This article presents hydraulic artificial muscles as a viable alternative to pneumatic artificial
muscles. Despite the actuation mechanism being similar to its pneumatic counterpart …

In this research, a new 2-DOF hybrid actuator concept is explored as a powerful and
compact alternative to conventional haptic actuators. The actuator combines a spherical MR …

The oscillations of electrically actuated thermally-responsive liquid crystal elastomer (LCE)
microfibers under cyclic electric actuation have been discovered in recent experiments …

The robotic arm is a critical component of modern industrial manufacturing. However, its
positioning performance can be hindered by overshooting and oscillation. External …

The Ambidextrous Robot Hand is a robotic device with the purpose to mimic either the
gestures of a right or a left hand. The symmetrical behavior of its fingers allows them to bend …

This thesis relates to the development of the Ambidextrous Robot Hand engineered in
Brunel University. Assigned to a robotic hand, the ambidextrous feature means that two …

In this research, we developed a position control system for a hybrid actuator using position,
velocity and pressure feedback loops as well as a force-blending algorithm. The actuator …
