Design and Control of Contactless Active Robotic Joint using AMB

This book provides the reader with covering the aspects of the design, modeling and control of a novel contactless active robotic joint using active magnetic bearing (AMB). A robot with such joint avoids dust generation, oil lubrication and friction. This makes such robot suitable for applications in clean environments such as clean and surgery rooms. Also, such joint can be used in space robots, selfrecon guration robots and robots with selective compliance. From this start, a robot with multiple joints with AMB can be provided in the future.
