Robot of the Week

LeRoS-F

Lightweight joint system


leros-f


The LeRoS-F project involves the design and development of an innovative modular joint system for dexterous lightweight robots with flexible fluidic actuators. The idea is that such robots can operate safely around humans. [ Technical details. ]

A novel and particularly safe inherently compliant fluidic actuator is being developed: the "Rotary Elastic Chambers" actuator. This actuator is of revolute type and thus suitable for compact robotic modules of different sizes and power.

The modules comprise a small number of fully integrated components with matched mechanical and electrical interfaces: fluidic vane motor, sensors, control elements, as well as electronic unit and control algorithms.

LeRoS-F was developed by the Institute of Automation of EURON member 60, the University of Bremen, in close collaboration with the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Institute (FWBI), Bremen, Germany.
