Proof-of-Concept Dexterous Manipulator Powered by Artificial Muscles

Artimus is excited to share a proof-of-concept dexterous manipulator driven by our patented artificial muscles. These artificial muscles, termed HASEL actuators, represent a new vision for robotic motion – where rigid & bulky motors are replaced by soft actuators that move like we do. These initial demos offer a look into what’s possible when we leverage the unique capabilities of our artificial muscles: 1) Direct linear actuation results in fast yet controllable motion and a simplified mechanical design. 2) Unlike motors and gearboxes, our actuators are completely silent. 3) Thanks to our electrostatic operating principles, our actuators maintain position and force without consuming power & will never overheat. We’re just starting on this journey and will have more updates to share in the coming months. Future iterations will feature more fingers & degrees of freedom as well as increased grip & pinch strength. In collaboration with Dr. Efi Psomopoulou’s group at University of Bristol (https://efi-robotics.com/) we will also be incorporating sensors and developing dexterous control frameworks. These efforts have been funded by the UK’s Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) as part of the Robot Dexterity program (https://www.aria.org.uk/opportunity-s.... Led by Programme Director Jenny Read, ARIA’s Robot Dexterity programme is accelerating the development of robot hardware to unlock the full potential of developments in machine learning and AI, creating vastly more capable and useful machines.
