Fire Resistance Deformable Soft Gripper Based on Wire Jamming Mechanism
Kenjiro Tadakuma, Toshiaki Fujimoto, Masahiro Watanabe +1
Able to grasp objects of any shape and size, universal grippers using variable stiffness phenomenon such as granular jamming have been developed for disaster robotics application.…
Internally-Balanced Magnetic Mechanisms Using Magnetic Spring for Producing Large Amplified Clamping Force
Tori Shimizu, Kenjiro Tadakuma, Masahiro Watanabe +3
To detach a permanent magnet with a controlled force much smaller than its original attractive force, the Internally-Balanced Magnetic Unit (IB Magnet) was invented and has been ap…
Radial-Layer Jamming Mechanism for String Configuration
Rio Mukaide, Kenjiro Tadakuma, Masahiro Watanabe +4
Grippers can be attached to objects in a rigid mode, and they are therefore used in various applications, for example granular jamming gripper. This paper introduces a cutting-edge…
Floating Displacement-Force Conversion Mechanism as a Robotic Mechanism
Kenjiro Tadakuma, Tori Shimizu, Sosuke Hayashi +4
To attach and detach permanent magnets with an operation force smaller than their attractive force, Internally-Balanced Magnetic Unit (IB Magnet) has been developed. The unit utili…
