    摘要: A high torque limited angle compact and lightweight actuator that comprises a driven pulley (11), a flexible tie-member (6), which is wound about the driven pulley (11), a linear actuator (7) and an inversion mechanism (8). In particular, the linear actuator (7), which is located with respect to the driven pulley (11) such that the direction is substantially tangent to it, comprises a movable element (10) that carries out a linear movement along a line according to two opposite directions (10′), (10″). The inversion mechanism is such that when an input portion (8′) moves along a line (first straight line), tangential to the driven pulley, of a certain an amount a output portion (8″) moves along another line (second straight line), which is also tangential to the driven pulley, for a same movement amount, such that the total length of the tie-member (6) is unchanged.

    摘要: A device (1) for measuring the relative orientation according to at least one degree of freedom for two objects, including a constraint generator (10) suitable for causing a goniometric sensor (40) to move in a plane, having the function of measuring the variation of relative orientation of the two objects in this plane. The goniometric sensor (40) is arranged in a housing (41) that crosses longitudinally the constraint generator (10), which has high flexional stiffness in a first longitudinal plane (β) and a low flexional stiffness in a second longitudinal plane (φ) orthogonal to the first (β). The sensor measures rotations in a plane and the constraint generator induces a rotation in that plane. With the device (1) a data suit (50) can be made for measuring the movement of limbs of an individual. For example, arranging three devices (10a, 10b, 10c) in series, but capable of measuring angles in orthogonal planes, the rotation can be measured of the arm (76) with respect to a shoulder (75) of an individual.

    摘要: A goniometric sensor (1) for measuring the relative rotation of two objects (20,25) comprising a flexible elongated element (2) whose respective ends are connected to the two objects (20, 25) and during whose bending the length variation ΔL is determined of one of the lines (15) not located at the neutral axis (10). This length variation ΔL is directly proportional to the relative rotation (α) between the two bodies (20, 25) multiplied for the eccentricity (e) of the line (15) with respect to the neutral axis (10). Therefore, it is possible to determine easily the relative rotation (α) by knowing the length L and the eccentricity (e) with respect to the neutral axis 10, and measuring the length variation ΔL of the line, for example by measuring the movement of the end of a cable located in a hole that contains the line.

    摘要: A method for actuating a mechanism imposing a prefixed relative movement between a first and a second rigid link and a hand exoskeleton obtained by utilizing the method. The mechanism includes revolute joints and may be a parallelogram mechanism, a pantograph remote center of rotation mechanism, or a multiple-degrees-of-freedom mechanism. The method provides coaxially arranging at one or more selected revolute joints a number of idle pulleys which are greater than the number of degrees of freedom of the mechanism, the first of the selected revolute joints preferably having its rotation axis fixed with respect to the rigid link; the method also provides arranging an inextensible cable between a traction point and a terminal point on the mechanism or on the second rigid link. By pulling the inextensible cable at the traction point, a multiplied torque is produced which is the sum of singular torques produced by the inextensible cable at each idle pulley, the multiplied torque causing a relative movement between the links.

    摘要: Remotely actuated robotic wrist for applications in the field of teleoperation, for example for mininvasive surgical operations, comprising a distal element (3) mounted on a support (2) capable instantaneously to rotate with respect to a fixed member (5), for example by a ball joint (10) that allows three rotational degrees of freedom. In particular, the support (2) can be oriented with respect to the fixed member (5) with a redundant actuating system by arranging four forces in eccentric points, for example by means of tendons (8), and causing the rotation of the support (2) about the central post (5) by the ball joint (10). Alternatively, the support (2) can be oriented with respect to the fixed member (5) by a mechanism that reproduces the rolling of a mobile sphere, which belongs to the support, on a fixed sphere, integral to the fixed member.

    摘要: An exoskeleton interface apparatus includes five rigid links (2-6) arranged in series, capable of rotating reciprocally at the respective ends for monitoring angular movements of the arm, of the forearm and the wrist of an user (60) and having at the tip an handgrip (30) for engaging with the user (60) by reflecting a force feedback. The rigid links (2-6) can rotate at their ends about rotational joints (11-14) having rotational axes (31-34) incident in the intersection point of the physiological axes of the shoulder. The rotational joints (11-14) are brought into rotation about the respective rotational axes (31-34) by means of respective motors (21-24), for example servo-motor such as torque motors. All the motors (21-24) are mounted on the fixed base link (2) in order to minimize the mass of the parts in movement and the inertia reflected on the user (60). A plurality of idle pulleys (50) is provided, spatially arranged for orienting the tendons (41-44), which brake the free movement of the relative rotational joint, responsive to signals corresponding to constraints on the slave in case of teleoperation or to constraints created by virtual reality systems.
