DEVELOPMENT OF THE FLOWER ROBOT BY USING TENDON MECHNAISM (original) (raw)

This paper deals with a study and development of the flower robot among service robots, which has the functions of interior and robotic movements. The proposed flower robot consists of flower, stem and leaves, which are actuated by the tendon mechanism. The flower, stem and leaves structures are integrated and controlled as one flower robot. For the control, we used dSPACE system and Simulink of MATLAB. From the development of the flower robot, we mimic the blooming of the flower, the swaying of the stem, and the stirring of the leaves, respectively, and can fabricate the sensor integrated robotic flower robot.
