“气动机器人手臂”的灵感来源于自然界。结合机电一体化和人类仿生学模型,机器人手臂彰显了未来自动运动序列新的可行性。
“气动机器人手臂”由机器骨骼和机器肌肉组成。30块肌肉连接带动骨骼移动,包括尺骨、桡骨、掌骨和指骨以及肩关节和肩胛。这种连接技术目前还没有发明出来。
机器肌肉是Festo公司的一个产品,已经广泛应用于工业应用,叫做流体肌肉。这种技术使用了Festo公司的微型创新压力比例阀,让我们能够精确控制设计的力量和硬度。这些执行器与机电一体化系统和软件的技术水平同步。
扩展“气动机器人”的传感器系统也非常合理,就像开发后背、臀部和脖子部位一样,比如安装摄像头或者有感知能力的零件。这些扩展让机器人能够在更加危险的情况下工作发挥了重要作用。
Airics_arm is inspired by nature. Combining mechatronics and the model of human biology, the robotic arm shows new possibilities in automated motion sequences of the future.
Airics_arm is equipped with artificial bones and muscles. 30 muscles move the bone structure comprising the ulna and radius, the metacarpal bones and the bones of the fingers as well as the shoulder joint and the shoulder blade; joints that are not found in the world of technology.
The muscles are a product of Festo and are already widely used in industrial practice under the name of Fluidic Muscle. This technology, combined with very small and highly innovative piezo proportional valves from Festo, enable us to accurately control the designs forces and rigidity. These actuators are coordinated by state-of-the-art mechatronic systems and software.
Extending the system of sensors of Airics_arm, e.g. with cameras or elements for tactile perception, is just as plausible as the development of a design for a back, hip and neck. These extensions will also play an important role in robotics as even more dangerous and hazardous situations in technology could be assigned to them.
通过分析龙虾和蝗虫的腿以及人类手指的形态得到了气动手臂的灵感。它是一个带有外部骨架的两节式桥臂,由气动肌腱驱动。智能控制技术使气动手臂能赶上水滴的速度。 气动手臂在技术上的意图是能够在指定半球状运行范围内延伸到尽可能多的区域。 选择一般技术实践的常规原理,使带气动肌腱的两节式伸缩系统同时反向运行。
AirArm is biologically inspired by analyses of lobsters’ and grasshoppers’ legs and by human pointing gestures. It is a two-segmented arm with an external skeleton powered by pneumatic muscles. Intelligent control technology enables AirArm to catch drops of water.
The technical purpose of AirArm is to reach as many points as possible within a hemispherical operating range defined from a specified point in space.
A two-segmented flexing system with muscles operating together in contrary motion was chosen as the general principle for technical realisation.
