Passive compliance aligns blind fasteners for quick, precise swaging without high-precision sensors, reducing system weight and cost.
Segmented swing, bend, and rotate actuators give a robot waist human-like three-DOF motion without relying on a rigid integral structure.
Spring-wire rope balancing with lockable guide pulleys offsets arm torque and supports left-right rehab mode switching in a compact robot arm.
Indirect force sensing uses spring displacement between robot and screwdriver to keep wall screwing reliable under vibration and impact.
Co-prime inner and outer magnetic rings enable compact, accurate revolute joint sensing while limiting ring-to-ring interference.
Spring-loaded friction plates hold dental unit arms against drift, while a pneumatic release lets users reposition the pivot shaft easily.
A profiled receptacle mount enables multiple angular tool positions without complex multi-part swivel assemblies, simplifying setup and use.
Spherical-tipped links slide on a connecting part to deliver multi-direction head motion without long beam members, enabling a smaller movable structure.
