“…If additional mechanical systems, such as gears, are incorporated along with the motors, the bandwidth will reduce almost by half (~50 Hz). Pneumatic and hydraulic actuators have limited bandwidth, usually below 10 Hz [46]. Among other actuators, dielectric elastomers are capable of a very high bandwidth (100-1400 Hz), while shape memory alloys work at a low bandwidth (<1 Hz) [47].…”

An affordable, highly articulated, child-size humanoid robot could potentially be used for various purposes, widening the design space of humanoids for further study. Several findings indicated that normal children and children with autism interact well with humanoids. This paper presents a child-sized humanoid robot (HBS-1) intended primarily for children's education and rehabilitation. The design approach is based on the design for manufacturing (DFM) and the design for assembly (DFA) philosophies to realize the robot fully using additive manufacturing. Most parts of the robot are fabricated with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) using rapid prototyping technology. Servomotors and shape memory alloy actuators are used as actuating mechanisms. The mechanical design, analysis and characterization of the robot are presented in both theoretical and experimental frameworks.

“…To mimic the shoulder joint and cover the range of motion of a human arm, at least three DoFs are required. These DoFs can be achieved with several stacked single-DoF actuators, however, this results in large and cumbersome constructions [1]. As arm support systems are often mounted on an electric wheelchair, these systems must be flexible, lightweight and have a low energy consumption.…”

Background:The service delivery process of dynamic arm support (DAS) is complex. Obtaining an optimal match between user and DAS depends on a variety of interrelated factors, different professionals are involved, and the market of available solutions is evolving.Objective: To determine how the service delivery process of DAS could be optimized. Methods:Interviews with DAS users that retrospectively focused on the experienced service delivery process D 'a focus group session to seven DAS consultants, and subsequently verified by a member-check. Results:Sixteen people who considered the Gowing (a DAS new on the market) as a solution and seven DAS consultants participated. Aspects that can be optimized in the current service delivery process included an improved cooperation between clients, professionals and consultants, increased knowledge of DAS in professionals, an embedded user evaluation, and timely delivery. Conclusions:It is recommended that the service delivery process is optimized by developing a DAS specific prescription framework. The issues identified in this study should be addressed in this framework. For this additional knowledge on how to optimally match persons and DAS is needed.
