Resumen:
Abstract.
Previous work showed that duplicate circular wedges might be used to achieve repeatable,
accurate, precise and versatile alignment of mechanical components. This paper further
explores the versatility and application of circular wedges in robotics. Of
particular interest are dissimilar circular wedges, i.e., circular wedges that
differ in wedge angle, in the number of circumferential divisions, and in
offset angle. Several applications are highlighted: the use of circular wedges
as the basis for a new robotic joint; the utilization of circular wedges in
implementing a robotic end-effector; and, the configuration of a serpentine
robot from circular wedges.
