论文摘要
快速发展的机器人技术要求具有新型机械功能的结构。传统方法，开发新材料并设计新结构，面临两个挑战。高度复杂的力 - 置换函数几乎无法实现，并且一个制造的结构仅具有一个或有限的功能。我们执行理论计算和FE模拟，以证明可以通过使结构可调的机械性能或几何形状来解决这两个挑战。通过实验测试进一步验证了机械性能/几何调整方法，结果表明可以准确地实现多个不同且高度复杂的目标函数。我们预计提出的调整方法将有助于发展机械超材料的先进形式和新一代机器人手。
The rapidly developing robotics industry demands structures with novel mechanical functions. Traditional approaches, developing new materials and designing new structures, face two challenges. Highly complex force-displacement functions can hardly be realized and one fabricated structure only has one or limited function. We perform theoretical calculations and FE simulations to demonstrate that the two challenges can be solved by making the mechanical property or geometry of the structure tunable. The mechanical property/geometry tuning approaches are further validated by experimental tests and the results show that multiple different and highly complex objective functions can be achieved accurately. We expect that the proposed tuning approaches will facilitate the development of advanced forms of mechanical metamaterials and a new generation of robotic hands.
