Development and characterization of a soft tactile sensor array used for parallel grippers

Weerasinghe, L; Chathuranga, DS [Conference-Full-text]

Tactile Sensors play a crucial role in developing robots with human like grasping and manipulation capabilities. Localization, dynamic sensing and good force recognition characteristics are major goals when designing a ...
Development of a bicondylar surface for a biomimetic knee joint capable of 3d motion

Senadheera, DS; Kaluarachchi, A; Thilina, P; Kulasekera, AL; Chathuranga, DS [Conference-Full-text]

The knee is a major joint that is capable of 6 degrees of freedom (DoF) motion. In this paper, we present a biomimetic design of a bicondylar knee joint capable of 3D motion. The development of bicondylar surfaces is limited ...
Development of wearable fingertip tactile display driven by bowden cables

Premarathna, CP; Kulasekera, AL; Chathuranga, DS; Lalitharatne, TD [Conference-Abstract]

This paper presents the development and human interaction evaluation of a Bowden cable based wearable fingertip tactile display. This device is designed to be used in the field of virtual reality and teleoperation to ...
Evaluation of hand tremor frequency among patients in Sri Lanka using a soft glove

Kavindya, P; Awantha, WVI; Wanasinghe, AT; Kulasekera, AL; Chathuranga, DS; Senanayake, B [Conference-Full-text]

Tremors are the involuntary oscillations of a body part which occur due to diseases such as Parkinson’s Disease (PD), Essential tremor (ET) or stroke, which disturbs the activities of daily living (ADL). This paper ...
A Low-Profile vacuum actuator (LPVAc) with integrated inductive displacement sensing for a novel sit-to-stand assist exosuit

Kulasekera, AL; Arumathanthri, RB; Chathuranga, DS; Chathuranga, RARC; Lalitharatne, TD [Article-Full-text]

Muscle weakness owing to stroke, spinal cord injuries, or aging can make a person's life sedentary, temporarily as well as permanently. Such persons need to be motivated to break their sedentary postures and attempt ...
A Novel fabrication method for rapid prototyping of soft structures with embedded pneumatic channels

Premarathna, CP; Kulasekera, AL; Chathuranga, DS; Lalitharatne, TD [Conference-Abstract]

Soft robotics is a major disruptive technology that is rapidly revolutionizing the world of robotics. As the design optimization of these soft robotic structures are still in its infancy, their designers have to resort ...
A robotic platform for aircraft composite structure inspection using thermography

Samarathunga, AI; Piyasundara, N; Wanigasooriya, AI; Kumara, BS; Vithanage, VP; Chathuranga, DS [Article-Full-text]

Water ingression is a critical issue in honeycomb composite structures, which could result in catastrophic structural failure. In the aviation industry, they are widely used to manufacture critical aircraft structural ...
Variable stiffness soft actuator using layer jamming for food handling

Tennakoon, CL; Kulasekera, AL; Chathuranga, DS; Gopura, RARC [Conference-Full-text]

This study proposes a novel hybrid actuator combining PneuNet with layer jamming actuation to address the problems with conventional soft pneumatic actuators such as stability and lack of integrated locking mechanisms. The ...
