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…
EfficientGrasp: A Unified Data-Efficient Learning to Grasp Method for Multi-fingered Robot Hands
Kelin Li, Nicholas Baron, Xian Zhang +1
Autonomous grasping of novel objects that are previously unseen to a robot is an ongoing challenge in robotic manipulation. In the last decades, many approaches have been presented…
A Data-Efficient Model-Based Learning Framework for the Closed-Loop Control of Continuum Robots
Xinran Wang, Nicolas Rojas
Traditional dynamic models of continuum robots are in general computationally expensive and not suitable for real-time control. Recent approaches using learning-based methods to ap…
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…
