On the Dual Rod Slider Rocker Mechanism and Its Applications to Tristate Rigid Active Docking
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The dualrod slider rocker mechanism is equivalent to two traditional singlerod sliders that share a common rocker, where the sliders translate along two opposite directions. Unlike a singlerod system, the dualrod mechanism ...
On the Use of Tension Transition Zones for Kinematic and Compliance Performance Analysis of Wire-Actuated Continuum Robots
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Wire-actuated/tendon-actuated mechanisms suffer from discontinuity in their performance measures stemming from the limitation of unilateral actuation due to tendon actuation (pull-only actuation). Using traditional ...
