A hybrid actuation approach for human-friendly robot design
2008
2008 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation
Safety is a critical characteristic for robots designed to operate in human environments. This paper presents the concept of hybrid actuation for the development of humanfriendly robotic systems. The new design employs inherently safe pneumatic artificial muscles augmented with small electrical actuators, human-bone-inspired robotic links, and newly designed distributed compact pressure regulators. The modularization and integration of the robot components enable low complexity in the design
