Near-Zero Parasitic Shift Flexure Pivots Based on Coupled n-RRR Planar Parallel Mechanisms

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann

Flexure pivots, which are widely used for precision mechanisms, generally have the drawback of presenting parasitic shifts accompanying their rotation. The known solutions for canceling these undesirable parasitic translations usually induce a loss in radi ...

Design of a Flexure-Based Flywheel for the Storage of Angular Momentum and Kinetic Energy

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans, Patrick Robert Flückiger

The flywheel is a widespread mechanical component used for the storage of kinetic energy and angular momentum. It typically consists of cylindrical inertia rotating about its axis on rolling bearings, which involves undesired friction, lubrication, and wea ...

Graph Exploration for Effective Multiagent Q-Learning

Ali H. Sayed, Ainur Zhaikhan

This article proposes an exploration technique for multiagent reinforcement learning (MARL) with graph-based communication among agents. We assume that the individual rewards received by the agents are independent of the actions by the other agents, while ...

C-shells: Deployable Gridshells with Curved Beams

Mark Pauly, Francis Julian Panetta, Seiichi Eduardo Suzuki Erazo, Quentin Christian Becker, Yingying Ren, Davide Pellis

We introduce a computational pipeline for simulating and designing C-shells, a new class of planar-to-spatial deployable linkage structures. A C-shell is composed of curved flexible beams connected at rotational joints that can be assembled in a stress-fre ...

Mechanism balancing taxonomy

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans

The balancing of mechanisms consists in distributing their moving masses, inertias, and elastic components in order to achieve key mechanical properties, such as the elimination of the shaking forces and moments exported onto their supporting structure or ...

Dynamic Modeling of an Origami Prismatic Joint

Jamie Paik, Mustafa Mete, Jian-Lin Huang

Dynamic modeling of folding joints is critical for predicting dynamic behavior, optimizing design parameters, and developing control strategies for origami robots and machines. Although kinematics of the folded joints exists, little research describes thei ...

RUM: Reconfigurable Umbrella Mesh

Mark Pauly, Florin Isvoranu, Uday Kusupati, Seiichi Eduardo Suzuki Erazo

We propose Reconfigurable Umbrella Meshes (RUMs), a new class of preassembled deployable structures. A RUM has a compact rest state that can be easily altered to deploy into different bending-active 3D target shapes. RUMs consist of elastic beams and rigid ...

Rectilinear translation four-bar flexure mechanism based on four Remote Center Compliance pivots

Simon Nessim Henein, Charles Baur, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans, Quentin Gubler

This paper presents a novel planar four-bar linkage compliant mechanism (called 4-RCC) based on four flexure-based Remote Center of Compliance (RCC) pivots. With particular configurations and dimensions, the beam shortening of the RCC pivots can compensate ...
