Conector rotacional blando para robots modulares
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Los robots modulares pueden adaptarse dinámicamente a diversas tareas o entornos, lo que los hace versátiles, eficientes y económicos. En este trabajo se propone el diseño de un componente de conexión para generar cadenas modulares flexibles, donde tanto el módulo como el conector son estructuras blandas. El módulo se compone de una configuración plegable basada en origami, que es fácilmente apilable mediante conexiones simples entre módulos. Con el objetivo de ampliar la funcionalidad de una cadena de módulos de origami apilados, se sugiere el uso de conectores rotacionales que permitan reorientar la cadena modular. Este estudio presenta el diseño y la validación de un conector blando capaz de rotar alrededor de dos ejes, utilizando un eslabón blando accionado por tendones.
