Embedding bifurcations into pneumatic artificial muscle
Nozomi Akashi, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Taketomo Jo +4
Harnessing complex body dynamics has been a long-standing challenge in robotics. Soft body dynamics is a typical example of high complexity in interacting with the environment. An…
Designing spontaneous behavioral switching via chaotic itinerancy
Katsuma Inoue, Kohei Nakajima, Yasuo Kuniyoshi
Chaotic itinerancy is a frequently observed phenomenon in high-dimensional and nonlinear dynamical systems, and it is characterized by the random transitions among multiple quasi-a…
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…
