Tribological Analysis of Joints in Construction Exoskeletons Manufactured by 3D Printing
摘要
This study presents a tribological investigation of joint mechanisms in robotic exoskeletons designed for construction applications, employing advanced 3D printing technologies. A virtual exoskeleton model was developed to support and optimize operational efficiency in construction tasks. The primary focus of the preliminary research is the experimental evaluation of the friction coefficient on additively manufactured specimens, selected to represent the materials used in exoskeleton joints. The results provide an initial assessment of the tribological performance of these components, offering a solid foundation for the subsequent development of physical prototypes. This work underscores the potential of 3D printing to improve joint design in robotic exoskeletons and contributes to the advancement of innovative solutions tailored to the construction sector.
