ASME ( American Society of Mechanical Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a professional association that, in its own words, "promotes the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences around the globe" via "continuing education, training and professional development, codes and standards, research, conferences and publications, government relations, and other forms of outreach." ASME is thus an engineering society, a standards organization, a research and development organization, a lobbying organization, a provider of training and education, and a nonprofit organization. Founded as an engineering society focused on mechanical engineering in North America, ASME is today multidisciplinary and global.

Analysis and Optimization of One Degree of Freedom Robotic Legs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Almost all walking robots are composed of two or more multidegreesoffreedom (DOFs) legs which give them a good ability to traverse obstacles. Nevertheless, their speed and efficiency when traversing rough terrains is, in ...
Analysis and Optimization of a New Differentially Driven Cable Parallel Robot
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a new three degrees of freedom (DOF) differentially actuated cable parallel robot is proposed. This mechanism is driven by a prismatic actuator and three cable differentials. Through this design, the idea ...
Optimal Design of Self-Adaptive Fingers for Proprioceptive Tactile Sensing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The sense of touch has always been challenging to replicate in robotics, but it can provide critical information when grasping objects. Nowadays, tactile sensing in artificial hands is usually limited to using external ...
Performance Augmentation of Underactuated Fingers' Grasps Using Multiple Drive Actuation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the performance augmentation of underactuated fingers through additional actuators is presented and discussed. Underactuated, also known as self-adaptive, fingers typically only rely on a single actuator for ...
Differential Noncircular Pulleys for Cable Robots and Static Balancing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a mechanism consisting of a pair of noncircular pulleys with a constant-length cable. While a single noncircular pulley is generally limited to continuously winding or unwinding, the differential ...
