Robotic Wrist
Client:
Barrett Technology, Inc.
Description:
Barrett engaged an external project team to redesign its 3-dgree-of-freedom cable-driven robotic wrist for weight reduction and improved electromechanical performance. As a subassembly for a Whole Arm Manipulator, the robotic wrist experiences high dynamic loads yet must provide low inertia for forced feedback control. Using magnesium and carbon fiber components a weight reduction of 49% was achieved, while maintaining structural stiffness and strength of the previous design.
Services:
Concept Development; Materials Research; Detailed Mechanical Design; Prototype Fabrication, Assembly, and Testing; System Integration; Co-presentation at NASA, Houston Texas
