Abstract Increasing the Gear Ratio (GR) while decreasing the gearbox dimension is a
contradiction that mechanical designers are challenged to solve. The increasing importance …

High-performance prostheses are crucial to enable versatile activities like walking,
squatting, and running for lower extremity amputees. State-of-the-art prostheses are either …

One of the main restrictions of commercial cobots can be found in their limited payload to
mass ratios. Flexible link manipulators seem to offer interesting advantages over traditional …

Accepted: 1 July 2023 The recent digital revolution has resulted in robots being integrated
more than ever into various domains, such as agriculture, healthcare, and the military …

A resonant piezoelectric rotary motor using parallel moving gears mechanism is proposed,
designed, fabricated and tested. The piezoelectric motor uses a vibrator to make the stator …

This article proposes a consequent-pole unequal Halbach vernier wheel motor
(CPUHVWM), which effectively reduces the self-flux leakage between permanent magnets …

Backdrivable joint actuators are critical to enhancing the human–robot interaction
performance of collaborative robots. A Planetary Gear Train (PGT) with a high reduction ratio …

Robotic engineers face major challenges to solve the complex actuation needs of Human-
Robot Collaboration with existing act robotic gearboxes. Available technologies comprise …

The recent trend towards low reduction gearing in robotic actuation has revitalised the need
for high-performance gearing concepts. In this work we propose compact low-reduction …

Typically, a twisting morphing wing of flying or swimming robots has one spanwise shaft and
many ribs, the ribs can swing in their individual planes perpendicular to the shaft or the …
