Modeling, Reduction, and Control of a Helically Actuated Inertial Soft Robotic Arm via the Koopman Operator
David A. Haggerty, Michael J. Banks, Patrick C. Curtis +2
Soft robots promise improved safety and capability over rigid robots when deployed in complex, delicate, and dynamic environments. However, the infinite degrees of freedom and high…
Geometric Solutions for General Actuator Routing on Inflated-Beam Soft Growing Robots
Laura H Blumenschein, Margaret Koehler, Nathan S. Usevitch +3
Continuum and soft robots can leverage complex actuator shapes to take on useful shapes while actuating only a few of their many degrees of freedom. Continuum robots that also grow…
A Dexterous Tip-extending Robot with Variable-length Shape-locking
Sicheng Wang, Ruotong Zhang, David A. Haggerty +2
Soft, tip-extending "vine" robots offer a unique mode of inspection and manipulation in highly constrained environments. For practicality, it is desirable that the distal end of th…
