By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – New research on robotics is the subjec t of a new report. According to news originating from Stellenbosch, South Africa , by NewsRx editors, the research stated, “This paper proposes a design framewor k to create individualised finger actuators that can be expanded to a generic ha nd.” Financial supporters for this research include National Research Foundation of S outh Africa. Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Stellenbosch University : “An actuator design is evaluated to help a finger achieve tendon-gliding exerc ises (TGEs). We consider musculoskeletal analysis for different finger sizes to determine joint forces while considering safety. The simulated Finite Element An alysis (FEA) response of a bi-directional Pneumatic Network Actuator (PNA) is ma pped to a reduced-order model, creating a robust design tool to determine the be nding angle and moment generated for actuator units. A reduced-order model is co nsidered for both the 2D plane-strain formulation of the actuator and a full 3D model, providing a means to map between the results for a more accurate 3D model and the less computationally expensive 2D model. A setup considering a cascade of reduced-order actuator units interacting with a finger model determined to be able to achieve TGE was validated, and three exercises were successfully achiev ed.”
