MRI Safe Hybrid-Fluid Actuator
The design project consists of two main components: the rotary actuator and fluid transmission line.
The fluid line connects two identical actuators. One actuator converts input rotary motion to linear motion, and the other takes the linear motion from the fluid transmission and converts it back to output rotary motion on a robotic arm joint.
