Information Processing Capability of Soft Continuum Arms
Estefany A. Torres, Kohei Nakajima, Isuru S. Godage
Soft Continuum arms, such as trunk and tentacle robots, can be considered as the "dual" of traditional rigid-bodied robots in terms of manipulability, degrees of freedom, and compl…
Near-optimal Smooth Path Planning for Multisection Continuum Arms
Jiahao Deng, Brandon H. Meng, Iyad Kanj +1
We study the path planning problem for continuum-arm robots, in which we are given a starting and an end point, and we need to compute a path for the tip of the continuum arm betwe…
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…
Efficient Reduced-Order Models for Soft Actuators
Yue Chen, Kevin C. Galloway, Isuru S. Godage
Soft robotics have gained increased attention from the robotic community due to their unique features such as compliance and human safety. Impressive amount of soft robotic prototy…
