INTEGRATED MECATRONIC STRUCTURE FOR PORTABLE MANIPULATOR ASSEMBLY

摘要

An integrated mecatronic structure for a manipulator assembly with one or more degrees of movement which are controlled by one or more actuators, may subject the entire manipulator assembly to a movement triggered by control means connected to actuator means and may comprise at least one flexible unit made up of at least one flexible element (10) fixed to at least one actuator (140). The actuator (140) is a volume-change actuator associated with an ancillary or local dedicated power supply unit comprising a reservoir (171) and/or conversion element (172) for converting the supply of power into a different form of energy, capable of making the manipulator assembly portable.
