A Novel Variable Stiffness Soft Robotic Gripper
Dimuthu D. Arachchige, Yue Chen, Ian D. Walker +1
We propose a novel tri-fingered soft robotic gripper with decoupled stiffness and shape control capability for performing adaptive grasping with minimum system complexity. The prop…
Center of Gravity-based Approach for Modeling Dynamics of Multisection Continuum Arms
Isuru S. Godage, Robert J. Webster, Ian D. Walker
Multisection continuum arms offer complementary characteristics to those of traditional rigid-bodied robots. Inspired by biological appendages, such as elephant trunks and octopus…
Dynamic Control of Pneumatic Muscle Actuators
Isuru S. Godage, Yue Chen, Ian D. Walker
Pneumatic muscle actuators (PMA) are easy-to-fabricate, lightweight, compliant, and have high power-to-weight ratio, thus making them the ideal actuation choice for many soft and c…
