Device sweeper
Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for manufacturing an apparatus for supplying a sweeping motion for a device such as a camera are disclosed. The apparatus includes a stationary rod and a rotational rod arranged parallel to the stationary rod at a fixed distance from the stationary rod. The apparatus includes a device disposed on the rotational rod and a plurality of linear artificial muscle actuators arranged between the stationary and rotational rods and perpendicular to central axes of the stationary and rotational rods. Actuation of a top-portion of the plurality of linear artificial muscle actuators rotates the rotational rod in a first direction, and an actuation of a bottom-portion of the plurality of linear artificial muscle actuators rotates the rotational rod in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
