In this paper the design and operation for a 2-Degree-of-Freedom, leg–wheel hybrid mobile robot are presented. A prototype of a low-cost and easy-to-use system, which is capable of straight walking and steering with two actuators only, has been designed and built. Simulation and experimental tests have been carried out to verify the engineering feasibility and operation of the proposed solution. The designed robot can be used for applications such as surveillance and inspection of disaster sites.
The overall design of Ca.U.M.Ha. (Cassino-Underactuated-Multifinger-Hand) for harvesting horticulture products is presented. Ca.U.M.Ha. shows an anthropomorphic design incorporating four underactuated finger mechanisms and a simplified contrasting thumb, which are all joined to a rigid palm. The pneumatic cylinders of the articulated fingers are operated in parallel in order to give an additional auto-adaptability on the object to grasp. An application of Ca.U.M.Ha. for grasping different shapes of apples is presented.
