Automated design of pneumatic soft grippers through design-dependent multi-material topology optimization
Josh Pinskier, Prabhat Kumar, Matthijs Langelaar +1
Soft robotic grasping has rapidly spread through the academic robotics community in recent years and pushed into industrial applications. At the same time, multimaterial 3D printin…
Towards topology optimization of pressure-driven soft robots
Prabhat Kumar
Soft robots are made of compliant materials that perform their tasks by deriving motion from elastic deformations. They are used in various applications, e.g., for handling fragile…
Topology optimization for additive manufacturing with length scale, overhang, and building orientation constraints
Prabhat Kumar, Eduardo Fernández
This paper presents a density-based topology optimization approach considering additive manufacturing limitations. The presented method considers the minimum size of parts, the min…
An improved Material Mask Overlay Strategy for the desired discreteness of pressure-loaded optimized topologies
Prabhat Kumar, Anupam Saxena
