Synchronization of Dissimilar, Uncoupled Rotating Systems
- Technology Benefits
- Synchronize the motion of two dissimilar systems without physically coupling them together
- Technology Application
- robotics limbs, prosthetic design
- Detailed Technology Description
- USF Inventors have developed a kinematic matching technique that can be used to passively synchronize two physically dissimilar rotating systems to generate the same motion without any coupling or control law. The technique is generalizable and can be used to describe and match the kinematics of any open-ended rotating system chain such as rotors, cams, or pendulums. This novel technique has implications for the modeling of system dynamics, the study of swinging limbs in humans, animals, and robots, and in prosthesis design.
