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 ...

Flexural-tensegrity snapping tails for bio-inspired propulsion in fluids

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Claudio Boni

Many aquatic animals propel themselves by flapping their tails. Leveraging a recently proposed snapping cantilever beam based on the concept of flexural tensegrity, we propose a bio-inspired propulsion device. The design comprises a segmental beam with hol ...

A 4D printed active compliant hinge for potential space applications using shape memory alloys and polymers

Jamie Paik, Zhenishbek Zhakypov, Jian-Lin Huang, Ralph Spolenak

This paper presents the proof-of-concept for a 4D printed active compliant hinge with a selectively variable stiffness for the deployment and reorientation of satellite appendages. We use 4D printing to create an active compliant hinge capable of bending t ...

Designing compliant mechanisms composed of shape memory alloy and actuated by induction heating

Yves Perriard, Paolo Germano, Thomas Guillaume Martinez, Adrien Jean-Michel Thabuis, Sean Thomas

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are a type of smart materials that reacts mechanically to heat. Due to their complex behavior, they are often used in a simple geometry such as wires. This constrains the output displacement of the alloy to a simple linear contra ...

Slow-fast Dynamics of Strongly Coupled Adaptive Frequency Oscillators*

Auke Ijspeert, Jonas Buchli, Ludovic Righetti

Oscillators have two main limitations: their synchronization properties are limited (i.e., they have a finite synchronization region) and they have no memory of past interactions (i.e., they return to their intrinsic frequency whenever the entraining signa ...

Soft pneumatic actuator-driven origami-inspired modular robotic ‘‘pneumagami’’

Jamie Paik, Matthew Aaron Robertson, Özdemir Can Kara

This article presents a new modular robotic platform for enabling reconfigurable, actively controlled, high-degree-of-freedom (high-DoF) systems with compact form factor. The robotic modules exploit the advantages of origami-inspired construction methods a ...

A plane linkage and its tessellation for deployable structure

Huijuan Feng

Deployable structures are widely used in space applications such as solar arrays and antennas. Recently, inspired by origami, more deployable structures have been developed. This paper outlined a novel design scheme for deployable structures by taking a pl ...
