Control and Morphology Optimization of Passive Asymmetric Structures for Robotic Swimming
Nana Obayashi, Andrea Vicari, Kai Junge +2
Aquatic creatures exhibit remarkable adaptations of their body to efficiently interact with the surrounding fluid. The tight coupling between their morphology, motion, and the envi…
Proprioceptive Sensing of Soft Tentacles with Model Based Reconstruction for Controller Optimization
Andrea Vicari, Nana Obayashi, Francesco Stella +4
The success of soft robots in displaying emergent behaviors is tightly linked to the compliant interaction with the environment. However, to exploit such phenomena, proprioceptive…
Piecewise Affine Curvature model: a reduced-order model for soft robot-environment interaction beyond PCC
Francesco Stella, Qinghua Guan, Jinsong Leng +2
Soft robot are celebrated for their propensity to enable compliant and complex robot-environment interactions. Soft robotic manipulators, or slender continuum structure robots have…
Reality-assisted evolution of soft robots through large-scale physical experimentation: a review
Toby Howison, Simon Hauser, Josie Hughes +1
In this review we introduce the framework of reality-assisted evolution to summarize a growing trend towards combining model-based and model-free approaches to improve the design o…
