A modular fingertip design for normal force feedback control of a 3-fingered dextrous robotic hand
… force remains predominantly controlled by flexor cable tension and joint position. A modular fingertip normal force sensor is developed here from basic semiconducting elastomer devices. Construction techniques are defined to shape standard Interlink Force Sensitive Resistors within a conformal …

Modelling and Simulation of Marine Cables with Dynamic Winch and Sheave Contact
Cable-sheave systems are commonly used on marine vessels for lifting and towing applications. As a result of the motion of the vessel, the cable can detach from the surface of the sheave. This thesis presents a simulation of a towed cable system which includes the interaction of the cable with the …

Design of an AUV recharging system
… mounted on the AUV and a vertical docking cable is investigated. The docking cable may be deployed from either a fixed docking station or a mobile "tanker AUV". A numerical simulation of the simplified system hydrodynamics was created in MATLAB and used to evaluate the mechanical …

On the motion of a symmetric rigid body with a "yo-yo" despin device attached
… The moment acting on the body through the tension in the yo-yo cables is unknown and it is necessary to apply the second law of Newton to a despin weight so that sufficient independent differential equations are available for the solution of the problem variables. These relations give three …

Elastic Cable-Driven Bipedal Walking Robot: Design, Modeling, Dynamics and Controls
… biological walkers. It consists of using elastic cables to actuate a bipedal walking robot, where the motors, which are used for pulling the cables, are attached to the segments that undergo low accelerations (like trunk). </p><p>The main results and contributions of the dissertation are:(a) The …
