrinsic continuum robot for safe man-machine interface and characteristic behaviors of its end-effector based on real experiments. Since pneumatic artificial muscles having similar antagonistic actuation to human muscles are used for main backbones of the proposed robot as well as in the role of the actuating devices, variable stiffness of robotic joints can be available in the actual environment. In order to solve the inherent shortcoming of an intrinsic continuum robot due to bending motion of the backbone materials, a Kalman filter scheme based on a triaxial accelerometer and a triaxial gyroscope was proposed to conduct an attitude estimation of the end-effector of the robot. The experimental results verified that the proposed method was effective in estimating the attitude of the end-effector of the intrinsic continuum robot.

  • Hinge driving type holding and release mechanism based on the burn wire release for application of cubesat is main payload of STEP Cube Lab. (Cube Laboratory for Space Technology Experimental Project) to be launched at 2015. It has high constraint force, low shock level as well as surmounting drawbacks of conventional nichrome burn wire release method that has relatively low constraint force and system complexity for application of multi-deployable systems. In this paper, we have proposed a flight model of holding and release mechanism for the verification of the constraint force and deployment status signal acquisition. To validate the effectiveness of the flight model, launch and on-orbit environment verification test have been performed.

  • In military vehicles moving over poor roads, severe vibration of the chassis can damage internal components. Currently, many studies have focused on active and semi-active suspensions to reduce the vibration of the chassis. In this study, a vibration reduction technique is suggested by applying a unique rotating suspension structure. SH-ADD, a type of modified Skyhook, was selected as a controller for vibration reduction. A random ISO class E road was selected as the driving road. The simulation was performed using ADAMS Control and Matlab Simulink. The control result was compared with the RMS acceleration with a focus on the cumulative fatigue of the internal equipment.
