A Tip Mount for Transporting Sensors and Tools using Soft Growing Robots
Sang-Goo Jeong, Margaret M. Coad, Laura H. Blumenschein +5
Pneumatically operated soft growing robots that extend via tip eversion are well-suited for navigation in confined spaces. Adding the ability to interact with the environment using…
Human-centered Control of a Growing Soft Robot for Object Manipulation
Fabio Stroppa, Ming Luo, Giada Gerboni +3
We present a user-friendly interface to teleoperate a soft robot manipulator in a complex environment. Key components of the system include a manipulator with a grasping end-effect…
Human Interface for Teleoperated Object Manipulation with a Soft Growing Robot
Fabio Stroppa, Ming Luo, Kyle Yoshida +3
Soft growing robots are proposed for use in applications such as complex manipulation tasks or navigation in disaster scenarios. Safe interaction and ease of production promote the…
Retraction of Soft Growing Robots without Buckling
Margaret M. Coad, Rachel P. Thomasson, Laura H. Blumenschein +3
Tip-extending soft robots that "grow" via pneumatic eversion of their body material have demonstrated applications in exploration of cluttered environments. During growth, the moti…
Vine Robots: Design, Teleoperation, and Deployment for Navigation and Exploration
Margaret M. Coad, Laura H. Blumenschein, Sadie Cutler +7
A new class of continuum robots has recently been explored, characterized by tip extension, significant length change, and directional control. Here, we call this class of robots "…
