    An Atlas of Remote Actuated Bevel-Gear Type Wrist Mechanisms of up to 9 Links

    No full text
    An atlas of topological and functional representations of bevel gear-type basic robotic wrists of up to nine links with all the actuators connected to the frame link is presented. Each wrist mechanism is depicted by means of a canonical diagram that can be adopted as a schematic model for the final constructive embodiment. The corresponding graphic representation is also shown, together with a reference number that classifies the structure through the concepts of nonfractionated degree of freedom and equivalent-open-loop chain

    Micromanipulation: A Challenge for Actuation

    No full text
    Manipulating micro objects has become an important task in several applications. Actuation is a crucial aspect of micromanipulation because there are physical restrictions which affect actuators’ performances at the micro or nano scale. One way of getting rid of these limitations is the use of an appropriate mechanical structure which enhances the elasticity of the material or provides mechanical advantage. This Special Issue of Actuators, which is dedicated to micromanipulation, offers a contribution to the development of some promising methods to actuate a microsystem for micromanipulation

    Isotropic compliance in E(3): Feasibility and workspace mapping

    No full text
    A manipulator control system, for which isotropic compliance holds in the Euclidean space Eð3Þ, can be significantly simplified by means of diagonal decoupling. However, such simplification may introduce some limits to the region of the workspace where the sought property can be achieved. The present investigation reveals how to detect which peculiar subset, among four different classes, a given manipulator belongs to. The paper also introduces the concept of control gain ratio for each specific single-input/single-output joint control law in order to limit the maximum gain required to achieve the isotropic compliance condition

    RETURN TO FUNCTIONAL BETWEEN SPORTING ACTIVITY AND MOTOR ACTIVITY

    The aim of the paper is to highlight the main aspects of functional re-education as a tool for the recovery of the athlete after an injury. Specifically, the fundamental stages of a re-education process have been outlined, considering the latter between sports and motor activities. Re-education is also considered as a tertiary prevention tool that not only optimizes routes, but is a potential source of savings. For this reason, the present work also considers the managerial implications deriving from the construction of a path that relies on a structural organization that influences the performance of the teams

    Isotropic compliance in RRP planar manipulators

    No full text
    In the present paper, the isotropic compliance property is investigated, specifically focusing on RRP plane manipulators. The property is achieved by means of active stiffness regulation, considering three different control strategies, dependent on the joint exerting the control action. For each case, the analytical solutions and the corresponding workspace subsets are presented. To compare the three methods, the active and overall stiffness coefficients are evaluated in the postures defining the isotropic compliance subsets. The feasibility of the methods is also evaluated, considering the passive and active stiffness coefficients
