Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a tube continuum robot and a method for manufacturing a tube. More particularly, disclosed are a tube continuum robot and a method for manufacturing a tube, which is used in the tube continuum robot having a plurality of overlapping tubes and has anisotropic patterns for controlling the bending rigidity and torsional rigidity of the tube. In an embodiment, a tube continuum robot has a plurality of overlapping tubes, one or more of the plurality of overlapping tubes having a curved shape, wherein a plurality of anisotropic patterns are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the one or more tubes along the lengthwise or circumferential direction of the tubes.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to relates to a assistive wearable system for relieving muscle fatigue in the neck and shoulders, the assistive wearable system includes a head gear mounted to cover a head of a user, a wearable platform mounted on an upper body of the user, and a wire tension controller that maintains tension of a wire by being seated on the wearable platform and fixing to operate a semi-active ratchet mechanism structure as a brake to detect a moment a movement of the wire stops as connected to the head gear by the wire, and stop unwinding of the wire, wherein the ratchet mechanism rotates the ratchet based on the unwinding and pulling of the wire.
