Abstract :
Safety is an important factor for human-machine interface devices. Brake actuated devices are potentially safer than those that rely on motors for force-feedback generation. However, manipulators using conventional frictional brakes do have limitations. This paper presents the experimental evaluation of a newly developed four-state rotary programmable brake in a 2DOF manipulator. The experimental results show improved performance compared to the results obtained when manipulators with conventional frictional brakes are used.
