A Modular Bio-inspired Robotic Hand with High Sensitivity
Chao Liu, Andrea Moncada, Hanna Matusik +2
While parallel grippers and multi-fingered robotic hands are well developed and commonly used in structured settings, it remains a challenge in robotics to design a highly articula…
A Low-Cost, Highly Customizable Solution for Position Estimation in Modular Robots
Chao Liu, Tarik Tosun, Mark Yim
Accurate position sensing is important for state estimation and control in robotics. Reliable and accurate position sensors are usually expensive and difficult to customize. Incorp…
Motion Planning for Variable Topology Trusses: Reconfiguration and Locomotion
Chao Liu, Sencheng Yu, Mark Yim
Truss robots are highly redundant parallel robotic systems that can be applied in a variety of scenarios. The variable topology truss (VTT) is a class of modular truss robots. As s…
A Quadratic Programming Approach to Manipulation in Real-Time Using Modular Robots
Chao Liu, Mark Yim
Motion planning in high-dimensional space is a challenging task. In order to perform dexterous manipulation in an unstructured environment, a robot with many degrees of freedom is…
