Design, Drive and Control of a Novel SMA-actuated Humanoid Flexible Gripper

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

recovering

wire w1, with remembered ‘U’ shape, is located along the rod’s axis. The restoring wire w2, with memorized

straight shape, is located in parallel with the rod’ axis with an offset distance d1. Two strain gauges, arranged in complemental

configuration and sticking to the rod, are used to implement accurate displacement control. Upon the elicitation

of the structure of a human being’s hands, a finger with multi-units is proposed. The finger has two flexible rods

with embedded SMA wires and one shorter rod as a connecting part. The number and position of fingers are investigated

by making use of a nonlinear plan process with an index W, a function of grasp matrix G. The hardware of the

drive and control system of the gripper has been completed on the base of a DSP chip. After the track plan is realized in

the joint space through B spline interpolation method, the software of the position control system is fulfilled through

two-staged slide control strategy. The simulations and experiments of step response of the SMA actuator are carried out.

It is shown in the experiments that the maximum angle between ends’ tangents of each finger is 68.5, 79 and 79 degrees,

respectively, and the tip of each finger could reach its final position by using approximately the same time period.
