Design and control of a soft, shape-changing, crawling robot
Vishesh Vikas, Paul Templeton, Barry Trimmer
Soft materials have many important roles in animal locomotion and object manipulation. In robotic applications soft materials can store and release energy, absorb impacts, increase…
Model-free control framework for multi-limb soft robots
Vishesh Vikas, Piyush Grover, Barry Trimmer
The deformable and continuum nature of soft robots promises versatility and adaptability. However, control of modular, multi-limbed soft robots for terrestrial locomotion is challe…
Design and locomotion control of soft robot using friction manipulation and motor-tendon actuation
Vishesh Vikas, Eliad Cohen, Rob Grassi +2
Robots built from soft materials can alter their shape and size in a particular profile. This shape-changing ability could be extremely helpful for rescue robots and those operatin…
