Soft yet Effective Robots via Holistic Co-Design
Maximilian Stölzle, Niccolò Pagliarani, Francesco Stella +6
Soft robots promise inherent safety via their material compliance for seamless interactions with humans or delicate environments. Despite progress, the field struggles to balance t…
Data-driven Methods Applied to Soft Robot Modeling and Control: A Review
Zixi Chen, Federico Renda, Alexia Le Gall +6
Soft robots show compliance and have infinite degrees of freedom. Thanks to these properties, such robots can be leveraged for surgery, rehabilitation, biomimetics, unstructured en…
Sustainably Grown: The Underdog Robots of the Future
Stoyan K. Smoukov
It is hard to imagine with the progress in robotics that current approaches are lacking somewhere, yet they will not be applicable to the majority of robots in the near future. We…
A bistable soft gripper with mechanically embedded sensing and actuation for fast closed-loop grasping
Thomas George Thuruthel, Syed Haider Abidi, Matteo Cianchetti +2
Soft robotic grippers are shown to be high effective for grasping unstructured objects with simple sensing and control strategies. However, they are still limited by their speed, s…
Modelling the Nonlinear Response of Fibre-reinforced Bending Fluidic Actuators
Vito Cacucciolo, Federico Renda, Ernesto Poccia +2
Soft actuators are receiving increasing attention from the engineering community, not only in research but even for industrial applications. Among soft actuators, fibre-reinforced…
