Malleable Robots
Angus B. Clark, Xinran Wang, Alex Ranne +1
This chapter is about the fundamentals of fabrication, control, and human-robot interaction of a new type of collaborative robotic manipulators, called malleable robots, which are…
Examining the physical and psychological effects of combining multimodal feedback with continuous control in prosthetic hands
Digby Chappell, Zeyu Yang, Angus B. Clark +6
Myoelectric prosthetic hands are typically controlled to move between discrete positions and do not provide sensory feedback to the user. In this work, we present and evaluate a cl…
Malleable Robots: Reconfigurable Robotic Arms with Continuum Links of Variable Stiffness
Angus B. Clark, Nicolas Rojas
Through the implementation of reconfigurability to achieve flexibility and adaptation to tasks by morphology changes rather than by increasing the number of joints, malleable robot…
Stiffness-Tuneable Limb Segment with Flexible Spine for Malleable Robots
Angus B. Clark, Nicolas Rojas
Robotic arms built from stiffness-adjustable, continuously bending segments serially connected with revolute joints have the ability to change their mechanical architecture and wor…
An Origami-Inspired Variable Friction Surface for Increasing the Dexterity of Robotic Grippers
Qiujie Lu, Angus B. Clark, Matthew Shen +1
While the grasping capability of robotic grippers has shown significant development, the ability to manipulate objects within the hand is still limited. One explanation for this li…
A Continuum Manipulator for Open-Source Surgical Robotics Research and Shared Development
Angus B. Clark, Visakan Mathivannan, Nicolas Rojas
Many have explored the application of continuum robot manipulators for minimally invasive surgery, and have successfully demonstrated the advantages their flexible design provides…
Design and Workspace Characterisation of Malleable Robots
Angus B. Clark, Nicolas Rojas
For the majority of tasks performed by traditional serial robot arms, such as bin picking or pick and place, only two or three degrees of freedom (DOF) are required for motion; how…
